We (two people) are moving from the west coast USA to the east coast soon. I'm looking for ideas on how to do this as cheaply as possible. Renting a uhaul looks like about $5k before gas costs. Seems like a lot. Anyone have creative ideas?

Seconding the "pods" type thing for fairly cheap and for the bonus points of not having to drive it yourself.
Just a warning from my experience: be careful about how efficiently you load it. When I did that I got a call a couple days later that they were over the weight limit (the forklift tipped over trying to load it onto the semi) and I was a few states away by then. Had to play a lot of phone tag with the company to hire moving contractors to unload some stuff and pack it into an extra pod, they did a horrible job causing some of my furniture to get damaged during the move.
