I too am a box hoarder!!! But it makes me feel so GOOD, when I can pull out "The Box" when someone needs it (YES - vindicated). DH doesn't know about my box hoarding, because I keep them flat. But I am able to get to them without any problem (next to the washer and dryer or under the plastic tubs of fabric under the guest bed). I use them for donations, so much easier than bags. I will keep one in the guest room for all items that will take the ride, when full DH takes down to GW and drops off. I also use for templates of patterns in some of my sewing. When I'm doing a lot of cutting, it helps because I can always replace the pattern in a heart beat (I keep the original and trace it onto the part of the box that I can make a couple of templates out of then the rest goes into the recycling). So I might be a "hoarder", but I'm also a "user".
