One bit of advice: get identical boxes so they will stack uniformly, like shipping containers.
You can pack a lot with the boxes that the prepared salads come in, and if you happen to hit when they're restocking you can get a stack of them folded flat.

Egg boxes from grocery stores are good for moving. Go to a few stores and ask. The first time you talk with the person who stocks the eggs they will tell you the best time to stop by to get them every day (if there is a best time; sometimes there is and sometimes there is not). The stock person may even start keeping the boxes set aside for you if you keep coming back at the same time every day.
I once got a dozen boxes in a single visit; usually I would only get 2 or 3. But if you go back every day for a week, that adds up.

Any of our restaurants on a Tuesday or Friday, call ahead in the morning so we don't break them down. Oh, and you have to recycle them when you're done! ; )

I am kicking myself over this, because we had a *ton* of boxes from our own move that I was going to hold onto and offer up on freecycle or craigslist (which could be two other resources for ya) and between obsessive watching of Hoarders and the urging of my husband, I decided to recycle 'em instead. Never again.
