This is exactly what I buy too... and shipping for one or two rolls is about $20. I love the stuff! It feels and works like cotton but is lighter and not so dense. It quilts like a dream. Very high quality.
I also buy Marshall's 5 oz. poly batting and love that for 'fluffier' quilts. I use it on most of my charity quilts, and also some personal ones. It's only $40 for a big 30 yd. roll.
