oldlady 1,600 Report post Posted January 13 if there is a pet store near you, check out the styrofoam boxes that the tropical fish come in. they are free and if the store is a popular one, they get several a week. very strong and the fish come inside a plastic bag so there is no fishy smell in the styrofoam. you are saving the store money when you ask for and take their otherwise expensive trash. and do not forget the auto body shops and their sheet foam. and the bakeries with their icing buckets for glaze. they are usually grateful and will hold things for you to pick up if it is only a day or so. keep those contacts happy and you will never spend money on packing materials again.
