this site sells most of their fabs for $2.99 per yard. they can cram 27-28 yards into the big flat rate box. although they sell lots of the same fabs walmart did/does, the Red Rooster brand - which is much nicer - is also only $2.99.

also, i saw countless fabs at thousandsofbolts.com for under $5 per yard. a significant portion are under $4. they just added a new search feature. you can search by theme within each color. guess who dropped a bundle there yesterday? :lol:
