It depends on the chain. Check this board and you will get ideas. Wal Marts have stopped carrying fabrics in some of their stores. If you find a Wal Mart with fabric you have to be carefule, some of it is not good. Joann's carries good fabric, but you still have to check it. I'm not sure where you are going in the US but if you are in New England, you may want to take a trip to Marden's in Sanford, Maine. They sell LQS quality fabrics at $2.99 and $3.99 a yard. Their selection is constantly changing so if you see something you like, buy it. I have read other people talking about Marshall's Dry Goods in Arkansas. They sell quality fabric at a discount as well. I am sure other members can point you to stores in their area of the country as well. Marden's does not sell fabric on line, but Marshall's Dry Goods does.
