If you go to any of the moving stores, they want a fortune for boxes. But you can go to any office supply store and get those banker boxes for about a buck each. They're strong, stackable, and inexpensive. Banker boxes - that’s my moving tip. If you go to any of the moving stores, they want a fortune for boxes.

If you use the heavier duty plastic hangers like I do, you can make packages of 10-12 hangers with clothes on them, secured with a zip tie or tow. Make these little bundles and then cover them with a larger trash bag to prevent clothes slipping off the hanger or becoming dirty. When you get into your new place, all you have to do is hang them up, take off the bags and cut the zip ties. I've been moving almost every year for the past 4 years. And if you can find them, heavy duty pallet wrap and a hand truck. Stack medium sturdy boxes on top of each other in a stack five to six tall, wrap them and move them with the hand truck. Does the work of five or six trips in one. And, most important, always pay your moving helpers in beer... Zip ties — this is my favorite moving tip.
