...because you want to make your $$$ goes as far as it possibly can.

Ask me how I know?

A few years ago as we were traveling through a town the clerk of a LQS suggested I enter their drawing. They notitified me 3 days later that I had won their Grand Prize Door Prize. When we were traveling back through that town, I was given a bag with a quilting kit in it, some other quilting goodies and a $100 gift certificate. Wanting not to spend one penny of it on shipping costs, I had to make a lot of decisions in a short amount of time. That was sewwww hard to do.

I know how you feel. With half of it why don't you buy what you wouldn't buy because of the cost and with the other half buy as you normally do, frugally.

At any rate, have fun. What you buy will be a treasure to you. :-D
