I didn’t want to spend a fortune on new boxes either, so I dug around for some practical ideas. One thing that really helped me was this list I found about where to find free boxes for moving. It broke down a bunch of places to check out like grocery stores, liquor shops, and even online community groups. Honestly, I hit up a few grocery stores near my place, and they had plenty of clean, sturdy boxes from produce deliveries. Liquor stores are great too because their boxes are usually strong and the perfect size for bottles or heavier items. I also asked around on local Facebook groups and got several people offering boxes they didn’t need anymore. That saved me from making extra trips. A tip I learned is to avoid boxes with too many tears or stains, especially if you’re packing fragile stuff. Sometimes it’s worth grabbing fewer high-quality boxes than a bunch of flimsy ones. And don’t forget, using towels or clothes to cushion fragile items can make a big difference if the boxes aren’t perfect. Hope this helps—you might find a goldmine of boxes just by asking in the right spots!
