Evaluate What You Have
Make a list of your perishables, frozen meals, and canned food. Cans are easy to transport but are also heavy. If your freezer is full of frozen food, think about possible meals you can eat instead of throwing out the food. Try to give your perishable food to friends or family members if you know you can’t eat it in time. Check expiration dates and if food is expired or old, throw it out.
Donate Non-Perishables
If you don’t want to bring food with you, you can donate it to a local shelter or food bank. Pasta, rice, and canned goods are always needed and accepted by shelters, and the food will help others in need. Box up your food or contact a local food bank to check if they’ll pick it up from your home. Getting rid of non-perishables by giving them to a local shelter is a win-win for everyone.
Prepare Food for Moving
Keep a few snacks, bottles of water, and sandwiches close by on moving day. Having to stop in the middle of packing up to grab a fast-food lunch or dinner can make your day extend longer than you would like, and having quick snacks to much on when you’re hungry will be welcome when you’re starving.
