Before you move

• Update your address for all your subscriptions, bank accounts, and other utilities at least 7-10 days prior to moving. 
• Plan your meals accordingly, so that you don’t end up wasting any food from your refrigerator. 
• Measure EVERYTHING. Get rid of the furniture that can’t fit in your new home. 
• It’s cheaper to move in the middle of the week or the middle of the month. Schedule your moving according to it. It will help you save some money. 

Save time, money, and hassle while packing

• Use bubble wrap to wrap your fragile items such as dishes, paintings, and antiques etc.
