I had to help my girlfriends mom move when I had the flu and they were to cheap to buy enough boxxes so every one was illed overflowing and could not be stacked
or carried with any other box.

Every time I move I throw out or give away everything I am not totally in love with. The only problem is since last time I moved I got a huge comic and book collection(books are very heavy) about a million tools and a derilict 65 Fod I have towed to my last 2 moves.

Minimalism is your friend, wicker or even better plastic fake wicker furniture
a digital projector instead of a big screen all help.
