I don't remember what thread it was in, but a big thank you to whoever posted regarding the crate on wheels (available at Staples). I bought one this week and used it for a show today. LOVED it. It not only held a lot, but it rolls easy and folds flat. Definitely worth the $20-something bucks I paid for it.

I saw my SD with one, have not gotten there yet. I day this week!:D
 
I used this when I first started and didn't want to invest in the rolling 90 dollar one - I also love it! I put my crate on top and rolled away - you can use the new tote that consulants get and put the handles over for stability - remember you can also use it to display by turning it on its side and putting a kitchen towel over it -

GREAT Idea Dor thanks! When I first started I won the 3 piece set, but a few months ago the handle broke & I'm not gonna spend 90.00 for a new one that everyone says happens to them....:D

Heck Yeah I'm going & for FREE!!!!:D :D :D I'll have to catch her in the early mornings, thats when were both on here! I cant wait to go back to the Aquarium & Bubbas!! :cool:
 
Which cart are you referring to? I have been looking at some. I think I am going to need one soon as I am pregnant and not sure how much longer I can carry that bag! Thanks!
 
Melissa, the one that Kris mentioned in the first post in this thread is a plastic rolling crate available at most office supply stores. I've had one from OfficeMax and one from Office Depot. They fold up flat and are super handy. They are limited as to how much weight you can load in/on them. But for $20 (and often on sale for less) they're a much better deal than $90 for the one on supply order.
 
Check your local Big Lots -- they had these on sale. (I hope this works)

Timed Out
 
I bought a scrapebook cart and it I love it for hauling all my supplies to shows. I bought it on sale $29.00 at Joann's fabric
