Ours seems to becoming more and more friendly to the budget shopper. There's a case with $3.99 and $5.99 fabric. On June 30 they offered 30% off of any fabric that was red, white, or blue. How cool was that? AND that included the bargain fabrics and ANYTHING that had ANY reddish, white-ish or any hint of any of the red/white/blue colors. That was a GREAT sale.
I spent most of my money on the $3.99 shelf - getting backings and even the fabric for two different quilts - the kind where you take one yard each of 3 different fabrics. That's less than $10 for 3 yds of fabric.
The workers are awesome - very child and husband friendly.
I can't buy most of my fabric there - unless they're having a sale like this - but I can get a border to complement something I've purchased online. When I go in I know I'm paying for the staff's knowledge of their stock and expertise.
