Things come in from other stores, some with new tags still attached. Today I got several good like new pocket novels, 3 blouses, toys for my puppy and etc. They have everythings and anything, baby clothes, materials, linens, electronic items, bins of shoes, purses, house wares, you have to dig in the bins which are not too deep but its a fun day if you like things of that sort. Anyhow my bill today was $6.34..My visiting DIL got 5 medical scrub tops, sweater, several blouses and a few books. Her bill was $8.??. Quiltingjaguar in FL

NO fabric-- I asked two different people.
BUT I did come away with a 100% wool thigh-length winter jacket for $4.00 (it's supposed to snow here tomorrow night), 2 100% cotton, good-condition dress shirts for the DH for $10, and a pair of bar stools (with the woven seats) for $15.

Also, holy crow you're close to me - I'm in Emmitsburg! :)

I've gotten countless yards this way. My last haul was over 20 yards of fabric and four giant books of patterns for $20. The one before that was three large bags and a box of scraps for $5. On Sunday I'm visiting a woman's studio (with my husband - be safe, please!) because posted on CL that she wants to de-stash -- at $1 to $2 a yard, for hundreds of yards!
It's not everyday that such things come along but you really never know. Happy hunting!
