Retail Bootcamp: Save Money When Moving - Organize & Purge
I'm passing along what I've learned from our move a couple of Summers ago. Here are some more practical and easy ways you can Save Money When Moving.
Tip #3 - Organize & Purge
- Label boxes with index cards. I took Neon Index Cards (BTW, I bought them at rock bottom with coupons) and labeled each box with the room and the contents. Each room had a different color. This helped tremendously when others were helping us move. They knew immediately where each box belonged.
- Pay someone to pack you. I talked to someone who actually hired someone from Craigslist to pack them. Time is money. If you're short on time, than this might be a terrific alternative.
- Purge while packing. Designate a box for Garage Sale or Donate. There's no point in moving items you don't need.
- Sell items on Craigslist / Have a Garage Sale. We were able to sell some large items on Craigslist prior to moving. That money helped quite a bit with moving expenses.
