And punching holes in it to dig out beans was no fun. And I didn’t find out until I was already in the middle of cooking chili and needed beans. Grab any quick kitchen tools you can’t find – Somehow in moving our can opener was misplaced. It can also be used to wrap screws for furniture, toys, etc to that item so they don’t get lost (put them in a baggie first preferably). Get some rolls of cling wrap – You can use cling wrap to wrap up those dishes you put styrofoam plates between to keep them from moving much.
I know I had a box that was supposed to be unpacked first, but I couldn’t find it once we got there.ĭid you also know you can use a styrofoam plate between each regular plate when packing them for easy packing protection? Pick up paper plates, napkins, and silverware – Both for when you’re at the end of your move or for when you first get to your new location, you can easily get the plates and utensils you need. You can also use the bungee bands and mattress bands to help roll up blankets and secure boxes to shelves inside of your moving truck/pod. Use mattress protectors, sheet holders, and small bungees while packing – Mattress protectors can be used to wrap things with drawers like chests and then the protector can be taped. They also have pretty much everything you need in terms of cleaning either your old place or new one. Get cleaning supplies – The Dollar Tree actually has some of my favorite reusable cleaning supplies. And when you have a crew of friends and family helping, it helps catch their attention too. I slapped these on boxes to be able to quickly indicate if something was either fragile or heavy.
I even found some that were fluorescent colors. Buy sharpies – Of course, moving requires sharpies, and yes, the Dollar Tree has them.ĭon’t forget COLORFUL labels – I found packages of Polaroid labels that were both circular and basic labels.
