You may be trying to determine how much of your food you can or should pack up and haul to your new residence. While no one wants to waste food, you should know a few things when it comes time to pack food for moving. Let&#8217;s dig in\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-top-tips-on-how-to-move-food\"><strong>Top Tips on How to Move Food<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the best strategies for moving food:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#1: Eat as much as you can before the move.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Go ahead and have a cleaning-out-the-freezer dinner party. The less you have to transport, the easier it will be for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#2: Pack only food items you think will travel safely.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you transport frozen or refrigerated food a long distance, you may risk food safety issues unless you have the proper storage equipment. If there&#8217;s any question about food safety, it&#8217;s better to err on the side of caution. One option is to hire a refrigerated truck for the transport if you have large quantities of frozen or refrigerated food that you don&#8217;t want to lose. They can make your task to pack a fridge for moving much easier and safer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#3: Avoid moving canned goods\u2014they weigh a lot!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because canned goods are heavy, they can add quite a bit to your moving expenses if your rate is based on weight. Further, canned goods are cheap, so it will likely cost you more to move them than the food is worth. A better plan is to donate canned goods to a local shelter or soup kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind\u2014these tips are for people who want to learn how to pack up their own food for a move. If you are using a moving company, check with your coordinator about their policy for transporting food. In some areas, laws prohibit companies from moving perishable goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more tips on moving food, strategies to pack a fridge for moving, and other best practices for your upcoming relocation, reach out to the friendly experts at <a href=\"\/contact-us\">Nilson Van and Storage<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is moving food a good idea for your upcoming relocation?
