It depends on how much time I have. Sometimes I go twice in one week, other times I don't go for a month or so. I have enough stash to last several lifetimes, and I am trying to use up some of it, but of course there is always the need for one special fabric. My husband encourages me to go whenever I want!!!

OMG, I would have to take a trailer if I only got to a LQS once a month. I would go weekly but then I am friends with the quilt shop owner and employee so I go in for a coffee with them and usually leave with tons of fabric :)

I haven't been in a few weeks because I'm working on finishing Christmas projects, for which I already have all required materials and I *really* need to focus on them and get 'em done, because we're celebrating early.

My IL's are coming up this weekend to celebrate (MIL's quilt is finished, its MY family I'm still working on!), and I may hit up Fabricland on Monday because W&N batting is on sale for 50% off, as well as all of the Christmas fabric, which I want to get for next year!...not that I *need* it (I have enough batting for ALL of the quilts I'm planning for the next year!)...but I WILL eventually use it.

I try to limit my shopping trips to once or twice a month...at least, for shopping IN STORE...Shopping online is MUCH cheaper for me and I've done that...uh, three? times in the last month, not including one or two trips to the store. lol I really do have enough going on to last me until next Christmas, lol.

My dilemma is mine is right next door,and the owner is not only a neighbor but a friend also. So needless to say, I go every day. not to buy every time but to visit, and I have to admit most days I do get something. Yesterday I bought 3 Christmas gifts,small items but neat stuff for a quilting buddy.

I try to hold mine at once a week two with an occasional online purchase. No fabric shops around me and Walmart is limited.

depends on how many coupons I have, our local Hancocks honors Joann's coupons and I have 6 50% off....going today on the way home.

I went so much to Hancocks in a months time, my friend that worked there said "you again" I told her be quite I was paying her salary

I make sure I don't lose any JoAnn coupon values. As long as I get there in that time frame I am okay. I have enuf fabric to last the rest of my life I think.
