My DH has no idea how much fabric costs. I've told him that prices have gone up but he forgets. I purchased some fabric yesterday from a LQS for a quilt class and spent $85. I told him I spent $45 because I had some mad money tucked into my wallet. He thought I spent too much. But then again he still thinks a dress shirt should cost $12 and a tie only $5. At 57 he's still living in the dark ages.
