Stopped at a small rural library (open just 3 evenings/week) for an advertised fabric sale. An acquaintance makes charity quilts w/ friends. She buys oodles on line & is selling some of it for $3 - $4/yd - Moda, Timeless Treasures, etc. She sold it at her cost plus 25 cents/yd for the library room rental fee. She invited me to join their weekly quilting group. I liked about $600 worth, but restrained myself LOL & 'only' spent $200 for 60++ yds of fabric. I didn't have that much $$ with me - she said, "No problem - send it a little at a time, whenever you can" - trusting soul. I'm also buying cabinets from her - $55 total, solid wood, deep, 2 stacking pieces, each 4 ft wide, 4 ft high. Can't wait to get it all assembled/organized in my room.
