my family bought boxes froma guy on craigs list for 25 dollars, ther was like 200 boxes!!!
check craigslist.com
people are always giving away free boxes
look in free section for your city
Seriously, go by any warehouse that gets UPS deliveries regularly, and raid their cardboard dumpster.
Let your grocery store know you want them and they will save you some!
local stores would be the best. New ones are expensive
Get them for free from Liquor Stores (sometimes bars), Grocery Stores, and from people who moved into the area your moving out of. Free for the asking usually ;)
Go to the liquor store and ask them for the boxes the toss out when a shipment comes in...you can also do this in the grocery store (as the produce guy for boxes)...I've done both and gotten plenty of free boxes...
go to restraunts and ask them if they have any or typically there is a cardboard dumpster behind retail stores that you could use
your local grocery store should be able to give a lot for free. ask the manager for them. they have to pay to have them hauled away - so the less they have on hand, the less the have to pay outta pocker.
Liquor stores give them away. Grocery stores, too.
Ask.
Go to the grocery store, Wal-mart, or any local store and ask. Thay are always more than happy to give them to you. I just moved a few months ago and got all my boxes that way.
you can ask any store and ask for their boxes that they are goign to throw away and i know that they will give them to you of u can go behind the store and look for some if u live some were in the texas area then go ask walmart of heb for their boxes and they will be happy to give them to you how do i know because it happines alot
go to markets and ask for some. moving companies usuall have big ones at a good price
Go to your local store such as Walgreens, CVS, grocery store in your area and ask if they have any. Find out when they get shipments so you can pick up boxes than day, otherwise they usually crush them. Make few trips depending on how many you will need. This will cost you $0. Good luck with moving.
Go to the grocery store early and ask the vendors(person who is stocking but does not work there) and ask them. They are usually very nice and will help you out.
craigslist.com under the heading of FREE.
when we moved, we looked in those dumsters that are specially for cardbaord. i got in and got all the boxes that we could use. there were a lot and since the dumpster was just for cardboard, there was no mess.
Craigslist is the best for getting free moving boxes! If you live in an apartment, you can also get free moving boxes by searching in the trash room in your building before the weekly trash pick-up. You can also call local stores and ask them when their weekly shipment is, and whether they will hold some boxes for you after they unpack their shipment. My husband and I had good luck with all of these things and we have moved a few times! Good luck!
The most inexpensive way is to ask your family, friends and neighbors for any box that they have and don't need. Just remember, the boxes should be clean.
Are you trying to move inexpensively or get inexpensive boxes? Your syntax is kinda whacky.
If you need boxes, go to grocery and liquor stores.
Try some "Big Box" stores like Home Depot or Sams, sometimes they will just give you some old boxes if you ask one of the associates nicely. Also try warehouses.
call STORES THAT UNLOAD LOTS OF BOXES OF MERCHANDISE...MOST WILL GIVE YOU A DAY TO PICK UP FROM THEM...GROCERIES STORES HAVE LOTS OF SIZES BUT USUALLY THE TOPS ARE GONE. Liquor STORES ARE BETTER. their BOXES ARE DESIGNED TO HOLD GLASS AND LOTS OF WEIGHT AND THEY OFTEN ONLY OPEN THREE SIDES OF THE TOP.
Go ask grocery & liquor stores for some, they just throw them out and will usually give them to you free!
good luck!
i moved not that long ago & found that Mcdonald's french fry boxes were about the best. they were'nt to big , but big enough to hold a fair amount of stuff. dont forget that once you've packed them you still have to carry them from point A to B. i also found the french fry boxes really sturdy.
i also liked the liqure store boxes because they were quite sturdy as well as being a smaller box, which was great for packing my books. being books can get quite heavy , & i had enough of them that the smaller boxes were perfect.
