What to Buy Before Move Out Week So You Are Not Scrambling

 

SERIES 1: MOVE OUT GUIDES

Helpful, practical content for end of semester stress, move out chaos, selling unwanted items, and staying organized before summer break.

Move out always feels far away until suddenly your room is chaos and you are packing your whole life with two tote bags and pure stress.

If you do one thing early, make it this. Get the basics before everyone else realizes at the exact same time.

What to grab first:

• Garbage bags for clothes, bedding, and soft stuff
• Duffle bags for heavy things and random overflow
• Boxes for shoes, kitchen stuff, and all the weird little things in your drawers
• Packing tape
• A marker or labels so you know what is where
• Cleaning supplies
• Paper towel
• Cleaning wipes
• All purpose spray
• Trash bags
• A broom or mini vacuum if you have one

Small but important:

• A bag for chargers and cords
• A folder for keys, papers, and anything important
• Snacks and water for move out day
• One overnight bag for the stuff you still need at the end and maybe a blow up mattress to use for the night before you move if you take apart your furniture 

The real move out hack is simple. Buy the basics early and deal with the stuff you do not want before the panic starts.

Roomeeo makes that part easier. If you already know you are not taking something home, post it early and save yourself the stress later.
