I wouldn’t say I regret any specific item, but I REALLY regretted not purging as much unnecessary things as possible before I moved. I had bought all these storage shelves and book shelves to store these things and then when I got rid of literally 60% of my stuff I realized I had all this furniture I no longer needed. Pro tip: declutter the crap out of your belongings BEFORE moving. Youll be happy you did.
Thats exactly what Im doing now. I wanted to go crazy beforehand but I'm like no, because once I get in and really settle. I will prob want to change it and overthink. Literally going to wait until i move in and tread slow so i don't buy unnecessary things. I'm very impulsive and to buy for one room at a time. I like what she said about buying cheap first then seeing what I use and dont use.
If you need more Tupperware, get glass ones! They last so much longer and you can microwave them. Costco usually has nice sets of glass ones for like $19.99!! :)
I bought an "expensive" set of flatware and am thoroughly pleased with my decision! It's been 35 yrs now and their still going strong, not an issue with anything. They're a classic design (can go traditional or modern) from Mikasa purchased at Macy's, I will be passing them on to my grandchildren : ) So don't despair Sophia, the only thing I would be unsure of is the 'Gold' color. "Tupperware" ideas: Reuse yogurt, cottage cheese, butter containers that have good lids and they're free with purchase of the item. My firm suggestion for anyone starting out is to buy quality, it will last so long it will amaze you. I have towels 30 yrs old and just now starting to look their age. But don't buy expensive just because it costs a lot, buy quality -- value.
As someone who's worked retail, if you need boxes go to your mall! Often times stores would get a shipment and have a TONNNNN of boxes & honestly we were always willing to give them away. (One less thing to worry about in the store)
Kinda late to this video but I hope someone sees this! A really great place to get boxes is shoe stores. I work at a shoes store and we throw away at least 50 moving-sized boxes a week. If you go in and ask one of the workers they will probably just give them to you!
9:58 When the parchment paper runs out you should get a silicon baking mat. They last basically forever, seriously cut down on waste, save tons of money in the long run and as long as you get the right size they will perfectly fit your tray!
Another great way to get Tupperware is saving (and washing) plastic take-out boxes and any plastic containers that your food comes in in the grocery store! (Like sandwich meats often come in plastic containers) it’s a great way to save money cause you already bought the item and it helps reduce waste!! It’s also great if you want to package food for your friends cause you don’t need to ask for it back cause you didn’t buy them!!
Lol I moved into my first apartment recently and was saving all my amazon boxes and other package boxes and my moms boxes and I had duffle bags . I was not willing to spend money on boxes. But also you can go to the grocery store and ask for the boxes and they give them to you for free. My friend did that with their move. Also when I moved I switched the type of WiFi I was going for and now saving $17 a month and I’m getting higher speed with Disney+ for free for a whole year.
@@ihateyouall7026 hey, so I had Verizon and was paying $58 for 100/100 but the building I was moving to and Verizon both didn’t support 100/100 and the lady said I had to switch to 200/200 and it would put me at $39.99 for a whole year or two. I’m not sure how long but it also came with Disney + free for a year. It was in may or June when they were having a special. Gotta catch when they have their specials to change the plans because sometimes “you need an update”.
Sorry if this makes you feel uneasy, but with that security stick thing that you put on your door, I had one on the front door to keep our roommate that did not pay rent out of the house once he “unofficially”officially moved out. And one day he came back and tried to use his key to open the front door and obviously didn’t work because that stick was on it, but with him ramming into the door a good hard three times he was able to still bust in and he also broke the security chain lock off the door as well
You can also get some boxes for moving for free from workplaces, because they need to get rid of shipping boxes for work equipment/supplies. For example, I work at a hospital & we are constantly dealing w/ boxes of medical supplies & equipment.
My dad has always used plain two by fours that he sort of creates into these jams to keep windows shut (like for long term use if you're locking up a cottage for the winter). I've never seen one like this for a home. That's awesome!
I have a good tip for acquiring good boxes for free: If your local grocery stores meat department offers "Smart Chicken" brand chicken (most do), call them everyday to request setting the boxes aside for you. By far, the best cardboard boxes for moving. They can hold up to 30 pounds (possibly more), *no tape needed*, have built in handles, glued sides/corners, they're all the same size, and stack easily.
Can you do a video on cute/functional pantry storage?? I am moving into my place in august and tackling the small pantry is hard when you want it to be cute and functional!! I loved your video!
Do you know that if you lock the door and leave the key horizontally in it , no one can get in, cause they cant push that key out to try with their utensils opening the door ? Or get a security door
In the Netherlands we have baking paper ( parchment paper? We call it baking paper) that has already been cut in those rolls and it's super cheap, like 0.90 cents for 30 sheets! We use it all the time!
Biggest regret purchase: brand new couches. I have 2 cats that are not declawed (and never will be). I got a woven material couch and yea.. it was a big scratching post to them. I will never spend thousands on new couches again and will always just find nice and clean used ones. I love my fur babies too much to ban them from being on my furniture (or chopping their paws up).
If you’re moving go get free moving boxes from stores. Ulta (my store atleast), will happily give people boxes to move if you need them! Don’t pay for cardboard you’re going to throw away!!!!
Thanks for the video! Also, I know some places like the chinese restaurant near me always delivers food in black Tupperware containers with clear lids so not throwing them away, and saving a handful can come in handy :)
I regret buying a lot more dishes and cups and plates than I needed for a single person apartment, it’s extremely cluttered and I had to sell some of them bc it was just me, and I didn’t need to feed 40 people so like a cheap pack of plates cups and stuff l would recommend.
i work in retail and that’s where i’m getting my moving boxes from. We get shipment at least 2-3 times a week as most retail places do so you can always go to the mall and ask if they have any spare boxes.
I use sling TV I get all channels and extra total TV deal package for 77 a month would be 50 if I just wanted all the channels. And I get a lot of channels cheap I love it
I wanna get the security bar but what happens if there's a fire or something happens and the police/firefighters, etc. need to get in but they can't cause of it?
I used to work in the bakery section at fred meyer and i gave out boxes for free there all the time, probably true of any grocery store :) just don't go too late or we will have thrown them away already
I bought all my silverware at Walmart a pack on sale. And some from the dollar store. I got cups bowls and plates at the dollar store. and Walmarts 50 cent sales

I definitely need to check Costco!! I don't know why I haven't thought of that before!
Just so you know, tupperware is a brand.do not know uf they still sell them. You could only get it at tuperware partys.
also they dont get those permanent yellow stains lol

Moving your clothes on hangers is EASY if you use trash bags as garment bags

You do not need to buy boxes. .... stores give them away for free everyday, but liquor store boxes are usually best quality in my experience.
SO happy to see security things featured !! Yes!! As a woman I always think of these things, glad I'm not the only one. New subscriber here
Can you do like a kitchen tour because is really important to know like all the things you need for your kitchen
when you said you spent 50+ on boxes my jaw DROPPED.
I know 😭😭😭 i basically constantly think about all the other things I could have bought with that $50 🤣
Same I'm like wtf
Omg that’s sooo much 😳😳I got all my moving boxes for free since I work at a grocery store lol

Please don’t. If your place catches on fire or any other situation you might need rescued from it will hinder people rescuing you.
Do you know that if you lock the door and leave the key horizontally in it , no one can get in, cause they cant push that key out to try with their utensils opening the door ? Or get a security door
