Garage Sale Before You Move

All My Sons Moving and Storage of Austin thinks it’s a great idea to have a huge garage sale a few weeks before you move. We’re sure you’ve accumulated tons of stuff over the years at your present home, and it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get rid of the things you don’t use before stepping into your new place. You’ll move less stuff which means you’ll pay less for your move and start fresh. All My Sons Austin movers suggests you look at your personal belongings and separate the things you want from the things you don’t. Look at your clothing. We’re sure some items don’t fit anymore and some are just plain out of style. Look at knick-knacks around the house, like picture frames, art you don’t like anymore, little vases, extra lamps, anything you don’t really use can be part of your garage sale. You might even have extra appliances like an extra toaster, blender, coffee maker or waffle maker. All My Sons Austin movers says to also sift through toys. If you have kids they probably have toys they’ve outgrown or just don’t like anymore. Those can also be part of your garage sale. Finally, don’t forget to put signs around your neighborhood. Include your address and date of the garage sale. You’ll unload a lot of things you don’t use and won’t have to drag them into your new home.
