I make a great number of Quilts Of Valor so will buy blue or red when it is a good price--not online. And never more than 1 yard as I like scrappy. Often one yard is the minimum for sale fabric.

I did unsub myself to lots of fabric sites and that really helped. When I saw those great prices I was sorely tempted. It is like having candy in the house. If I see it I might eat it. I try very hard to support my local shop but only sale fabric.
I think you are on to something. I cancelled or deleted all newsletters from quilt stores. It is a lot easier to not buy if you don't know what is on sale. I also don't go to fabric stores. I know that if I go into the store, I will buy!
