This past week Joann's down here had fat quarters for 75 cents each, they are usually 2.49, I didn't buy as many as I thought I would as most seemed very thin and not in the colors/patterns I was looking for, but I still got about a dozen or so. I can't imagine paying 8 bucks for one fat quarter, holy moly.

ETA: I just saw your post above with it being charm packs (I must type awfully slow lol) - 8.00 seems pretty reasonable for one of those.
