Where to get a sled?

I'd like to get a sled for my boys (just in case)...where can I get one cheap?

 

Food Lion in Benson

I know a few weeks ago they had several. Also maybe the local hardware store (mom & Pop) there is one on main street in Benson...Ace Hardware I believe??

They also have them at Bed Bath & Beyond and probably Linens and things!

I went to Sears at Crabtree and bought a new winter coat and ski bibs for my 5 year old for $18 for both!!!! YIPEE!

I am having a hard time finding snow boots though~!!

 

I saw them in food lion at 40/42 on top of the beer cases of all places. I was in the checkout line when I noticed them, so I don't know the prices.

 

This came up a few weeks ago, hopefully some of these places still have them.

Thanks for the info everyone! FYI: I called the new Lowes Foods, they don't have any, but Food Lion at 40/42 has them for $6.99 & 9.99. I can't go until later though, so make sure you save me one!!

 

You'd better call and reserve one LOL! They'll be flying off the shelves, along with the milk and bread at FL :mrgreen:

 

SLED

Try a big pizza pan (one without the holes). Would recommend it for the older kids only, though, because it hauls butt.

 

BJs did have some. Or you could use a plastic kiddie pool--your whole neighborhood can fit in that thing and it'll scoot downhill!

 

We used to use the basket part of the wheelbarrow.

 

we used to use trashcan lids

 

Dollar General at 210 had 4 the other day for 75% off of $5. I bet they are gone now. They were right in the front door by the registers.

 

BJ's at white oak had about 15 left (for $20) at 12:30 today.

HTH

 

Buy a sled and you won't need one. Don't buy a sled and you'll wish you had.

I didn't buy a sled... and I'm hoping I'll be regretting it by Sunday!!

 

I've got several out in the storage shed, they are probably going to crumble from age and no use. 8)

 

where are some good hills around this area to use the sled's though...???

 

I happened upon those at Dollar General. Apparently, the threat of snow caused management to remove the clearance on them. They were $5.00. Went ahead and bought one for my son. He's not that big, so it'll work okay for him. These sleds, however, are really just glorified plastic trash can lids with handles. They are deeper than a trash can lid, but kinda flimsy. No more snow than we get, however it should be sufficient.

 

We bought one of the saucer ones YEARS ago for our daughter when she was young. Its atleast 6 or 7 years old and still looks new. Hopefully I'll get to pull it out today, tie it behind my 3 wheeler, and tow the now teens around the streets.

 

bj's in garner had them for $20, as of yesterday about 15 left, double rider, soft top hard bottom
