Bike trailer delivery
My wife has started a small business and I do deliveries on Friday by trailer. Her sister gave us her old Burley. I think she only used it a few times. I make a few deliveries on my way to work. Fun times 
PS
I f you are low on $$$ ask around to family and friends who have kids around 5-7. One of them may just give you one just to free up the space.

Good idea to check with people you know. I would also check on freecycle. These kiddie trailers are useless to many people once the kids get too big for them. And if they only used them a few times a year, they should be in pretty good condition.
One time I needed a vacuum cleaner and I didn't have much money. I put a sign up on the bulletin board at work, and somebody sold me their beautiful vacuum for $2.00. They didn't want it but they couldn't bring themselves to throw it out.

I've seen kids trailers on Craigslist for like $40. Some of them can be converted to a cargo trailer with a little cutting and drilling. There was actually a post on BF with pictures from someone who did that. I may pick up one later this year and play around with it. I want to start going shopping by bike.

weaving was a very ingenious solution!

Yup, that's a great solution! In the posts I saw before people would use wood or aluminum that had to be fastened somehow.
