Yard sale to cut down the cost of moving

Moving this spring? You might consider holding a yard sale in preparation for your move. Did you know that your Orange County moving costs will in part be determined by the weight of your belongings? Moving is an excellent time to discern what you want to take with you.

As you sort through and pack up your belongings, you will certainly come up against many items you have outgrown in one way or another. Consider these questions when deciding what is worth taking along:

• Do I have a use for this item in my new home and in this new stage of my life?
• Will this fit in my new space?
• Have I used this item in the last 2 years?

If you answer No, why pay to move these items? Yard sales can be fun and earn you cash toward your Orange County moving expenses or new items that you will use and enjoy in your new home. There are many resources on the web for organizing and advertising your yard sale including this great article on TLC-10 Tips for Managing a Moving Sale.

Another great way to lighten up your Orange County moving freight is by donating your dry food goods. You will save money while helping your local food bank.
