Any suggestions for businesses or residents who have a few used boxes ? We are not needing enough to move, but have a good amount of household items in good condition and not suitable to put in sacks, that we would like to donate to a good cause, as well as gently used clothing (which could go in sacks if necessary). Tried Publix with no luck, but would take any, hardware, liquor, or used boxes from a residential move. Also, usually give to Goodwill, but some chatter about them being not the idea in a charity. Any advice from others that are in the Villages like St. Vincent de Paul ? Other churches or others in need of some decent used things ? Can message me if you have some boxes to part with and I would come pick them up at from SS to 466A, don't know my way around the new Finney area that well. Thanks !

Walmart

When we moved here last year found we could get lots of boxes at Sams bake shop. A little small but price was right.

Is there a particular day or time you have to go to get a few from Walmart ? Do you ask at the customer service, or ? Thanks for any leads...

Where is Sam's bakery ? Sorry so naive, is that a bakery part of Sam's warehouse ? Or a an area bakery ? If it is a part of Sam's, where do you go to get the free boxes, we don't belong to the warehouse, are they outside ?

Sams Wholesale. We are member walk inside to the bakery and got lots of boxes. At least we did in Va not sure if it would work the same way here.

Have noticed walking around Walmart at various times carts loaded with boxes. Probably hit and miss.

Most Lowe’s, and I think Home Depot, sell boxes. They are available in different sizes and sturdiness. You will need a big roll of tape to tape the bottom when you unflatten them.

Spending a few bucks is easier than running around to get free ones.

I always have a stash of a few flattened new boxes in the garage so when I get in the mood to get rid of stuff, I am ready to go.
