Moving in NYC

When I changed apartments from Astoria, Queens to Williamsburg, Brooklyn I had absolutely no money to play with.

The first thing I did was collect one free AMNY and Metro News newspaper a day for two months.  I got a lot of free packing paper this way!  I wrapped all my glassware and dishes with them and it worked perfectly.

Next I searched Craigslist.org for “Moving Boxes” and found a whole bunch for free from someone who just moved.  They held up pretty well.

After bribing my friends to help me with beer and pizza, I only really had to pay for tape and the UHaul truck.  Not bad!

    I just have to post about this, but this reminded me of the just released news with Craigslist’s CEO demanding for an apology from the AG of South Carolina. Always something new with Craigslist and things in the news.
