Money-Saving Moving Tips
Relocation expenses can stack up quickly: moving supplies, moving trucks, hired labor, and unexpected fees. It’s appropriate to find as many ways as you can to cut costs. Here are some top tips to help you save money during your move.
Start Planning Early
Many unexpected costs happen close to your move because of poor planning. For instance, you can significantly reduce the number of moving boxes you need by saving your delivery boxes over several weeks or months. Start planning your move at least 6-8 weeks before your moving date to allow plenty of time to compare prices, gather supplies, and book services.
Reduce Volume By Decluttering
Moving is an excellent time to sort through your belongings and keep what you need. After all, the more items you pack, the more expensive your move will be. One of the best ways to cut back the costs of your move is to seriously evaluate your possessions and decide if you want to pay to relocate them.
Choose Off-Peak Moving Seasons and Days
If possible, choose to move during the off-peak season. Winter months are the slowest time of year for moving, and although it can be inconvenient to move in the cold, it is much cheaper. If you’re unable to move during the winter, try to move during a weekday instead of a weekend. Demand for moving trucks or moving companies is highest on weekends, which makes moving during the week a cheaper option.
Gather Cheap Moving Supplies
There are many resources for locating free or cheap moving supplies. Ask friends and family to save delivery boxes, inquire at restaurants or grocery stores, or ask on social media pages. This takes time and might be inconvenient, but with planning and patience, you can save hundreds of dollars on moving supplies.
Pack Efficiently
Take time to think creatively during packing so you can fit as many things as possible into each box. For instance, you can use clothing to wrap fragile items instead of buying packing paper or bubble wrap. This not only saves money on packing supplies but also reduces the number of boxes you need.
