They are probably a discontinued color...so they will be good quality for that price..I say buy what you can afford..if you wait they will probably be gone the next time you go back. They would make a nice gift..Joann's had some cook books on their $1 table the other day when I was in there...they would be nice to put a couple of those in there too..you can find some cute baskets at the thrift stores too...crafty_linda_b
