House part 4: boxes

Spurred by the thought of being out of our house in 2 to 3 weeks, I went box hunting this afternoon. Now some people just go to u-haul or home depot or some other moving company to get 'moving boxes'. But not us, we are broke in redneck fashion! I went dumpster diving to find boxes today. Most people in the US are like us and find boxes in this particular method. I am going to tell you where, on a Sunday afternoon, I had the best luck finding boxes. I hit the mother load in two places:


1. My Obgyn's office- doctors offices are good because most restock on Friday night or Saturday.


2. The Dollar Store- They put out the majority of their inventory on Sunday when its slower than the rest of the week. I found an entire city dumpster filled to the top with nothing but collapsed boxes at the dollar store today.



Other good places to look are liquor store (good strong boxes- also makes your new neighbors wonder if you are alcoholics!), grocery stores and fast food or restaurants.



Happy hunting!
