We are lucky to have a Goodwill Outlet where you pay by the pound. Even those prices went up from 99 cents to $1.09 per pound. Books (lots of good quilting books) are now 20 cents/lb up from 10 cents/lb. Today I bought close to 15 yards of Christmas fabric (all brand new), 3 men's long sleeved shirts, 2 LL Bean sweaters, a tank top, 2 quilt books, 4 quilt magazines and a quilt pattern. Total spent: $12.00. I can't complain too loudly! The regular Goodwill store has gotten too pricey (in my opinion) and the other local thrift stores have gone up in price as well.
