Bucky Badger is getting ready for a tailgate party this weekend with his friends before the big game! He wants to bring a small grill to the party to make some classic Wisconsin brats to share with friends. One problem---Bucky doesn't have a grill. Come to think of it...he doesn't have much of anything in his apartment...uh oh...

Bucky's parents, Belinda and Bill Badger, have a lovely beachside home in Palm Beach, Florida. They can't drive all the way up to Wisconsin just to bring Bucky a grill, and, with no car, Bucky doesn't have any way of getting home and back by this weekend on his own. Whoops.

Bucky calls his parents

The closest store that sells kitchen appliances is pretty far, so Bucky has to take the bus. It was a bit confusing figuring out which bus to take, and when Bucky finally gets there, the grill is nearly $75! Jeez...

Buy it anyway!

Bucky has a great time at the tailgate, but next weekend, when his friends invite him out for dinner, he can't afford it! And that grill? He never uses it again, and it collects dust on his shelves for eternity. Yikes.

Bucky looks online for a used grill, but the websites are a little sketchy. He doesn't know how safe those transactions would be, and when he looks for new grills to buy, they're nearly $75! Holy cow!

The grill takes a while to ship, so Bucky doesn't even get it in time for his party! His friends decide to go out to eat instead, but now, $75 poorer, Bucky can't afford it. When the grill does finally come, Bucky never uses it. It just sits on his shelf and collects dust. Whoops.

Let Bucky miss out...

Bucky decides not to buy the grill. With no brats to enjoy at the tailgate, his friends decide to go out to eat. Jeez, going out to eat all the time is really starting to add up...oh well.
