Find out if they ever go on sale.

Wow! I wonder if my local sells that - that is seriously cool. I'm not a heirloom stitcher but I think it's just too cool to not get!

There is a Winco in Spokane and I do buy 25-50 pounds of flour every fall! :-D I am going shopping!! :lol:
|
I would love some old feed sack cloths! My MIL told me about them, and I think I'm becoming addicted to them! I can hardly wait to see if any of our stores in Wisconsin carry them!

I've seen rice in cloth bags but I could never use that much rice. Flour on the other hand I might be able to work on since I love to bake.
