When my husband was still in the Navy, we moved constantly so we saved all the boxes from the products that we bought so that when we move again, we can still use the original boxes. Now that he is done, we are getting rid of all of them. I emptied our seller from those piles of boxes and store most of our unused stuff there.
Speaking of boxes, I remember the big shoe store in Ohio, they do not have wooden shelves for their display but they used their empty boxes to make shelves. It was pretty neat, too bad, I wasn't able to take a photo of it. Next time when we go there, I would try to take a shot so you can see.
We have the same pile of boxes! Every time we move there are cetain items that we need the specific boxes for! Come 2013 I will be pulling those boxes out.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know I am not alone Suzi hehehe.
DeleteOh, I always liked the search for new boxes. Liquor stores are great.

Come here Roger, we have so many!
DeleteHow nice to be finally through with moving. Boxes are great but sure take up space.
ReplyDeleteHopefully we don't have to move anymore.
DeleteYou must have a box room in your house.
ReplyDeleteWe do!
DeleteYou must be pleased to get rid of all those boxes and not to be moving all the time.
ReplyDeleteOh I am, at least now we can use our seller for some unused stuff and not the empty boxes.
DeleteI haven't moved in 28 years but have lots of empty boxed I've saved thinking they'll come in handy when I move. My daughter used some when she grew up and moved her things but I still have a lot of empty boxes in my attic. I can't decide if I should get rid of them or leave them. Eventually I'll either move or die, and they may come in handy. Can you tell I'm a pack rat. Carver, ABC Wednesday Team
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, same here.. We finally let go of them!
DeleteBoxes always have frequent use here. I wish i have big space to store them for future use. Good for you for having well here organized stuff!

Thanks and take care!
Oo nga Tita, I remember bumibili kami dati ng boxes lalagyan ng mga damit kasi ala kaming aparador lol.
DeleteThis was our situation few years back. We moved with our stuff new place once in 3 years.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice to think that we finally settled in for good?
DeleteBoxes are important especially when moving to a new place. Just quick visit here sis.
ReplyDeleteAgree, thanks for visiting sis.
DeleteWe still have 6 big boxes of stuff that came with us when we moved nearly three years ago. One day they may get sorted, but ...
ReplyDeleteWow, good luck on that Gerald.
DeleteHello Rose.
ReplyDeleteWe have relatives overseas to whom we're always sending stuff. Whenever we get a delivery at home, my wife usually breaks the box down & saves it for future use. Like Roger said, the liquor store boxes are good too, because they're usually a lot sturdier for shipping.
Nice post.
Thanks for sharing & visiting.

You have found use for all the empty boxes you accumulated all these years of commuting from place to place. Thanks for the post. God bless you all always.
