How to Get Rid of 6 Hard-to-Sell Things
Freecycle: When stuff doesn’t sell or isn’t handy to donate, Freecycle is your friend. Post your item on the site — I always add the disclaimer that I won’t deliver it — and you’ll often find someone will gratefully adopt your item.

How to Save Money When Moving on a Tight Budget
Packing material
You will definitely need boxes for packing your goods securely and they are a necessity in moving. However, boxes provided by professional moving companies can be very expensive. Consider looking for these boxes from alternative sources to cut down on costs when operating on a tight budget.
Collect boxes from the office that can fit some of the goods or check at your local grocery for even bigger ones. You can also ask friends to share some if they have, and even ask the kids to get some from their school. Liquor stores are another good source for boxes or the Freecycle and Craigslist.

3. Use paint in creative ways
When working with a tight budget, it’s a good idea to colour match designer paints. You can often find the tester pots on Gumtree or Freecycle.
You don’t even have to paint an entire room to make a drastic change, especially as this can be quite a big job.

“Good-quality unwanted items can be taken to a local charity shop or furniture recycling projects, which are starting to open again. You can also post them on internet sites such as Freecycle or Gumtree.”
Freecycle: Through this site, you can offer free items to your neighbors. The motto is to reduce waste by helping others share and reuse items.
