You're not alone! But most LQS's do have a clearance section, where you will be able to find something to suit your budget. The LQS will be glad to sell their older goods, even at a lower price, so that they can re-invest that money in a different fabric that will hopefully be more popular.
That way you can still support your LQS, even on a budget.
