When your child moves out of the house to get their own place or to go to college, you likely are breathing a sigh of relief as well as holding onto memories of years past. When helping your child move out, it is important to try to save money on furniture as well as movers. If you do your homework, you can move your child to a place of their own without breaking the bank.

1. How to Save Money on Furniture When Your Kids Move Out
When your children are ready to move out of your house, you will probably be filled with
a lot of mixed emotions, and your wallet might suffer a bit too. There are ways that you
can make sure your child has great furniture without having to spend a fortune, so before
you head out to your local furniture store, consider these ideas first.
Craigslist and Bartering Sites
You can find great used furniture on Craigslist and many of the different bartering
websites. Much of this furniture is barely used, and can be very cheap, or in some cases,
it may be free. Many times, people who are moving want to shed excess furniture that
will not fit in their new house or apartment. This is your chance to get great deals on
furniture your kids will love for their new place. You will be able to find couches, dining
room sets, end tables, and even used televisions for a fraction of what you might
normally pay at a new furniture store. One thing to consider is that you will have to move
the furniture yourself, so you may want to consider arranging this through your moving
company so you don't have to do the heavy lifting yourself.
Consider Gifting Your Own Furniture
Are you ready for a new couch or bed in your own home? This is the perfect opportunity
to start shopping for deals on your own furniture. You can give your child the furniture
he or she grew up with, giving you the chance to remodel your own home. Your moving
company can move your old furniture to your child's new apartment, leaving you plenty
of room for your new home furnishings, and you will not have to pay to furnish both
homes.
Shop for Deals Throughout the Year
There are certain times of year that are better than others to buy furniture. Black Friday,
the day after Thanksgiving, is good for more than just Christmas presents. You can find
great deals on furniture, and you can store everything in your basement or garage until
your child is ready to move out. January is the best time of year to buy bedding, towels,
and even refrigerators and chest freezers, so take this into consideration as you prepare
for your child to move out. When you buy everything throughout the year, you can have
everything ready for your movers to move from just one location, which will save you
money on moving costs as well.
Flea Markets and Yard Sales
The summer months are great for yard sales, garage sales, estate sales, and flea markets.
You can find both new and used furniture for cheap at any of these sales. Contact your
movers ahead of time so you can get these items delivered to your child's new home as
soon as your purchases are completed.

2. As you prepare to move your child on the next step towards adulthood, make sure that
you find the best possible deals on furniture. This first move will be emotional for both of
you, however it shouldn't be emotional for your bank account too.
