My little passion for moving containers
Get used packing materials at the same time that you get used boxes, and supplement them with your own soft furnishings. Towels, pillows, and blankets should be used as packing materials, not folded in a box. When your soft furnishings run out, plastic grocery bags are excellent padding. (They aren't eco friendly, but everyone has drifts of them anyway, so you may as well use what you have. ) Old newspapers are another classic choice.
