I just look at the thrift stores and GW and Sa as fabric on hangers. I see what I can get on Saturdays because everything is usually 50% off ticket price. I have a tape measure in my purse and that tells me how much fabric is on that little girl's dress or boy's shirt and I look at the button strips and the zippers with often really cute toggles. These are great for making your own laundry bags or covers for those foam pillows (not pillow cases)!
