The Optimal Amount of Self Moving vs Hiring Movers to Control Cost

We found a new house to rent, but we are busy with kids and work and don’t want to be burdened by the hard work of moving houses.  The convenience of movers comes at a cost.  My wife and I have been discussing how much of the work we want to do. While I’m sensitive to cost, I don’t want to lift all the heavy things.

The movers came by our house today to give us a quote and gave us this advice.  Pack your pictures, wall hangings, and vases yourself. Those are expensive items to move relative to how much time it will take you to do it yourself.  Tip number two.  Save on moving supplies by getting free boxes from Craigslist.

I think we have a plan.
