The Bottom Line Moving doesn't HAVE to be expensive, especially for single ppl with little to move
Here's 5 ways to save money when moving: 1: Sell or give away stuff you haven't used in a year: Chances are if you haven't used it in a year you probably won't. Garage sales and flea markets are an excellent way to help raise money for a move. Unless you are lucky and your move is free, the extra cash WILL come in handy ;) 2: Upgrade appliances and furniture NOW: If you are planning on replacing an appliance, bed, furniture or any other large item NOW is the time to do it. Sell the "old" item now and buy a replacement when you move to your new place. 3: Compare shipping and storage costs vs how much the item is worth: Sometimes it is actually cheaper to sell and replace an item than it is to ship and store it, especially if you buy used stuff at the new place. 4: Use a trailer: If you can slim down what you are going to take with you enough you can fit it all in a 6x12 uhaul trailer and tow it behind your car A trailer for me cost $172.00 vs $1000.00 for a truck and car dolly. The 6x12 trailer is only a good option for single people with medium to large cars/trucks. Always rent the biggest trailer your car/truck can pull as you can never have enough room. The big trailer isn't much more expensive than the small one either. Any car will get better gas mileage than a uhaul truck pulling your car on a dolly 5: Travel in the week: Many times moving vans are cheaper in the week not to mention more avalible. Also some hotels offer discounted rates for staying in the week.  |
