    My hubby found this for me. Needs a little work but thats ok. Going to save my back. Hope I won't need as many pain pills. Was going to post picture to name it. But when I told my grandson he said I should call it the bumblebee truck.
    Went to grocery store again this morning and stop at new thrift store. Price on corner of book is $26.95

    The Bumblebee truck (I think the name is perfect for it by the way) is sooo handy and rather attractive - what a great find. :smt041
    Getting the book for only 45 cents has got to be the biggest ever saving!! How I wish we lived near to each other Donna then you could teach me how to get fantastic bargains too.

    Donna glad to see your bumblebee will be a big blessing to you in the garden. We have a golf car and love riding on it and hauling things.
    I love a good cook book find like yours. I have way to many. But love them all. :stew1:

    Great find Donna! I was at an auction a few weeks ago and there was a Gator there, the kind with 3 axles, ...I heard the auctioneer say the man paid $18,000 for the thing 4-5 years ago and it went for $1,500....Someone got a bargain! Wasn't me, but I wasn't bidding on it, either. I hope yours was a great bargain, too.
