    Question Frugal Jigsaw Puzzles

    I really would like to start doing some jigsaw puzzles on these cold, long winter nights.

    Does anyone know where I could buy some that are not too expensive? I have tried thrift shops but there are only a few in this area and they really don't have anything much in them.

    Any online sites that sell them on sale? Where do you get yours?

    Not sure where to find puzzles cheap this time of year, but you could stock up this summer at yard sales. I've found them as cheap as .10 cents each!

    Have you checked Dollar Tree and Big Lots? There is also a toy store called Toy Liquidators that we have been to in the past at various outlet malls. We've gotten some nice ones there on sale.

    You can get some really nice, cheap one on ebay. Just type in jigsaw puzzles. You can also get some really nice cheap ones at Wal Mart if there happens to be a Wal Mart near you. Lee

    Walmart here has them that are like 4 or 6 (maybe more) different ones in one package and they are less than $10 (I think they were marked down to $7......I keep meaning to buy some more to)

    I agree, stock up on the upcoming yard sales, you can get them cheap and possibly a whole bunch of them.

    Wow - thanks so much for all the ideas.

    I plan to do some online, probably check out a local store (Walmart is closest!) and get some cheap ones, maybe also try ebay - and then when the summer yard sales start around here I will be able to stock up for next Fall/Winter very frugally.

    Thanks again.
