Moving in Shopping List

When first moving into a new house, you may find that a lot of the things you’ll need for the first week have been tossed, forgotten or misplaced. So, we’ve compiled a list of necessities and separated them into categories to check off. We suggest that you pack these items in a box that can be put in your car. Or else, make sure it is the last box put on the moving van so it can be found easily and brought into your new home right away.
