I also learned that not all Walmarts that have fabrics are marking down or closing out the same fabrics - or marking them down at the same rate. So a certain fabric may still be $5.44 at one store and on the clearance shelf for $2.00 at another store. Or be long gone by the time I found out there was a sale!

I've noticed the same thing. We have two WMs within practical driving distance (opposite directions). One (lower income area) has a much better Sales Bin selection, often having $2-$3 fabric, which is still full-price, at the other (higher income area). They also tend to carry different food and clothing items, at times.
