I WAS APPALED TO SEE THE PRICE OF FABRIC AT $10.59/YD.....Are you seeing this price increase in your area also? We live on a fixed income and I try to economize where I can, using my JoAnn coupons, buying online or buying in bulk at times. Am I just being cheap at being ruffled by these crazy prices or am I just out of touch with reality? Your thoughts?
Gas isn't .89 cents a gallon, milk isn't .99 cents a gallon, bread isn't 3 for a dollar, and postage stamps aren't a nickel anymore. Prices go up. The people that make and sell fabrics need to pay today's prices for everything too.
