Good Luck!!!
Try Craigslist. We got a TON of Uhaul moving boxes off of someone that were in perfect shape. We then turned around and listed them on Craigslist and helped a family move. The boxes can be used 4-5 time or so they say on them (I'd guess a lot more than that if they aren't beat up).

It's WAY cheaper than buying them, you just need to be quick to email/call/pick up.

Oh that's a great idea...except the bed bug epidemic in NY!!! My best friend gave me 25 boxes so far I'll take boxes from work too.
