We didn’t buy boxes

Moving boxSo we’re moving this week. So we need boxes. A boatload of boxes.

But we resisted the temptation to buy them from the UPS store this afternoon. Why? Because there are plenty of boxes on this Earth already.

So we used a couple my mom brought us from her hospital. We got creative with some other packing maneuvers, made extra space by consolidating some boxes we already had, and mom’s bringing a heck of a lot more boxes tomorrow.

Why buy new, when we can reuse?

    Found out afterward that Staples has a policy of not giving out their old boxes because they sell boxes in the store. Well that’s not very environmentally friendly.
