YES!!! Fabric used to be 42 cents a yard and now it's an outrageous 72 cents a yard!!!! LOL

Of course they're raising their prices, the cost of their utilities, wages and everything else is going up so they about have to. It hasn't changed our Goodwill any though, it's still packed all the time. I was a bit shocked the other day when dd wanted the pretty pink purse in the display case. It was new so I knew it would be more than the $3 charged for used ones. I asked a sales clerk to check on the price-----$159.96!!! Granted, it was a Coach but it was also Goodwill. Needless to say, dd and I came home without the purse.

I bought 2 nice pairs of shoes, 5 skirts, 5 blouses, 1 dress, a large wooden tv tray to use for a portable ironing board, and a whole bunch of fabric (my cart was literally overflowing with purchases) and only spent $63 and change.
