We have guinea pigs, so the definition of “good box” has changed to something that is just the right size and shape to be made into a hidey.
As soon as we put in the new box, the girls start destroying it, so we need a constant supply.
I kept all the good boxes i used to move, for eight years. Finally thought I obviously don’t need these taking up space, and trashed them.
Two months later I had to move.
Keep yo boxes fam.
I need a good box at least 5-6 times a year. The pile consists of one box of each size category and there are no duplicates allowed. They are also efficiently stacked inside each other like those matryoshka dolls.
Genuinely curious, what are you doing that needs a regular supply of good boxes?
Professional boxer.
Can I hazard the guess that you play the NYT mini crossword?
Otherwise that’s a funny coincidence
Unless they bury you in those good boxes
I would unironically be honored if someone left me their collection of high quality cardboard or cardboard-adjacent boxes
My brother and his wife visited over the weekend so we did some major cleaning and I had to break down and throw into the recycling bin several perfectly useable moving boxes that have been sitting around for a year “in case I needed boxes”. Then I learned when they arrived that they were moving to a new place soon and could’ve used the ones I threw out.
That’s some “Gift of the Magi”-level stuff right there. “Oh dang, I threw away a bunch of boxes yesterday!” “Oh no, we were going to help you clean your house!”
Everyone has that one moment when they realize just how expensive a good box is if you need to go out and actually buy one with money.
Too true, got a collection of good moving boxes in the shed after a house move. Slowly using them as painting floor though.
