We are preparing to move 200 miles away in a few weeks, but worried about being strapped with all the expenses. We just had to pay rent on our current house, we have to place down deposit, pet deposit, and first month’s rent on the new place, new utility deposits, food, cleaning supplies, etc., not to mention gas being so high these days.

Any money saving tips would be greatly appreciated.
