Boxes
Kinds of boxes you need to have
- Shallow-small (about 8×12–find at Aldi’s)
- Shallow–large (about 18” x 2 1/2 feet–6 inches deep) Sams or Aldi’s
- Medium–for flat stuff–heavy–about 12 x 12 inches
- Large–banana boxes, apple boxes
- Extra large–for lightweight stuff–moving type boxes
Places to find boxes:
- People leave out when recycling-you can find a variety of moving boxes
- Aldi’s–sometimes you can score nice uniform boxes–look in the freezer section–they put the boxes in wire wagons
- Also, you can take the banana boxes there–do a little rearranging of the fruit
- I always take advantage of my shopping at Aldi’s
- Sam’s club–seems like they have a variety of larger boxes
