I've got a garage full of boxes and they're all yours if you want to drive out to Keller to get them.

Craigslist and Freecycle will get you most, if not all, of your moving materials at little or no cost.

you can ask your local grocery store for boxes also. Just go to the produce dept in the morining and ask them to hold them for you. We bale as we go, so ask early.

Check on Craigslist or a similar website. When we moved we always got rid of our boxes posting them for free pick up on Craigslist and I noticed that others do the same.

go to your local grocery store or even a walmart, really any bigger store and ask them if they have any spare boxes in the back. everything gets shipped to them in boxes and a lot of them just throw them away. I use to work at k-mart and target and we had people come in all the time and ask for them.

Egg boxes from the market seem to be often sought moving boxes...I guess they are a good size. Ask at your local supermarkets.

Talk to the manager/owner of your local liquor store. These boxes are great because they have dividers so they protect your glassware and other breakable items. However to make it easier for them to stock the shelves, the employees cut off the tops.

You may want to invest in a few large rubbermaid boxes. They help with moving, then you can reuse.

Go to your local liquor store and ask them for boxes. Those boxes work best. They are very sturdy for obvious reasons, they are on the smaller side so that you don't pack to heavy to carry and they stack well in the moving truck. We have moved often and always go for the liquor store boxes first. Other wise you can always go to the local home improvement store (Home Depot etc) they sell moving boxes and etc.
