And so it begins...

Today, we picked up 30 12x12x12 book boxes from U-Haul. I want to start packing and I want clean boxes because we're going to have to live with those boxes inside our home for awhile. The book boxes are a good, manageable size. U-Haul has a policy that they will buy back any boxes that are unused. That's good to know incase we don't need 30 of this size and more of another size.


30 Book boxes @ $1.25/box.        Cost:$40.29

Then we needed packing tape. Staples sent me an email awhile back. It's a coupon for $5 off. No minimum purchase necessary. This week, they had packing tape on sale for $2/each. Also, 2 pack Sharpies are .25¢ each for the first 2 packs.

3 rolls packing tape, 2 pkgs of 2 Sharpies.     Total: $6.61 - $5.00 Staples coupon = $1.61 Cost

Today we spent on moving expenses: $41.90
