Moving is expensive. There are no if, and, or buts about it. It is fair to expect moving costs to exceed $1,000 and that is on the lighter side in most cases. While moving is not going to come cheap, it is all about how you approach our move that contributes to how much money, time, and stress you can save in the process of doing so. Most moving costs are necessary and unavoidable but here are some easy ways to save some money whether you moving within the state or out of it.
Schedule Ahead of Time
Being proactive and having a plan is a good motto for anything you do in life, especially when it comes to moving. A good way to save a fair amount of money when it is time to book a moving company is to do so well ahead of time. Once you know you need the assistance of a moving company, look into booking an appointment as soon as possible. Do not wait until the last minute to secure movers and do some research on moving days. On some days, like the weekdays, rates are significantly cheaper than say the weekend or holidays. Avoiding popular or common days for moving is a good place to start.
Downsize Before You Move
Our homes are filled with countless items we no longer need or want. As you start to pack up to move out, get rid of your “junk” items. We all have a tendency to hoard items at times, but this is not the time for that. When it comes to moving, storage space is precious so cutting back on everything you do not need or want anymore will free up valuable space and money. If you believe some of the items you do not want to bring with you on your next move still have decent value, a yard sale or donation drive are good alternatives.
Only Buy Supplies You Need
More often than not, people buy more moving supplies than they need. People often end up not using as many moving boxes and materials they bought in the first place so it is important to buy moving supplies efficiently. You do not need to buy it all at once, you can always go back and buy more once you have a better understanding of how much you need.
