Anyone got any spare lying around or know where I could get some?
House is on the market and we want to declutter and start the packing before the open home on Sunday. TIA

Ask at your local countdown/foodtown/new world - often they'll go out the back and get some for you and they're happy to get rid of them  ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

Yep I was going to say the same thing. My recommendation is go in the evening because the night fill will be stocking the shelves and won't have crushed the boxes yet.
Or if you want to go really flash you can buy new from Warehouse Stationary. -------------

When we moved I just went to Pak n' Save and grabbed all the boxes I could fit in my car! Just don't do it on a weekend, all the boxes go really fast. Good luck with your house sale
