Ways to Save When Moving

Moving can be expensive. Finding ways to cut cost during a move is a great idea, as long as it doesn't sacrifice quality. Here are some great ways to save some money when it comes time to move.

Downsize

One of the best ways to decrease the amount of things you need to move is by getting rid of many of your items. This will not only decrease the amount of moving boxes needed. It will also decrease the size of the moving truck needed if you can downsize substantially. Additionally, you may even be able to make some money by selling items that you no longer need.

Recycle Boxes

Moving boxes are extremely expensive given what they are. With a little bit of planning you can begin to accumulate boxes for the move. You may also check with friends and family to see if they have any extra boxes laying around. Local stores may give you their extra boxes if you check with them . Doing this can save you a substantial amount of money.

Move Options

As is the case with many things, researching your move options is a easy way to save money. One option for saving a lot of money while moving is by renting a truck or a storage unit and moving your items yourself. This may seem like a daunting task, but with careful planning you can do so with relative ease. If moving long distance the best cost effective option is to rent a storage unit and pack it yourself. This will save you a ton of money over professional freight services. If you are interested in buying or selling a property in the Costa Mesa area, Contact Torelli Realty.
