Boxes

Howdy, I am in need of some boxes. After many failed attempts to nab some from craigslist, I figured I'd just resort my local community for advice before I shell out dough to U-haul (albeit, they are not that pricey - would be cool to get them from a friend, neighbor, or local establishment). Besides wholesalers and liquor store folk, where do you suggest that I can procure some sturdy boxes in the area? :)

I tried the moving tag but it seemed to only bring up apartment-related searching.
Sorry if this is a duplicate post of any kind.

When I asked this question here a few months ago, someone was kind enough to mention that Monday evening is when the businesses in Davis Square put out their recycling for Tuesday morning pickup. You can find a lot of boxes sitting on the sidewalk on Monday evening (and not just in front of the places that sell liquor).

I also had luck with freecycle and the "free" section of Craigslist.

Also, keep in mind that UHaul will buy back any boxes that you buy but don't end up using. I took advantage of that when it turned out that the boxes I had bought from them were too big.
