As far as packing materials, try to get as much as possible for FREE. Try the grocery store or as around, your friends or colleagues might just have recently moved and still have a few boxes. Try saving old newspapers in the months or weeks leading up to your move, so you can wrap your delicate items with it. You can also us sheets or towels to pad some of the stuff.

You can pack your items yourself instead of asking the moving company to do it for you. Get a few friends to help out or involve the entire family to get stuff done faster.

Downsize. There are probably plenty of things that you don’t use anymore. There’s no point in moving those items. That’ll just add weight to your load which in turn will cost you more. Give things to charity instead. Or have a garage sale, make a few bucks. You can also try to sell things on Ebay or Craigslist.

Don’t try to perform the move yourself. You can end up injuring your back which can lead to high medical bills and that’s going to cost you a pretty penny. If you hire a professional company, you’ll get a good service and you’ll save your health.

Try to be flexible, so give yourself enough time to actually move. You might find that one date is better than the next or that the weekend is more expensive than the weekday. Ask your moving company if they have any discounts for first-time customers or if they offer any rebates on specific days of the week. You never know until you ask. Be upfront with them and let them know you are looking to save money.

Save Money, Have a Roommate or Two

So you’ve decided to purchase a home, which makes sense because the current housing market has some great deals nationwide. Moving and buying a home can get pricey, but there are still ways to save. Just because you’re owning a home, doesn’t mean you can’t share it with someone or even have two roommates for that matter. You can share your bills while still being a homeowner. In fact, extra people in your place can help you pay for your mortgage, electricity bills and other home expenses that can quickly add up. If you’re still single, it’s a great way to save some money while still investing in buying a home.

If you’re planning on sharing your space with someone else, try to find that perfect roommate before actually moving. Someone responsible, professional and someone that respects your privacy. Let them know that you own this place and want to try to keep it in good condition. You can possibly share your moving expenses, including the movers.

Being a homeowner means you’ll have expenses besides the regular bills like cable, internet, phone and that sort of thing, which you can definitely share with your roommate if they use those services too. But, you’ll have added expenses like gardening or snow shoveling, property taxes and in some cases condo association fees. Make sure you calculate the total of these bills and factor them into your roommate’s rent. Don’t forget to discuss this with your roommate, so they know what is included in their rent.

Moving also includes home repairs, decorating, painting and those kinds of things. Because it’s your house, most of these additions and maybe even repairs will be your responsibility, however, if your roommate wants something specific, there’s no reason why they can’t share some of the expenses or pay for it entirely. For example, if your roommate wants to paint their bedroom walls a certain color, they can pay for it themselves.

 In the end, it’s best to talk openly about the house’s expenses and see what you’re both comfortable with. Remember, if you’re looking for a moving company, call All My Sons Moving and Storage of Maryland.
