Dr. Pomade Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I'm moving to a new place this weekend and I'm looking for boxes. Anyone have the hookup on them? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 How big? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Kroger has banana boxes all the time. If you go towards the end of the night at the 24 hour ones you can usually get a stocker to give you some. I used to give them out all the time for free. Just ask nicely. Banana boxes are very strong but they have a square in the middle cut out of them. Put a piece of other cardboard on there and it will be fine.

ladyhawke34 Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Or you can hit up the dairy guys at Krogers too and ask for the egg boxes. They've got holes in the ends for nice handles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 The egg boxes from Kroger's work great. Thats what we used when I moved a few years back. Party at John's new place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Man you should have spoke sooner. I just moved this past weekend into my first house and just got rid of a bunch of good sized boxes and paper boxes. I gave them to a co-worker that is moving this weekend and the rest went in the trash. Like others have said, hit up grocery stores. Banana boxes are great for moving because they are so heavy duty. I know at the little grocery store I worked at during college, we would always gladly give away our boxes. We got charged by the trash company for how much was in our box compactor, so you would be saving them money by taking them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Goto wal-mart and goto the household items section around midnight. Thats where you can find all the big boxes. I just moved and used wal mart boxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Shoulda posted this sooner. I got rid of probably 3 or 4 dozen boxes after finally getting done with unpacking from the FL move. No help 2 u now, I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted May 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 i can get alot from work how many do you need and what sizes Need to know by tonight I need about 20 boxes, the bigger the better. Essentially, I'm looking for the same kind of boxes that U-Haul charges you $2.00 a piece for (or whatever). Thanks to the rest of you guys for the advice - if something doesn't work out with whitealero, then I'll hit up Kroger and WalMart. Also, I would have posted this sooner, but I just recently decided to move. I know, characteristically impulsive on my part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped in at a Kroger earlier and they were very cool about giving me boxes, they just asked me to come in around 10pm (when the stocking happens). I'll probably do that tomorrow night. I'll stay in touch with you through PMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
