Salvation Army Thrift Store here has buy 1 get 2 free on certain colors. They also have additional 10% senior discount on Wednesdays. I buy lots of men's plaid shirts and anything denim that will work....jeans, ladies dresses, skirts, etc. I use them to make denim quilts that I call "truck" quilts. The guys seem to really like them. I make them like you would make a rag quilt, but instead of "ragging" them, I sew that part down flat so it makes a "sashing" like border around each block. No batting necessary, they are heavy. Great for lots of outdoor (and indoor) uses.
