I was wondering - less than one hour ago - whether I might be able to find affordable, useful Full - to - King sheets at a thrift store. We have two in addition to the Good Will.
Your idea is interesting ... you'd have to carry needle, thread, a patch of "top" and a patch of batting. And hope the sales staff doesn't run you out of the store if they don't understand what you're up to. LOL
And I agree. GW has gotten outrageous in price and awful in quality. They don't fix anything anymore before putting on the shelves to sell. The pre-sale repairs used to be part of their job training program. I give all my donatables to either my synagogue for the semi-annual "yard sale", to a local church that gives it all away free, or to the local women's shelter who also give away for free.
I guess I'll be stopping at the thrifts on my way home from work today. LOL
