That sure is a shame! We just bought gas tonight for $1.79 a gallon! It hasn't been that low in...ten years or more! It's amazing really. Though the prices aren't too bad in this area - I will say the selection is limited. We don't get as much of the name brand and nicer clothing that other stores get. But so far - things are looking good in the wool area where I hear some other areas it is getting harder to find. I don't know if it's because wool is going out of fashion? Budget? I don't know but fingers crossed that I can continue to find it reasonably priced for a while! I will likely buy some wool online and in quilt shops too - but on a budget it sure is nice to have an affordable way to build up a stash!
