Whether you’re going across town or across the country, moving is one of the most exciting adventures you can embark upon.

To help you do just that, we enlisted a handful of pros to share their best money-saving advice for your next big move.

Most everyone can agree that moving isn’t fun—in fact, some people absolutely dread it, so much so that even the best moving tips and moving checklist can’t make it better. But moving doesn’t have to be a horrible experience. Having a good attitude about moving can certainly help make the process better, but so can avoiding common moving pitfalls.

During my recent cross-country move, I discovered a moving hack that not only kept me on budget, it saved me hundreds of dollars. It was so simple, too.

That day, I received bundles of coupons to help me save money while I decorate my new home. Pretty great, right?
