Here in Idaho, in the little town we live in we have the most incredible old time five and dime. There is a fantastic fabric department....Benartex, Moda, minkee's, flannels that are known quality fabric names.

Prices for those fabrics run anywhere from $8-13 dollars a yard...then every day discount of 25% off of the price on each bolt. Weekly sales add anywhere from another 10-15% off depending on the week, so added to the everyday % off I think for this day and age it makes the fabric afforadable. When seasons change all fabric is reduced to $2.99 so I can get summer moda's for $2.99 a yard...but you must take all of what is left on the bolt.

Now come Black Friday...all fabric is reduced a minimum of 50% some 75%...needless to say in this neck of the woods this little gem of a store is quite popular.
