6 tips that will help you saving money when you buy moving and packing supply

Packing and moving materials are not cheap and this is the fact. But I have powerful confession to make: after reading this article you will be able to save hundreds of dollars. 1. Organize garage sale first and you will be surprised how much extra bucks you have for your moving and how much less stuff you will need to move! 2. Save on moving boxes by bying directly from manufacturer and get corrugated used boxes for your trip. If you buy online, look at the company's profile and make sure that they are not affiliated and you get really the best price for your boxes. In addition, you are more likely to get your boxes on time from manufacturer rathen than from someone who is just affiliated. Here are some source for used boxes: craigslit(ask local people for free boxes), Trader Joe's (great place to find small boxes with dividers for packing your kitchen's stuff), your local Macy's or Mervin's (ask them if they have boxes that they are not planning to use) 3. If you are moving long distance, get moving blankets to protect your furniture and other valuables! You will be able to use them thereafter for storage purposes, picknicking, camping or soundproofing. To buy smart, define your budget and figure out how many blankets you will need for your move. If you buy the cheapest, which are very often called furniture pads, or economy grade moving blankets, then you will need more blankets. For example, you are moving 3 bedrooms house and you need 2 bundles (24 blankets) of professional grade blankets or 3 bundles (36 blankets) of furniture pads. When you buy blankets on the Internet, check blanket's weight, dimensions and fabrics. The heaviest are 8 lbs, but for one time move professional grade medium weight blankets (approximately 6-6.5 lbs) will work great. Just remember that all cheap, economy grade blankets usually come in one color, all professional grade blankets are double colored. Double color helps professional movers to remember which side of the blanket they've been using last time for wrapping furniture.

Packing paper or wrapping paper. You can save and use old newspapers, though the ink on newsprint never thoroughly dries and the goods you wrap in newspapers are very likely to be soiled and will require you cleaning these items after unpacking. 5. Don't buy cheap 0.99 cents packing tape, especially if you are moving interstates. Choose good quality packaging tape (for example 3M packaging tape). 6. Take your time, do your homework and buy all you need for your move - moving blankets, packaging tapes, moving boxes - directly from companies, that have great price. Don't wait until your last minute when you are forced to buy from movers and pay for the same stuff hundreds of dollars over.
