    I go to the grocery and the only other stores I go to are the thrift and resale stores. I almost always find something.

    Be sure to look of almost new sheets and blankets, too.

    stuff goes straight into the wash when I bring it home. Good luck to the bugs!

    good find! Good Will does not carry any fabric or sewing supplies. I guess if it get's donated they throw it away, which is a shame.

    At least that's my story ;)
    You did pretty good anyway.....isn't Joann's W&N batting $10.95 a yard? So even with a 40% coupon, you wouldn't have done much better....and you saved on your gas !!!!!!

    That's a big factor now.
