We did this and it is a great way to save weight. We also checked the weight of everything we bought new. Many items available on-line give the weight and drying times, so worth checking before heading for the shops. You can always take a small set of scales with youKiwiNomad06 said:..............
Sil has a tip to use scales while you pack- and it is amazing how when you keep choosing an item that is one or two hundred grams lighter than another one, it all adds up to a kilogram or two or three in the end!................
Happy penance dude!

Do you really have these around ....and are they small enough to carry with you to a shop?
Pictures please...
