Hi Everyone! First off I want to say sorry that my first video for the University Series isn't up (you can read more about the series here). I've had a tone of trouble with my computer lately and wasn't able to get the first video up for today. However to make up for it, I will be posting the first and second video up this Thursday so be sure to keep a look out for those two! I will also be doing in depth blog posts here about each of the videos.
Now on to today's post. Since I am doing the University Series, I wanted to say on a similar topic for this post, I'll be talking about how to pack on a budget!
Things You'll Need for Packing
Boxes
Tape
Packing Paper
Markers
How to Save Money
Boxes - for your boxes, don't go out and buy brand new boxes from a packing store as they'll be over priced. Instead go to your local McDonald's, Walmart of Grocery Store and pick up some boxes there. They are always happy to give away boxes they aren't using as they would have gone into the garbage. Tip : Make sure to check the boxes before you take them for rips or grime on them.
Tape - Head to your local Walmart and pick up some clear packing tape for a good price. Tip : Get tape that includes a handle with a sharp edge, this will come in handy when you need to cut the tape.
Packing Paper - If you want your can go and pick up some brown packing paper from a moving company, or you could simply use old newspaper. It does the same job and it doesn't cost you a cent! Tip : Make sure to wash any dishes you've wrapped as newspaper will leave some ink on your dishes.
Markers - These come in handy when labelling your boxes, and you can pick them up at Walmart or even the Dollar Store. Tip : Make sure to get a black marker as it will be easier to read when you're unpacking.
Do any of you have good tips for packing on a budget? Happy packing!
