Alternatives: Relocating? Cut Your Moving Time in Half

If you’re moving and you want to cut down on time, use grocery bags instead of boxes. This will cut your moving time in half because you will be able to carry more bags in your hands than boxes. Not only that, you can fit more bags into confined spaces (i.e. car) as opposed to boxes since they shift around better. This tip works wonders and you’ll be shocked at how much time you saved.

I can personally vouch for this since I’ve done it (during two moves). On my first move I ran out of boxes, so I supplemented them with grocery bags. It was then during my move I realized it was a blessing in disguise. That I’d moved almost all of my stuff in half the time it would’ve normally taken.

Since then I’ve never returned to boxes during a move–except for when they were absolutely necessary.

My sister and mother also agree. After I suggested they do the same when they moved, they were shocked at how much faster they were able to move things to their new place.

So, give it a try and if you like it, stick with it. If you don’t… well, you tried and that’s the best that anyone can do for themselves. Remember, during your move, it doesn’t mean you have to omit moving with boxes all together. Just use them only when absolutely necessary and commit to using bags for the majority of your items.
