Thanks for the info and the heads up.
Have a great day!

Most years it's not too bad. One sticks out in my mind, though. I stopped on my way to work because they had a Rowenta iron for a great price. I batik caught my eye, so I glanced over to the cutting counter...no one there...whew!! i grabbed the batik and was walking up the the cutting counter when this woman pushed a cartful of flannel (she had two carts) toward the counter that hit me and nearly knocked me over. I was picking up my purse and items off the floor, and this woman got to the counter first. The clerk asked if she minded if she cut mine since I only had the one fabric. I added that I was also on my way to work and didn't want to be late. Her response was "well...you shoulda got her earlier". She was very rude, and intimidated the poor clerk. I resisted the urge to say anything, but secretly wished her permanent, unsolvable tension troubles!!
The trip is worth it for the notions. And, yes...the batting. It really is about the best price they have on those items all year. Good luck to you and your mother this year!
