My apartment has become a storage area for wayward boxes. The other day I came home from Poynter only to find that David had stacked the boxes in front of the door, so that, when I opened it I was greeted by a WALL no, a MOUNTAIN of boxes. My last day here is June 3, which, sadly enough, is not all that far away... we really should start packing now if we want to get it done anytime before we are supposed to leave.
The good news? So far, we have yet to buy a single box, Dave and I are stealing them from anyhere we can find them. Also, it's hard to look for a place to live in Maine when you both are still living in Florida. Dave is going up in May to search for us... I don't have any time to do that.
Know of any places I can find good, free boxes?

1) Girl Scouts. Seriously. Find your closest Girl Scout Troop or Council office and ask if they have any cases left from Girl Scout cookies. They're perfectly sized for moving small but heavy things like books and dishes and they have tons of them.
2) Not free, but awesome-Staples sells file boxes, ~7 for $7. They're basically legal size x letter size, have handles and lids. They come in flats, and then you pop them together. When you're moved, unfold them and toss them out.
Try also asking around grocery stores or places like Staples or Wal-Mart to see if they have any shipping boxes lying around. But I'd hit the Girl Scouts up first.
Good idea. I never thought of asking the girl scouts...
