Inflation has everybody looking for ways to keep more money in their pockets; however, some purchases are simply unavoidable. Moving is one of those things that you have to do sometimes. Moving companies can quote you thousands, but the professionals at U-Haul have curated a list of their top money-saving tips to help you on your next move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan In Advance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Planning ahead of moving day will be your opportunity to save the most money. For instance, moving supplies<\/a> can drain the budget quickly, so plan ahead and hunt for free boxes<\/a>. U-Haul centers<\/a> have a Take a Box, Leave a Box program<\/a> for anyone to take advantage of lightly used, free boxes. Boxes and other moving supplies can also be obtained from the box exchange<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be careful getting boxes from liquor and grocery stores. Non-moving boxes are sized specifically for the items they are carrying and can leave gaps when cubing out a moving structure. These “gaps” will lead to load shifts during transit, and ultimately costly damage to customer’s goods. In addition, many report that used boxes procured from from grocery and liquor store have bugs hiding\/living in the fluting that can infest household goods. Because of this, you may be better off getting a discounted bundle of boxes at your local U-Haul center, along with other needed packing supplies that you know are the highest quality on the market, for the lowest cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the boxes are secured, packing starts now! The earlier you start, the easier it’s going to feel and you won’t have to hire last minute help<\/a> to pack. See more helpful planning tips below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
