Go Online to Buy &amp; Sell<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/fthb\/2014\/12\/cutting-expenses-hacks\/images\/2.gif\" alt=\"19 Hacks To Cut Costs After Moving Into Your New Home\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: www.reactiongifs.com\/gifs<\/div>\n<p>Try Craigslist for basic items like side tables and bookshelves before you hit up IKEA. You\u2019ll be surprised what people are giving up for free or cheap. Alternatively, you can make some extra buck by selling your old pieces that you can\u2019t quite find a place for in your new home.<\/p>\n<p>You can also make donations and itemize your return, which might help you qualify for a tax deduction.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Junk Is Junk<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/fthb\/2014\/12\/cutting-expenses-hacks\/images\/3.jpg\" alt=\"19 Hacks To Cut Costs After Moving Into Your New Home\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Janet Crum<\/div>\n<p>Okay, so maybe you\u2019ve had your listing for a rusted wheel you found in your uncle\u2019s barn a decade ago up on Craigslist for weeks with no bites. Don\u2019t pay for storage\u2014it\u2019s okay to accept the reality that some things you\u2019ve been hoarding at your apartment (or more likely, your parent\u2019s house) are just for the junkyard.<\/p>\n<h2>4. It\u2019s Okay to Cheap Out on Your \u201cStarter Supplies\u201d<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/fthb\/2014\/12\/cutting-expenses-hacks\/images\/4.jpg\" alt=\"19 Hacks To Cut Costs After Moving Into Your New Home\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Jasperdo<\/div>\n<p>A short stop at the drugstore for some Windex, Febreeze, and Lysol can quickly turn into wanting to stock your home with every possible cleaning supply for each room in your house. While the notion is good, your wallet won\u2019t necessarily appreciate it. Visit a dollar store for the supplies you need to get through the first few months.<\/p>\n<h2>5. The Power of Paint<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/fthb\/2014\/12\/cutting-expenses-hacks\/images\/5.gif\" alt=\"19 Hacks To Cut Costs After Moving Into Your New Home\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: alboardman.tumblr.com.gif<\/div>\n<p>Once-loved stuff can be re-loved stuff, and paint isn\u2019t just for the walls. While slapping on a few coats to your new walls will make a world of difference, you can also breathe new life into old furniture.<\/p>\n<h2>6. &#8230;But If You Don\u2019t Like Watching Paint Dry<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/fthb\/2014\/12\/cutting-expenses-hacks\/images\/6.jpg\" alt=\"19 Hacks To Cut Costs After Moving Into Your New Home\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Eric Huntley<\/div>\n<p>Maybe painting isn\u2019t your thing. But you don\u2019t have to be the next Martha Stewart to jazz up an old bookshelf or create cool photo boards with just a few sheets of wallpaper. Not only are you saving money but you\u2019ll also earn bragging rights for DIY diligence.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Not Everything\u2019s Going to Match<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/fthb\/2014\/12\/cutting-expenses-hacks\/images\/7.jpg\" alt=\"19 Hacks To Cut Costs After Moving Into Your New Home\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Sarah N<\/div>\n<p>Similar to the points made above, with the marriage of old and new things after you move, your amazingly comfortable but totally outdated couch might just not work anymore. Be open to taking on a reupholstery project, or just add some throw pillows with accent colors found elsewhere in the room (to tie it together) rather than buying a whole new piece.<\/p>\n<h2>8. New Hardware &gt; New Cabinets<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/fthb\/2014\/12\/cutting-expenses-hacks\/images\/8.jpg\" alt=\"19 Hacks To Cut Costs After Moving Into Your New Home\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Pete Carpenter<\/div>\n<p>Swapping <a href=\"http:\/\/www.todayshomeowner.com\/video\/how-to-replace-the-hardware-on-your-kitchen-cabinets\/\">knobs, pulls, and handles<\/a> on kitchen and bathroom cabinets (and drawers!) are easy fixes and create an updated look that\u2019s way, way cheaper than buying brand new cabinets.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Swap Out Old Bulbs<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/fthb\/2014\/12\/cutting-expenses-hacks\/images\/9.jpg\" alt=\"19 Hacks To Cut Costs After Moving Into Your New Home\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user nhuisman<\/div>\n<p>All of the light bulbs that came with your new home are probably totally functional\u2014but that doesn\u2019t mean that they\u2019re not costing you money. Change light bulbs to energy-efficient CFL or LED ones to save on your electric bill. They also tend to have much longer lives than normal incandescent bulbs.<\/p>\n<h2>10. Get a Grip on Your Power Strip<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/fthb\/2014\/12\/cutting-expenses-hacks\/images\/10.jpg\" alt=\"19 Hacks To Cut Costs After Moving Into Your New Home\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user villagelinca<\/div>\n<p>Yet another way to save on your electric bill\u008d\u2014a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0006PUDQK\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0006PUDQK&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=thesimpledo0c-20\">smart power strip<\/a>. It cuts power to all devices on the strip when you power the first thing that\u2019s connected down. So at your desk, for example, powering down your computer would also turn off your monitor, printer, scanner, etc.<\/p>\n<h2>11. Get With the Times and Pay Online (If You Aren\u2019t Already)<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/fthb\/2014\/12\/cutting-expenses-hacks\/images\/11.jpg\" alt=\"19 Hacks To Cut Costs After Moving Into Your New Home\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Eole Wind<\/div>\n<p>You\u2019re probably already enrolled in online bill pay, but if you\u2019re not, moving to a new home and changing your address is a great time to do so. You\u2019ll cut costs on stamps, envelopes, and paper checks, you\u2019ll do good for the environment, and you\u2019ll be able to keep a close watch on your account activity. It\u2019s a win-win-win.<\/p>\n<h2>12. Give the Loo a Quick Check<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/fthb\/2014\/12\/cutting-expenses-hacks\/images\/12.gif\" alt=\"19 Hacks To Cut Costs After Moving Into Your New Home\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: www.gifbay.com\/gif<\/div>\n<p>This is more along the lines of maintenance, but there are some important things you want to check off your list upon move-in when it comes to repairs, and an important one is checking for running toilets (and sinks, too). All that dripping water is money dripping out of your wallet.<br \/>\nMany sites offer <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apartmenttherapy.com\/how-to-fix-a-running-toilet-common-causes-easy-diy-fixes-200209\">easy DIY fixes<\/a> for leaks.<\/p>\n<h2>13. Hang \u2018Em Up to Dry<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/fthb\/2014\/12\/cutting-expenses-hacks\/images\/13.jpg\" alt=\"19 Hacks To Cut Costs After Moving Into Your New Home\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user tracitodd<\/div>\n<p>We\u2019re not asking you to revert to ancient times and air dry all of your clothes\u2014but if you think of it on a larger scope, you\u2019ll be saving money and participating in more environmentally-friendly practices. Just hanging up 20 percent of your clothes on a line or drying rack each time saves you 20 percent more energy.<\/p>\n<h2>14. Is Your Home Properly Insulated?<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/fthb\/2014\/12\/cutting-expenses-hacks\/images\/14.jpg\" alt=\"19 Hacks To Cut Costs After Moving Into Your New Home\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Jack Amick<\/div>\n<p>Many homes don\u2019t have adequate insulation, so one of the first things you should do upon moving in is to find out if your home needs some upgrades. Check your attic, fireplace, outer walls, windows, and doors for air leaks\u2014they can waste a lot of energy and increase your utility costs. So <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oldhouseonline.com\/7-insulation-tips\/\">seal and insulate<\/a> to keep toasty (and to keep out pollen and noise)!<\/p>\n<h2>15. Find Out What Lies Beneath<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/fthb\/2014\/12\/cutting-expenses-hacks\/images\/15.gif\" alt=\"19 Hacks To Cut Costs After Moving Into Your New Home\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: gifs.tastefullyoffensive.com.gif<\/div>\n<p>It might sound like something you just see on HGTV, but especially if you\u2019re buying an older home, it\u2019s worth it to do some floor investigating. Before ordering a truckload of hardwood floor planks, peek under the corners of old carpets to see if there\u2019s original wood underneath. If there is, and it can be salvaged, buff those floors and embrace the old charm instead of buying brand new.<\/p>\n<h2>16. Start a Veggie Garden<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/fthb\/2014\/12\/cutting-expenses-hacks\/images\/16.jpg\" alt=\"19 Hacks To Cut Costs After Moving Into Your New Home\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Dasha Gaian<\/div>\n<p>There\u2019s obviously an initial cost in this for the soil, seeds, and supplies, but if <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diynetwork.com\/how-to-grow-vegetables-and-fruits\/package\/index.html\">done with diligence<\/a> it will provide you some delicious, low-cost meals. And the best part? You grew them yourself!<\/p>\n<h2>17. Check Out Your Community Calendar<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/fthb\/2014\/12\/cutting-expenses-hacks\/images\/17.jpg\" alt=\"19 Hacks To Cut Costs After Moving Into Your New Home\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Bill Dickinson<\/div>\n<p>Many people often forget that the city or town in which they live probably has it\u2019s own website with a calendar of events. Lots of these events could include free food and activities that can save you a chunk of change on all that take-out food you\u2019ll want to order the first few weeks. Community events also give you a chance to meet your neighbors.<\/p>\n<h2>18. Check Out Your Neighborhood\u2019s Parks and Recs Board<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/fthb\/2014\/12\/cutting-expenses-hacks\/images\/18.gif\" alt=\"19 Hacks To Cut Costs After Moving Into Your New Home\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: giphy.gif<\/div>\n<p>Sure, there\u2019s probably an awesome movie theater and shopping center just waiting for you to uncontrollably stress-spend after the move. But there\u2019s no better stress-reliever than the great outdoors (except maybe free things, which this totally is). Seek out local basketball and tennis courts, disc golf courses, and trails for a whole lot of free entertainment.<\/p>\n<h2>19. Buy a Crockpot<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/fthb\/2014\/12\/cutting-expenses-hacks\/images\/19.jpg\" alt=\"19 Hacks To Cut Costs After Moving Into Your New Home\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Rachel<\/div>\n<p>Maybe demanding you to go out and spend money on new things is the opposite of what this post is trying to accomplish, but investing in a crockpot will save you both time and money. After moving, you\u2019re not going to want to whip up intricate meals, so instead throw some ingredients in a crockpot before work and you\u2019ll have a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.familyfreshmeals.com\/2014\/08\/30-easy-crockpot-recipes.html\">delicious meal<\/a> waiting for you when you get home.<\/p>\n<h2>20. Prioritize Your Projects<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/fthb\/2014\/12\/cutting-expenses-hacks\/images\/20.jpg\" alt=\"19 Hacks To Cut Costs After Moving Into Your New Home\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user mt23<\/div>\n<p>Simply staying organized can save you money when it comes to buying new things, remodeling, and repairing. It&#8217;s hard to resist wanting to make your house feel like your home as fast as possible, but it&#8217;s crucial to set these goals alongside a budget.<\/p>\n<p>Keep a list of things you want to do for each room and for the house overall, and find out potential costs for each improvement. Maybe this month&#8217;s budget will cover a ceiling fan for your bedroom, but that shiny refrigerator you&#8217;ve been eyeing might just have to wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
