Many people would rather just buy the boxes, paper, and bubble wrap at a discounted price on Craigslist and get everything they need at once. This movement allows consumers to “rent out” reusable moving tubs. People rent them, fill them, and have them delivered to their new home. Another Alternative.

You can usually find them on Craigslist or even college classifieds, and it can save up to 60% of the original selling price. There are websites out there that will let you rent the book for a discounted price. Renting textbooks is just another way you can save money on textbooks.

Craigslist – a quick search in my area under musical instruments looking for keyboards showed them from $30 and up. We rented our son’s alto saxophone while he took lessons in high school. Check out your local school to see if they have a music program for the kids. Find A Used Instrument. Garage sales – I found a guitar for $5.00

You can also find home swapping opportunities on websites like Gumtree , Craigslist , Home Exchange , or Loquo. This is a great opportunity to live rent-free in another part of the country or across the world. These positions often come with attractive packages that include rent, health benefits and travel expenses.

You don’t need to drive cross country on a rented RV or else your trip will be super expensive. If not, go to a local thrift store or go online on eBay/Craigslist and get yourself one. Make another list of things you’ll most likely forget, such as bug spray, matches, garbage bags, toilet paper, etc. Borrow or buy a used tent.

Clothing and furniture are just a couple of the things you can buy on the Facebook marketplace , Craigslist , and OfferUp. For one-time projects, consider renting. At the time, we didn’t even know you could rent things like this from Home Depot and Lowe’s, but you totally can! EVERY time that I do this, I come out ahead.

Renting, not having super nice furniture or cars, having mismatched dishes and bedding. The rule was, if I could get $50 bucks or more for it, it was going on Craigslist. The day I realized that the house needed to go, was the day God spoke into my heart about what we needed to do next in our debt free journey. We sold EVERYTHING!
