Frugal Village’s gift idea for a fishing fanatic

Sara Noel’s Frugal Village newspaper column today has this idea from a reader on the perfect gift for a young angler:

My best friend’s son is turning 10 this week, and he loves ice fishing. In a popular catalog, I found a tackle box filled with gummy worms and fish and so on. It was $20, well over my budget. In the city I live in, we have a dollar store. I found a girls’ bead box in blue (looks just like a tackle box), and I’ll go to the candy store to get the gummy worms. I’m very happy that I could re-create this at a fraction of the cost. — Steph, Maine
