Moving Tip #9: Keep Eating or Donate it

Got canned or non-perishable food in the pantry that's been there since you're last move?  Decide if you really are going to eat what's in your pantry or make a donation pile to donate to a food drive, either way, the more you get rid of the less you have to move.

Moving Tip #5: Sell or Donate What you Don't Need

For me, going through and donating my stuff has been an on-going project for the last couple of years.  It feels great to reduce what you have to only what you really need or want to keep as a keepsake.

Getting ready for a move can be a perfect time to go through and get rid of stuff if you feel like you have too much of it.  You can decide what to keep, donate or find a creative use for (which I try to also do).

Getting rid of stuff before you move will also make moving easier, obviously because you will have less to move.

Donating is a great option for your unwanted items but you could also try a garage sale or selling your stuff on eBay or Craigslist.

Throwing out unwanted items is always my last resort, especially these days, when there are so many other environmentally friendly options.
