I've been wanting to get a wagon for a while now, so as to be able to walk to the store or the library and bring stuff back without my arms screaming. I really want a Radio Flyer, specifically the #18 Classic Red Wagon, but they are a little out of my price range at the moment.

I stopped in to the hardware store this afternoon while I was up at the library and the grocery store, and got sticker shock at the one Radio Flyer they had in stock. I had told myself I could spend up to $20 on a wagon, but that was it. Disappointed, I left and headed over to Pierce's. As I passed by the Family Dollar, I decided on a whim to see if they had any wagons. Lo and behold, there it was--a little red, plastic wagon for $20.

True, I had to assemble it myself from lots of little parts and hard to read directions. True, it has snap-together plastic wheels and can only carry up to 87lbs (no wagon riding). True, it will probably fall apart on me after a brief life. However, it is just right for right now, to carry my groceries back from the store. I like my little red wagon, wobbly wheels and all.
