Moving Tomorrow - Here’s How I Saved Money

Filed under: All, Money Saving Tips, Site Info

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m moving tomorrow. This is the second time this year, but thankfully it will be the last time for a while.

Our internet service is supposed to start at our new place tomorrow, but who knows if it actually will. So if there aren’t any posts for a few days, you know why. I’ve tried to schedule a couple posts in advance just in case.

But as a nice review, here are some of the moving tips I used to save money over this three month, double moving adventure:

I reduced the amount of stuff I had to move by giving away or donating unneeded items and made some money by selling books to used book stores.
I found free moving boxes by getting them from friends and rescuing them from recycling bins in my alley.
I saved money by shopping around and taking advantage of the cheap first month’s rent at Public Storage.
I saved money by not buying packing supplies and just using items I already had.
I saved money by using resuable products for cleaning, like reusable Swiffer cloths and rags instead of paper towels.
I prepared for moving day by putting together a moving day kit and planning ahead to save money on the day.
