The best time I had buying cardboard was back when the store I worked at was closing. I was given the task of ordering packing boxes for the registers as well as other packing material. I can't remember the exact numbers, but it was probably somewhere around 50 boxes. I got on the computer found everything I needed entered the number of boxes and hit accept. When I saw the total, I was like damn that's a lot of money for boxes, shrugged said oh well not my problem. A few hours later I realized what I did wrong. They don't sell the boxes individually. We laughed about that for the rest of the week, even though someone corrected the mistake for me before it got out of hand. Although I would have liked to have seen them ship in 50 stacks of 10 shipping boxes, because that would have really been funny.
