6. “We’re moving right now and EVERYTHING moving related is so much more expensive than I remember it being during our last move six years ago. Boxes are ridiculously expensive! Garbage bags, hangers, tape, movers. We also need a new sofa because ours is not worth transporting to our new home. They are ASTRONOMICAL! I’ve been scoping out Facebook marketplace for any and every affordable used option. But when it’s all said and done, we’ll be out at least $2,000 just for moving and supplies alone. No furniture, deposits, etc.”

“You can also see if there is a Buy Nothing group in your area where people post items they have to give or post in search of items. I’m in one where I live and people are always giving moving supplies.”
