Best Packing Materials that You Already Own

by | Dec 16, 2016 | Features

Having moved a million-bajillion times, there are only so many free newspapers you can swipe to pack your breakables in. Bubble wrap and materials can get extra pricey, especially if you move more than once every decade, so instead turn to your cupboards and cabinets. Here are a few of the things you can use to keep boxes from squishing and my breakables from losing an arm or a leg.

Key Takeaways:

  • Moving house on a budget however does not stop at renting a moving truck and calling in your strong-armed friends.
  • Use these to pack the tiny nuts and bolts from your disassembled furniture and shelves, or fill them with air to create puffy cushions that you can use as fillers.
  • Throw your shoes, boots, toys and miscellaneous middle-sized bulky items into the hamper and secure on top with a plastic sheet or pillowcase.
