I think I paid a little less than that for mine I got at ALCO last year, it looks basically the same only it's black and red. You might check there also.

Thanks! I use one of these and I really like it. At that price, I may have to find a use for a second one!!! I do not have an ALCO in my area. In fact I have never heard of that store.
 
Never?! OMG, lol, I guess it's probably just a podunk thing, lol. It's basically kind of like a dollar general or something.
 
Alco?? Not in NC or WI either (as far as I know!).

I wish I had waited. I just bought a rolling cart at Office Max for $24.95.
 
These crates are bad......I've had one for 6 months. (carried all of my Avon orders into work) After about four months, the mechanism on the side that locks the sides together when its closed, broke. (OF course! Its all plastic!) It keeps popping open. If its REALLY heavy, and you only have two or three steps to go up, its okay. Just really loud. I did buy another one. I wish they had more of a fabric one on wheels. This doesn't hold all that much.
 
I have one that is like a tubbermaid tote and not a folding crate. I love it except that it doesn't have a handle to pick it up with. It rolls really good and it holds a lot of stuff...and it has a lid. I picked it up at Sams Club 2 years ago. I think I gave 22.00 for it.
 
I have one of these and I LOVE IT!
 
My mom LOVES going to Alco. They live in NE but when I moved to KS there is no Alco around here. People look at my funny if I say something about the store.

Well there are Alco's in this part of Kansas, lol. Maybe you need to get away from the 'big city' lol.
 
I have one too, but it is pretty cheesey. Don't overload it as you might not make it too far. It is good for carrying extra stuff though.
