That is what I am going to do!! Have lots of "small size" that cannot wear now and doubt VERY seriously if I ever will again.

i had the same trouble.....looked all over for something at a regular price, but other than quilting tools, etc i didn't find anything! even the magazines were 10%, so i couldn't use the coupon.

I have been HOARDING dried beans....yes, hoarding them...I buy in large bulk bags and store in NEW 5gal. buckets that are then sealed with duct tape....

Lettuce $2.50 a head here. And that's iceberg lettuce - absolutely no nutritional value.

It isn't the fault of the fabric shops for price increases on fabric. Cotton has gone up 123% in price. Saw it on the Denver News stations 2 weeks ago.
