I'm looking for space and time saving… Ideas on how not to re-wash everything again once you move-in.

have you tried looking for space bags? you put your stuff into these bags and then use this vaccum to **** the air out. it compresses your clothes. however i dont know about how they will smell afterwards. Hope this helps.

Yeah 1. pack toilet paper last 2. Label everything where it will go when you get to your new place not where it came from makes for easier unpacking.

Just think 'Glad bags'. So much easier using these for clothes and blankets.

Hire a mover and go on vacation while the whole thing is happening. What you will save on therapy and liquor will be more than the cost of the move.

As a military spouse (and having moved eight times in twelve years), my motto has always been "when in doubt, throw it out"! Get REALLY brutal about what's "important" to keep.

Also, don't use newspaper on your dishes and such – yeah, it's cheaper, but NOT worth the headaches of having to SCRUB newsprint off everything. Get bubble paper, it's WORTH it… and KEEP the bubble paper for the next move, if you anticipate moving again.

Clothes: if there's dirty laundry, PACK it that way – you can wash it (JUST ONCE) after you get there and get settled.

Another clothes tip: if you're using boxes to transport clothing, line the box with a large trash bag… this way if the box gets damaged, the contents won't get as affected.

There's more, I'm sure… but hopefully those will be a start for you.

Best of luck in your new home!

Clean everything thats dirty before you box it and it will be clean when u get there unless your using an open trailer or tying it to the roof of your car!
Packing tips???
Label each box as to what room it came from or general contents of box, like kitchen, living room, pictures, wall stuff, linens, etc….. I use a large sharpie.
If there are multiple members of your family, put their name on the box. Makes it a whole lot easier.
Oh…and make one box the OPEN FIRST box.
Keep it at the back of the truck or otherwise accessible.
That box should include…..sheets for everyones beds (you'll be tired), everyones pillows, toilet paper, soap, towels and washcloths, some basic dishes, cups and silverware. That will help you get clean, fed, and to bed. Basic needs but so frustrating if you dont have what you need!

Take everything from the house and give it to the first person you find that is less fortunate than you are. You will feel great, they will feel great; and then you get new stuff!!!!

AWESOME!!!!
