Default Shopping freeze is over

I put myself on a shopping freeze in December. I have done well up until last week, June 27. I decided to buy fabric to do 10 min. table runners for a wedding gift in July. I went to a few online shops and thought that it was too expensive so I googled the fabric lines and found great prices at Thousands of Bolts. I kept adding to my cart thinking once I got to a magical number shipping was free. Nope, so I went through my cart tossing yards out and switching some to fat quarters. Fat quarters are great for fabric you can't live without but don't know what the heck you are going to do with it. The quarters were $1.89, less then a latte, in fact most of the yard pieces were less then a latte. $3.95-$4.95 a yard. I got pink christmas fabric to make gift bags for my pink daughter. 10 yards, two quarters for $47. The shipping was $9.95 but I ordered it June 27 in the evening and got it June 29 at noon. Ohio to Washington, well with the price.
