Good for you! Less is always best---in prices not stash! LOL You gotta love a bargain.
I check out our thrift stores all the time--usually once a week if not more. Sometimes they have some great buys! Goodwill charges 72 cents a yard for fabric. (how they came up with that price I'll never know) I got a brand new sheet blanket to use for batting for a lightweight quilt at Salvation Army Thrift Store for only $2 the other day.
