Re: Best Moving Tips
My best moving tip is planning ahead for unpacking. Label kitchen cabinets with what goes where, and label your boxes as well (ex. "Dinner plates/bowls" "Drinking glasses" "pots and pans"). This will enable you to have help unpacking if needed.
Don't fold clothes - put garbage bags over the clothes on hangers in your closet like garment bags (make a small hole in the bottom for the hanger). Then at the new house rip off the garbage bag after you hang them up in the closet.
First, I would focus on the kitchen b/c it takes hours to pack.
I would also purge as much as possible - set a date for Salvation Army or whoever does charity pick-up in your area to come the week before your move so you can put out items you don't need. If you are able to clear out a spare room or something, designate it your 'moving room' to put boxes and such.
