My sister and I get our puzzles from the local thrift shop for maybe $.50 to $2.00. Once we're done with it, we take it back to the same store so someone else can enjoy it. We work on these puzzles every Sunday afternoon for a couple hours. Puzzles have changed since I was a kid, they're harder, more complex but still fun. As my mother would say......it keeps us off the streets and out of the bars...........
