So, WWYD re: packing yourself versus packers

I have packed almost all of the house on my own. ?Packers are coming on Thursday to do the kitchen, DH's closet, and the stuff on the walls. ?

I ran out of boxes this afternoon, with probably 2-3 boxes worth of stuff to pack--mostly odds and ends (things like pillows from the couch, a few bathroom things, etc).?

Would you suck it up and go get a few more boxes and pack them yourself or would you just let the packers do it on Thursday? ?Part of me feels totally beat and justified in having them do a few extra boxes after I did almost everything else myself. ?The other part of me hates the idea of paying a cent more than what we'd already agreed on.?

If I could afford it, I would have movers pack my whole house for me.  I hate packing.

I would have used the packers for EVERYTHING!!  They're wonderful!!!  Oh, I just saw that you're paying for it.  Hmm, probably buy the boxes.

Packers are expensive! I hate packing, but I can be a tight wad and would probably just get the boxes myself (boxes from the grocery store that they are throwing out anyway, even).

BoF, you are one smart chica. ?It might actually all fit in there, too. ?

Is it bad karma to cheat at packing that way? ??

THIS THIS THIS. I would buy the couple boxes. Sucks, but I would go the cheaper route.

 

We just moved from NV to OK and had packers do everything. It was heaven. Pure heaven. Of course, DH's company was paying .... lol.
