    I really don't want to spend any money on getting more either...........Where would you be able to get boxes from?

    TIA

    You could try the grocery store, the local liquor store (Great boxes there) or from someone's place of employment. I am in the process of moving as well and have acquired the boxes that the paper for the printers and copy machine come in.

    Office supply stores sometimes have paper ream boxes that are incredibly strong, I would also hit up the liquor stores and grocery stores. See if Walmart or whatever have some, call the store manager.

    Any large office building. . . . . .

    ask people who work in various places to save boxes for you. I work at a hospital and we save them for people all the time. Other wise they get broken down and bundled for recycling.

    Sounds good. I got my boxes from the liquor store and from an office supply place as well. No use paying for boxes that someone else can give you for free. Plus it's recycling!

    Before Matthew took this job farming, he worked for Allied Moving, well, we stockpiled a bunch of moving boxes, but evidently not enough for all of our stuff, and to think how much I have gotten rid of here lately........

    Our local Wally World had tons of boxes for the taking and they even helped me load them up. They were already broken down so I could really pack em into my truck.

    I work at a bank and do all of the ordering of supplies, well, we always are saving boxes for people! Next time you go to your bank, or call them, ask about it, I'm sure that they will save them for you!
