I was in a JoAnn's fifty miles from home today. The fabrics haven't gone up yet, but I did see some incoming home dec that was priced higher than it was several years ago. The store was clean, the cutters and registers were able to keep up and several stockers were busy. Apparently, the store now has a young male manager and he was doing a great job overseeing everything. In the past, the cutting table lines were ridiculously long, so this was a pleasant surprise. Eighteen years ago, this was a 'big' store. Now it's only medium size, but they had everything I wanted. Not all quilting was on sale - just the batting on rolls, all thread, Olfa products and most quilting fabric. I don't understand why they have quilting supplies in two separate areas. We didn't when we had a store here.
