I have always purchased my Aurifil online during sales to keep costs down. Even with shipping, I don't think I've paid more than $8/spool. However, I have seen it in some local quilts shops (not many) for about $11/spool.
Here is where I have purchased my existing stash of Aurifil:

Another discount website to check out is this one:

And for just regular discounted prices:

All of these websites are somewhat less-than-easy to navigate, so take your time. It is the 50-wt 2-ply that I use for both piecing and quilting. It comes in other weights, so make sure you are ordering the weight you want.
