Having moved many many times in my life I can tell you that the best thing to do is to go to the grocery store or even to walmart and talk to customer service and ask if they can save you some boxes. If you go to the grocery store go back to produce or the dairy department and ask for some boxes. If you have some money to spend then you may want to purchase some plastic bins which are good for storage and keeping things safe. Special moving boxes costs money thats why I went to Walmart and the grocery stores because they will give you the boxes for free.

I actually stopped by one of the places that does big corporate moves, (Either an Allied Movers or Corrigan) to inquire about buying a few boxes from them.
Since it was only a few, they gave me nice, new, boxes for free, along with some packaging paper, and bubble wrap.
I guess in never hurts to ask.

Screw the food stores.
Go talk the the shift manager of McDonalds or BK, or any one of those stores, They make empty fry boxes like 6 pershift. And those boxes will not be perferated on the side for easy breakage.

Try asking at liquor stores. They have tons of boxes that are sturdy. And the boxes aren't too big so they don't get too heavy, and they're easy to fit into tight corners of trunks or moving vans.

Go in the mornings and get produce boxes or try to get some from stores in the area.
Good Luck

Grocery stores are usually a good place. There's a local candy shop I got them from.. it's a candy store that makes caramel apples. The apple boxes are great.

I got mine from a liquor store. The boxes are perfect sizes for many things, including books and all sorts of odds and ends.
Won't do for big things like clothes and such.

The liquor stores around here always have a bunch stacked up outside. Some grocery stores put them out, too, but they usually flatten them so you will have to tape them back into shape.
