That thought always makes me not complain about our prices.
Folks in countries with Universal Health Care pay for it through their daily purchases I'm afraid.

Then again my (not so-L)LQS charges upwards of $15 a yard for cotton and upwards of $18 for batik

Some are at $6.50 and bidding isn't over yet!

Here in the U.K. fat quarters are around £2.50p each. I rarely buy them, but buy fabric from the states. Next week I go to The National Patchwork Championships at Sandown Park(nr. London) I will buy quite a lot of fabric there as it will be good value. I would absolutly love to be able to but an original feed sack. :-)

I pay $2.75 or $2.95 at my LQS. I wouldn't pay more than that. I found the inexpensive ones at the stores are cheap fabric. I learned my lesson after making a few runners. They don't feel as good as the better quality ones.
I bought 40 of them at my LQS for a quilt when they had them on clearance for $1.00! I was so thrilled. Saved me tons of money!
You can buy them cheaper than eBay on www.fatquartershop.com.
