Try you local stores. The ones that don't recycle them (ex: Dollar General Local Grocery chains, etc) or a storage facility will sale them to you

Try storage places or moving companies. Most public storages will have them and the same should go with moving companies (at least-with our's that we are using on 8/1!). Also-maybe you can get them from work? If your work buys boxes of paper, they are a great size for stuff-not too big, not too small... Another good thing is that during the summer, a lot of people are moving...if you know someone else that is moving, perhaps you can split the cost or re-use boxes. That is what my mom did...she moved in April and split up her boxes between me and a friend of her's (who was eventually going to give them to me as well but ended up losing out on the new house, so her stuff is still boxed).
Good luck!!

Ask your local grocery store if they have any used boxes. Most will give them to you. If not try a UPS Store or office supply store. Hope this helps.

Try calling a local school, they may have some they would give you. Almost any company that rents moving trucks sells boxes. Most office supply stores also sell them.

Call a moving company for the tall clothing boxes, they come with bars for hanging your clothes, boxes from Sam's club or BJ's; bankers boxes could be bought at stationery stores, very easy to handle they have cut out slots for holding.

Look for a U-Haul store, as they sell used moving boxes.

Try large retailers like Target, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, or your local grocery store, they throw tons of boxes out everyday!

The UPS store is running a 50% off sale.

I used to work at taco bell and I used those boxes to move. Not the little ones you get your pizzas in (I say to smart *** husband) the big ones they ship the meat, cheese, lettuce and cups in. They are much easier to handle/ carry than the big ones if your moving on your own. and they fit easier in the back of a car or van.

Try grocery stores they want to get rid of them.
