No, you won't, since the newest fabrics coming in are costing the retailer more than the ones now on the shelf. Prices aren't coming down at the wholesale level and are in fact continuing to rise.
If I had to reorder the exact same batiks for instance that came in this week, (which were ordered 3 months ago,) it would cost me 25 cents a yard more than I paid.
