packing and moving advice

guys and gals, i need advice.  So my summer plans are quickly approaching.  I might have gotten a subletter but the way this is gonna work is i'll be moving to dc in late may, and then coming back in mid august to move into my new place.  So since i'm getting a subletter i probably have to pack up most of my shit, right???  like i said i have no idea how this works.  I'm planning on driving all of my stuff down to nick's place this weekend for our anniversay and also just to move all my shit down there.  So today i started packing up some of my stuff, and MAN i have a shit ton of stuff!  it got me really stressed out.  i think i need to give stuff to salvation army for sure.  

ok so here is my question.  target has those plastic boxes on sale for 5.99.  So shoudl i buy a bunch and pack up what i can?  or should i just go to the market and get some boxes and pack my shit in those?  I sort of think the latter is better because once i'm done i can just throw them away, whereas the plastic boxes would take up space (and cost money).  But i have a giant basement in which to store shit next year so i guess space isn't really an issue.  I don't know!!  what should i do!!  help me guys.

just pack in regular boxes, is my opinion. but i feel like casey will really know. you don't have to pack up EVERYTHING, just most of it... just enough to make room for a subletter.

btw love the orla kiely chair plan.

I would actually go plastic. Plastic bins are ALWAYS a good investment.
