Hostel bunk curtain hack that saved me $40 on my Tokyo trip last month

I was in Tokyo last month staying at a budget hostel in Shinjuku. The bunk bed curtains were those thin white ones that barely blocked light. Couldn't sleep past 5am. On day 3 I grabbed a couple of those black trash bags from the front desk and clipped them over the curtain rods with binder clips I had in my bag. Total blackout for under a dollar. Got solid sleep the rest of the trip. Has anyone else found simple fixes like this that make budget stays way better?

Picked up a sleep mask at Daiso for like $3, works wonders too.

Yeah it's funny how the smallest things can totally save your day.
