Do you keep the boxes for most items you buy?

:gift:

Guess I'm like most folks. I initially keep most boxes for a week or so in case I have to return an item. Then I toss it. I do have some original boxes from my stereo equipment because I move around a lot and figure that the original packing carton is best (Yamaha components and Bose 901 speakers).

:roll:

I'll toss them once I retire in 2 1/2 years. Being in the military requires moving about every 3 years or so...

I usually keep the decent sized (ie small to medium) boxes. That way when I wrap gifts for birthdays/Christmas, I have plenty of boxes for that. And, much less often, they come in handy for moving and shipping stuff.

I use my stuff until it is way beyond the point where it could be resold. So the boxes are useless for that.

For the more expensive electronics, tvs, stereo, dvd players, monitor...

or if it is something expensive and small I will keep it....I try to convince my wife to keep all of the bozes her jewelery comes in but she doesn't...wish I could be more like her and not care as we would have alot more room...

I used to keep all of my boxes for computer stuff and what not but it got out of hand so now I just toss them after a few weeks.
