Ran to Wal Mart yesterday to get more yarn for an ongoing project I work on. Always paid $l.48 for a 122 yd., 2.5 oz. skein of cotton yarn. Picked up several skeins and noted they were now 2 oz., 98 yds., and $1.77. So I bought some, went out to my car, drove to the gas pump and paid $3.57/gal. What else is new? :shock:
