Board 8 > What's the cheapest way to get moving boxes?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'll admit I'm inexperienced, but these online prices seem...too high.

Go to a grocery store and ask for the leftover banana boxes.
---

go to the recycling center and dig in
---

tons of stores will give you boxes if you ask, saves them the effort of breaking them down and tossing them

I once moved with tons of liquor store boxes in college, made me look legit
---

Yeah, just go to any place that uses cardboard boxes and they'll usually let you have them, like Home Depot.
---

Liquor stores give them away free

my childhood neighborhood grocery store has the front wall piled with their empty boxes up for grabs for any takers or just for taking home your groceries even

easy movings
---

I had to time it right but a local food lion gave me as many as I wanted
---

push em down a hill, but they won't stay moving for long
---

as others have said already, the cheapest price is free. and the way to get them is to just go get them.
---

liquor stores are definitely good. you could also swing by retail stores in the morning on weekdays and ask if they have any to spare. food banks always have spares
---

My local stores would often just leave them in the back of the store for anyone to grab for free. Not in the trash or recycling or anything, just there, on the side, waiting for people to grab them.
---

Worth checking out your community's FB page, mine always has people trying to get rid of them.
---

Grocery stores are good. When I moved last year I got a nice big box from a shoe store

Came to say this. They love it too since they don't have to deal with them.

people don't know what Food Lion is?
---

---

People who just moved, via Craigslist or something.
---

yeah i've been trying to figure out what food lion was a typo for this whole time
---

---

Oh I didn't know food lion was regional, whoops.
---

I remember going to a Food Lion when I visited relatives on the east coast. I did like the name.
---

Food Lion LLC is a grocery store company headquartered in Salisbury, North Carolina, that operates 1,029 supermarkets in 10 states of the Southeastern United States under the Food Lion banner.

I really liked my head cannon that involved food being distribute by actual lions.

This is disappointing.

yeah I never heard of it until I visited Maryland
