    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; color: black;">The best time to go through your things and declutter is when you move into a new home. You should consider getting rid of things you don't need anymore. It can be a piece of old furniture, the television or the piano set you don&rsquo;t use anymore, or the toys you grew up playing with.</span></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; color: black;">Begin by making a list of the things that are no longer required but are still valuable enough to sell and pocket the cash to spend on moving expenses.</span></p>

    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">2.<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">Use <a href="https://www.facebook.com/marketplace">social media</a> to sell your products</span></span></p>

    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">4.<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">Donate</span></span></p>
    <h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><strong><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; color: black;">Ask Around For Packaging The Material Before Buying Any!</span></strong></span></h2>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; color: black;">Before going to any of the supplies stores to buy the packaging material, ask your friends and family if they have any extra boxes that they need to get rid of!</span></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; color: black;">You will find people on the websites such as <a href="https://geo.craigslist.org/iso/us">craigslist</a>, offer up, and others who are trying to give away the old boxes for free. </span></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; color: black;">Other than that, <a href="https://www.walmart.com/">supermarkets</a> and grocery stores have larges boxes piled up for grabs all the time, you can go and collect them before they crush them. It can cost $100-200 just to buy the packaging material, so there's no need to waste money when you can organize the boxes in other ways.</span></p>
    <h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><strong><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; color: black;">Rent A Moving Truck!</span></strong></span></h2>

    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; color: black;">Do some homework by visiting different rental companies to get the best rate. Some truck rental businesses bill by miles you are driving, while others bill by how many days you will keep the truck. </span></p>
    <h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><strong><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; color: black;">Ask Our Friends And Family To Help You Pack!</span></strong></span></h2>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; color: black;"><a href="https://internationalvanlines.net/">Moving companies</a> also charge up to $100 per hour to pack your belongings. Attempt the "do it yourself" technique. You should seek the support of friends and family to help you pack because doing it all by yourself can be stressful and a lot of work for one person, particularly during the final days of the move.</span></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; color: black;">Packing and moving is a tiring job, make sure you feed your friends during the process:-) Order a <a href="https://www.pizzahut.com/">pizza</a> or make sandwiches at home. </span></p>

    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; color: black;">When you're down to the last few weeks before your transfer, go through your&nbsp;refrigerator and make the most of what you have. This will help you save money on food costs in the days leading up to the transfer, and you&nbsp;will also&nbsp;minimize wasted food.</span></p>
    <h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><strong><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; color: black;">Buy New Stuff:</span></strong></span></h2>
