í† ë�¼ 534 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 My fiance just got a job offer today and we have less than two weeks to pack and move everything. We'll have to drive for almost 10 hours to get to our new location and will be moving all of our belongings with us. I was hoping it wouldn't cost us too much as getting into our new home will be costly enough. I was wondering if anyone here had any good tips for saving money during a big move. This will be the first time for either of us to live in a different state or drive a long distance, so I'm somewhat clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schitstainz 1,562 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 - Reduce electricity costs by not using lights; use candles instead. - Learn to deal with the incoming heat from the Summer. Don't use fans or air conditioning. - Change your eating habits. - Cut down on useless garbage, like junk food, games, and entertainment. - Cut down on more useless garbage by selling the stuff you don't need. If you don't watch TV, sell it. If you don't need that couch, sell it. If you don't need your coffee table or cabinets, sell them. This allows you to spend less on your U-Haul or whatever mode of transportation you decide to go with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all over the internet. Most require cutting down and changing the way you normally live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
