Just don’t hoard. If you don’t have space or you have more than you need, trim your stash down.
Yes, but how many do you need? I can’t say I’d need more than 1 empty box most of the time, but when I need more than one I curse my inability to leave random empty boxes lying around
I’ve found the occasional box handy, but not many until it’s time to move. We had a stash of something like a dozen folded flat and out of the way, then we got bankers boxes because they’re not too expensive and they’re a really nice size for some heavy things, and then we got some plastic rubbermaid containers because they work better for some lighter items.
The rubbermaid containers will actually be more of a pain to deal with since they don’t fold flat, but at least they stack. So I figure we use the top-most container in the stack to store a spare blanket and clothing that we want to keep packed down most of the time, and that’s pretty space-efficient. And then flatten the boxes and have that somewhere on a shelf or stacked next to something out of the way.
