Moving can be an expensive process. As a result, you want to try to save money wherever you can. One of the ways that you can start saving money is through your moving supplies. Without a doubt, getting moving supplies can be costly. After all, people often have to buy new items for each move. However, there are plenty of ways to avoid increasing the cost of your move. Right now, Men on the Move has some helpful moving tips just for you!
Do you still have leftover moving supplies from your last move? Most people throw away their moving supplies after they are done. However, one of the best ways to save your money is to reuse your moving supplies. As long as your items are in good condition, you can use them on your next move and even future moves to come! Not to mention, it’s great for the environment.
Don’t forget to ask your friend and/or family member has gone through a move recently. Ask them! Maybe they have saved some. Now, what do you do when you don’t have supplies from a previous moves and neither do your friends and family?
Who says a moving box has to be made out of cardboard? Instead of using a box of traditional cardboard boxes, you can find alternative boxes. You can use plastic pins, wooden boxes, and other items. Anything can be a box! Don’t want to pay for a moving blanket? Use one of your old blankets instead to prevent your items from getting scratched up. You can even use foam instead of cardboard dividers for a cheaper solution. We’ve seen empty coolers, cabinets, suit cases, even empty freezers used for packing items. In these cases it is imperative to have items safely packed and inform your mover!
One of the best ways to guarantee you will use less moving supplies is to have less stuff! When you are moving into a new home, it is easier to put things away when you do not have extra stuff. Getting rid of any items that you no longer need will reduce the amount of moving supplies. You will start your new life with less clutter; win-win!
Saving money through your moving supplies is one of the best ways to reduce the stress of your move. If you’re hiring a mover like Men on the Move, ask about supplies some may be discounted.
