To be honest, I've never seen Chinese take out boxes used at our Chinese restaurant. I guess that's why I never thought of that. Then again, maybe they only use them with certain things?...I don't know. I'll have to ask. Thanks!

I just remembered that they also have the take out boxes for wedding favors. I'm not sure if Wal-Mart still has them. When Wal-Mart got rid of their fabric section all the craft and paper items got switched around and they got rid of some things...such as loose leaf graph paper (sure, the ONE thing I need for quilt designing)...and they added a bunch of stuff.

I'd really like to find something online. My friend has hardly any gas so he can't go anywhere unless he really has to...so no rides to places that might have Chinese take out boxes. Well, since I've been living here with him and his wife Wal-Mart's now within a reasonable walking distance (at least for me anyways), but its been getting colder up here in Wisconsin and I don't have a decent jacket for this kind of weather. If I really have to I'll go walk up there, but I'd like to see if there is something online first to avoid catching cold.
