I am moving on Saturday and need to pack my shit tomorrow. I want to get some free boxes to do this. In the past I've always gone to liquor stores. Any other suggestions?

Starbucks is pretty good. Also, check with hardware stores.

Supermarkets are a cheap source of boxes and milk cartons. Beery & hard stuffy stores are good too.

I picked up all my moving boxes at Baskin Robbin's.

It's worth asking at book stores and any large libraries in the area. No guarantees though.
