Look at it this way. If prices go up 10% in 2011... and you've invested in fabric, it's like getting a 10% return on your money. Where else are you gonna get that kind of return? AND, you can have your investment right there in the room with you, and you can pet it, and it won't go bad, and even if thieves break into your house they probably won't be interested in taking it.
So... does this fit the definition of a low-risk, high-yield investment? :lol:

It's interesting to read the comments about $12 being a little high to pay.
When I buy retail I pay from $24 upwards a metre. Yes I'm Australian and this explains it all.
So $12 (US) is still a good buy for me and I'm happy certainly while the exchange rate is sooo good for us at the moment.

I am wondering if the new plastic bag tax goes thru with the new congress (20 cents PER bag) if fabric stores will be charging for that also.
Seems one guy tried to get the plastic bags outlawed, didn't work so now he wants to impose another tax on the people.
They said on the news that it is mainly aimed at grocery stores, but I have a feeling it would be any retail operation that uses plastic bags.
We the people are getting taxed to death and beyond.
