How to Find Cheap Moving Help

Published November 20, 2012

Moving companies

offer all the tools and help you need when moving.  However, they cost a pretty penny… err, many thousands of them.  So, what do you do if you need help moving, but your moving budget is more dollar menu than five-star restaurant?

Finding Cheap Moving Help:

  • Friends & Family – Getting your friends and family to help you move is the best way to save money.  Maybe you have to front a pack of beer, dinner or a returned favor, but their help should be very low cost.
  • Co-workers – Besides friends and family, co-workers are some of the best people to ask for help from.  They know you well, you know them well, and both of you know that you’ll see each other on Monday.
  • Online Classifieds – Online classifieds, like Craigslist and Taskrabbit, are great places to enlist moving help for a low price.  Usually you can find someone who can help you with one or two difficult things, then you can handle the rest on your own.
