The border is very close to me so I go to Joann's with coupons and it is a nice outing for the day. Even with the border crossing fees and the the 6% MI tax it is much cheaper.

I asked her where the pellon was and she showed me. I would never have found it because it was hidded under their cutting tables. She finds the one I need and is just about to cut when I asked how much it was meter. She then replied it is $15 a meter. I think my jaw hit the ground. I was like forget that I can get it cheaper in the states and walked out. Is pellon usually that expensive? When you make a bow tuck tote how much do all your supplies usually cost? Sorry this is so long I just can't believe the cost some things at some stores compaired to the cost at others.
I use plastic canvas for the bottom of my purses and cover it with the lining fabric works great!

i shop at fabricland because it's the only option i have. i live right on the border but i don't have a car so i can't cross. there are some things i do to save $$ there. first off i never buy anything for more than half price. i bought a membership, costs $20 but well worth it. most stuff is 25% off all the time if you have a membership. usually at the end of each season they have a huge sale and every month or so they have a members only sale where you can save 50-75% on a lot of stuff. i got four rolls of the iron on stuff for a pretty good price a couple months ago when i started getting into more difficult projects. it was buy one, get three free. plus there is usually a pretty good assortment of last seasons fabrics on the clearance racks and there are a lot of those in my local store. so i find stuff for $3/m that was $15/m a couple months ago. i agree, way overpriced but if you have no other options it pays to be thrifty.
