Go "cruising" on your golf cart up and down the streets where new construction is under way and people are moving in. That's what we did when we needed boxes to move from Duval to Bonita. You'll see garages stuffed with boxes that are empty or soon to be empty. I rang some doorbells and people were more than willing to let us take what we wanted. Saved them the hassle of cutting down and putting at the curb.
And since tomorrow is trash/recycle day I'm sure there are a lot of boxes sitting at the curb right now in the new areas of Bonita, Hemmingway, Amelia, Hadley and Duval. You'll be real excited when you score some of those expensive wardrobe boxes just sitting there for the taking!
I've found U-Haul has decent prices for packing/moving supplies. I've always bought my paper and bubble wrap from them. Also purchased their boxes when we were up north preparing to move south. You can check out what they have and prices on their web site.
Good luck with packing and your move. Sorry to see you leave The Villages.
