our storage unit place had a little debbie snack truck that would throw it's boxes in their dumpster every tuesday afternoon, and they were always clean and rigid and good boxes. this was good info for many moves.

I don't think it matters "what kind of box", you just need to find a place near you that doesn't want them.

i've bought like, 6 boxes in my life. there is no BIFL cardboard box. just get some gently used boxes and tape em up real good.

Yeah, definitely not expecting lifetime usage, but sturdy enough to actually make it to my new apartment would be great. I didn't think about the corner markets that really push the volume on snacks, but those do have some nice sturdy boxes.

yeah, a box that had chips in it has had no wear and tear.

you just need a tape gun and some packing tape. a reinforced bottom with tape is always smart, and way cheaper to do than buy a 12$ box.

good luck with your move!
