When relocating home there are a lot of things that need to be considered: from the very beginning with planning everything until the end on the moving day. But somewhere in between there is something that many people don’t consider and they don’t know that if they did, they would save some money. Packing materials are very important when relocating because they keep your belongings safe from damage and even loss, so you should consider a few tips if you want a safe relocation but with saving money as well. •    If you want your possessions safe then you should consider buying packing boxes. These are very easy to use and sturdy enough for the different types of items you may need to relocate. But sometimes these boxes are quite expensive so you can rent boxes or take them from friends who just moved house. The moving boxes that you can rent are made of plastic and they are sure to carry the weight of your items. There are of course boxes made of cardboard as well, but the latter ones are not as safe, especially if they had been used before. The plastic moving boxes might be more expensive that the cardboard ones when renting them, but they are surely more safe.•    Have you considered searching the internet for packing materials? If not, then you should start looking today. If you know exactly how many boxes and other packing materials you need then the internet might be the saving solution. It is true that you risk a little bit when purchasing from the internet but there are plenty of reliable packing materials websites out there and if you are lucky enough, their prices might be actually lower than if you were to buy them from a company of to rent them. You have nothing to lose if you try.•    Local stores can also be helpful for people who don’t trust buying from the internet. The internet shopping can be tricky sometimes because even if the prices of the packing materials are low, the shipment can be quite dear. If you don’t need many boxes and you are near a store that sells such materials then you should give it a try.•    Another thing which could save you money in this case is to ask the company or the store that sells you the boxes and other materials if they have moving kits. Some of them offer packing boxes in kits for up to 10 bedrooms. This is very useful when you don’t know exactly how many boxes you will need for your relocation. •    Before buying packing boxes go to your local groceries and see if you can get some cardboard boxes or crates from them. People don’t take this into consideration and they don’t even know how much money they could save only by doing this. Most of the groceries throw their boxes and crates away, but you could ask if they want to sell them for a lower price or you might be lucky enough to get them for free.
