Hi from Broken Arrow OK. Quilting fabric stores usually have a selection of fabrics 1/2 price off located in the backs of their stores. Since I love fabric I can usually find something I like. Also like others have responded if I have to have it I pay it but usually I don't. Get on a fabric store's mailing or email list so you know about upcoming sales and check back at a favorite fabric store every once in a while and you'll be surprised what is suddenly in the back of the store at 1/2 price. Also Hobby Lobby has their 40% off coupon about every other week and they also carry some great fabrics. Good luck. Check out fabrics.com or quiltinaday websites for some great buys.
