Saving Tips For Moving
Filed Under Special
Well guess what folks… We are moving from our apartment to another apartment thats a bit nicer and less expensive. Talk about stress! The next couple weeks are going to be nuts. When you are moving things can get costly two. You gotta have a game plan or you could be losing money that you could have saved.
Here are a few tips which should help you to save some loot and put that towards something more important down the road (like a new flat screen tv… NOT!!).
1. If possible, move everything out a day or 2 in advance so there is no overlapping time that you have to pay for at your current apartment or home you might be renting.
2. Don’t lose your deposit. If you paid a high deposit, then make sure you leave everything clean and in good repair so you get it back.
3. Make a decision about the moving expenses of your furniture. Sometimes its cheaper to just get rid of the big things you have rather than trying to haul it to another city if you are moving out of town.
4. Moving supplies can get expensive. Don’t buy boxes from a moving company. Go get boxes from a local grocery store. They usually don’t mind since they are recycled anyways.
5. Make sandwiches during your moving ordeal. It can be easy to justify eating out for the next several days during the moving process because you emptied out the refrigerator, or because you feel to tired to make anything. Remember… there are already expenses involved with the move by itself. Save as much as possible, you might need that money later on.
6. If you work Monday-Friday, make your move count, and move on the weekend so there is little interference with your current job unless you got a new one. Remember, timing is going to be crucial on multiple things, so focus on making a smooth transition.
I think thats about all I have for right now. Maybe I will share with you how I got more space and will be paying less on my new apartment in the next post. Time for a beer
