Can't find white cotton fabric sale
I really like to buy white cotton fabric for my backing for my quilts but I'm really having a hard time finding it on sale right now or some with low shipping cost online. My nearest Walmart with fabric is 25 miles away. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I have good luck with fabric sellers on Etsy. Many people on there have flat rate shipping regardless of quantity purchased. AnnadaisysFabrics is one that has flat rate shipping of $3. There are several more, that's just the one that came up first when I searched on their app. Connecting Threads is a great site too.

I use the white cotton sheeting that is 118" wide. Previously, I bought it at Hancock Fabrics, which is now out of business. It is similar to this: https://www.onlinefabricstore.net/11...FYQ7gQodQUIF5g
The fabric is a tighter weave and feels softer to the hand that most quilting cottons. If you are hand quilting, you probably won't like it. I use it on my long arm all the time. I'd just as soon not piece the back unless it's absolutely a have to situation.

I'd check connectingthreads.com. They have a beautiful white on white swirl for $5.96 a yard. Also check their wide backings for $11.96 a yard. I'm pretty sure I saw a white there. Their fabric is a lot better quality than Walmart or JAF's. Also free shipping on orders $50 or more. I just stock up on basic's to get the free shipping.
