Moving can get expensive, but you can find plenty of free boxes if you know where to look. Start by saving your delivery boxes and asking friends to do the same on your behalf. You can also check Facebook Marketplace or other local exchanges for boxes from others who have recently moved. Still in need? Call nearby big-box stores, grocery stores, and even your local hospital or doctor’s office to pick up sturdy boxes for free.
