When you\u2019re moving, packing can be a huge expense.\u00a0 Even if you choose not to hire help, there are a lot of costs involved in buying boxes, packing tape, and securing everything in a truck.\u00a0 If you\u2019re planning a big move, then read through this list of ways to save money.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Avoid buying boxes.\u00a0 If you\u2019re moving locally, it might make more sense to move items in multiple trips instead of moving them in one big move.\u00a0 Not only will this unpacking more manageable, it will also let you reuse boxes and other moving supplies.\u00a0 Also consider using other containers, such as large buckets, plastic storage boxes, and laundry baskets to avoid buying cardboard boxes.<\/li>\n
  2. Sell your stuff.\u00a0 If you\u2019re moving across the country, then you\u2019ll probably pay per pound to move your stuff.\u00a0 Consider if the cost of every item in your house to move it.\u00a0 If you wouldn\u2019t pay that much to keep the item, or if it\u2019s cheaper to buy a new one when you arrive, sell or donate it.\u00a0 Purging your home in this fashion can shave thousands of pounds off of your move.<\/li>\n
  3. Use your towels and washcloths.\u00a0 Instead of packing these separately, place a washcloth between your plates and bowls instead of packing paper.\u00a0 Use bath towels as small moving blankets for lamps and photo frames.\u00a0 Sheets and blankets can be used to protect large items of furniture.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Of course, make sure you remember to give the agents at Front Range Insurance Services a call before your big move.\u00a0 They can help you update your policy so that it\u2019s ready as soon as you move in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
