Do any of you have extra PC boxes lying about? They are the PERFECT moving boxes, and I need as many as I can get my hands on! I would be glad to come to wherever you are and pick them up! TIA!

Anyone???!!!!
 
Brandie,The Furry Guy will be in New Haven on Saturday for a graduation party. I'm pretty sure it's at a church not too awfully far from Anne. (I have a show in the opposite direction, so I won't be there.) I'll ask him in the morning if he minds taking a couple of boxes with him. I've got 2 of the #4 boxes sitting beside me as we speak. We've probably got more around here, too. I can't imagine it will be a problem. I'll give you a call in the morning either way.
 
Brandie if you cant get more PC boxes Wendys fry boxes are perfect also. I am sure you could call them and ask if they have any they can give you.
 
I'm sorry I don't have any. I had a lot about a month ago, but we burned them.
 
Sorry I don't have anymore. I gave the ones I had to my recruiter who just moved. I'll let you know if I come across any though. Good luck!

Rae-

I won't be in town on Saturday, as we are going apartment shopping in Indy! Whee!! Anyhow, Anne is out of town, so if you would like my address, I'd be more than happy to provide it. I'm about twenty minutes from New Haven, though. We are leaving around 9 a.m., and we'll be returning late, late, late. Just give me a jingle.

Anyone else? My parents own several convenience store, but many of their boxes are topless (stripper star, anyone?). I'd like boxes with tops. I bought a few at Lowe's tonight, but I'd like the freebies when possible! :D
 
Brandie, sending The Furry Guy out to find an address in the big city of Fort Wayne isn't a good idea. (And, for those who are laughing out there, I hear you. I realize that it isn't that big, but, compared to our little blip on the map, it might as well be NYC.)Maybe we could meet up sometime in the next couple of weeks. I could easily head that way a week from Sunday (June 24).
 
go to the grocery store and get egg boxes, or go to walmart before they break them down, just ask they'll give em to ya
 
When we moved here from Florida, my husband went in to the grocery stores when the 3rd shift started & asked them to hold some boxes for him. He went in around 7 the next morning to get them. If you go in early, you may catch some before they break them up. They are pretty good boxes--some, like those for paper towels & such are really big too.

Thanks for all the suggestions! We did buy a few moving boxes at Lowe's, but I'd like to avoid to much purchsing of things that can easily be gotten for free!
