1. Supermarkets A quick trip to your local Trader Joe’s, Food Emporium or Whole Foods should prove fruitful for frugal movers.
2. Liquor Stores Boxes that used to hold wine are perfect for packing up glasses and other kitchen supplies as well as durable enough for books.
3. Craigslist The world’s source for everything, you can generally find people hoping to part with their used moving supplies if you can get over the creepiness factor.
4. U-Haul U-Haul allows people to connect on their order to find people who no longer need their old boxes.
5. Your Building If you’re moving around the end of the month (like most New Yorkers), its likely that the basement of your building will be a treasure trove of boxes before recycling day. Just make sure to watch out for bugs.
If all else fails, you can always pay for boxes from your local moving company or a local pack and ship. Happy Moving!
