Okay, I think I just discovered one of the coolest things ever. Thinking it is so cool highlights how strapped I have been for joy and happy moments of late.
Let me begin by giving some background. Almost a year ago my sister moved cross-country. Since I had read on some of my friends' blogs about the trouble they had finding boxes, I immediately began the hunt. A restaurant was moving in next to where I work, so I went to the restaurant (after seeing tons of boxes in the garbage) and asked them to hold all of their boxes for me.
Since another one of my friends is moving, I went to the restaurant again. He won't have as many boxes as he did when stocking a whole bar, so he gave me a call to tell me that the nearby grocery store had a ton in the foyer. I went over and asked if I could take the boxes. After a call, a customer service rep came to me and directed me to the customer service desk where I can order boxes. I gave them my name and asked for 25 small-to-medium boxes. Not only is it free, but I can pick up the boxes tomorrow. In all the stress of moving, how nice to just go to your local grocery and order the boxes. It is a win-win, they don't throw them away, and my friends can move in boxes that are free.
Long and short of this blog: Do I just leave in a Wonderland or do other grocery stores do this? I have never heard of it.

It's possible that you live in a wonderland... I've never heard of that either!! That is great news though. =]
al, maybe you could start a box collecting business.
