I usually make mine, but I have to admit when they are on good sale I do buy them. Just started doing that recently at MSQC of deal of the day, also on Fat Quarter Shop they have a daily deal called a Flash Sale. Yesterday I bought Breakers Bali Crackers
Hoffman Fabrics layer cake for $11.99 even with $5.00 shipping I still could not get it for that price. I have done this several times plus I will purchase clearance items. Jenny Doan does do some great tutorials.
