A funny story
I was talking with my daughter this morning who is just beginning to build a stash of fabrics. She went to Walmart a week or so ago to purchase some clearance fabrics. Now she is brand new to buying fabrics and has no clue how it is done. She saw several bolts of fabrics that were about 8-10 yds each. No one was in the department. She put the bolts in her cart, now mind you the cart was full with bolts of fabric. So off to the cash register she went. The cashier has no idea either and so charge her the price on the end of the bolt, $1. So now she has only spent a total of $9 for the entire cart of fabrics. Talk about stash building. So off she went happy as a snug bug in a rug.
She went back to the store the same day figuring she would pick up some more of the clearance fabrics. This time there was someone in the department and when she started to go with another cart load of fabrics the associate stopped her to tell her she needed to have it cut. My daughter was totally stunned! She told me she felt a good deal of guilt about the error but was legitimate in how she paid for the fabric. She did buy a few yards that day. What a way to start building a stash.
