I know this isn't a popular complaint, 'cause it makes lots of money for lots of people. I'm speaking about the sales of alcohol in Walmart. Bet Alice approved :roll: That was when I really started noticing what was being sold to us. Everything coming from China and other foreign countries and now the material and related notions are disappearing. Like mentioned before, there really aren't many choices in some areas. We try to shop locally and then avoid Walmart as much as we can.

I was upset when the embroidery floss was discontinued - among other things.

The one walmart, that I normally don't go to, had the fabrics on sale and I almost missed it. It was a couple of weeks ago and when I got there it was practically all gone, left were a dozen or so cotton bolts, fleece, and decorator/upholstery. Anything that needed to be cut was 75% off so I managed to find 5 cottons, some trims, ruffles and binding. I've been going back and forth to the other walmart that I usually go to, but no sale yet but the shelves are very slim.

I know, it seems like the store is empty without fabric. It used to carry Cranston Print Workds fabrics, which is a local company, but one cannot purchase from. There are a number of fabric stores and quilt shops around RI, CT and Mass. Alas, alas.

I refuse to shop at WalMart anymore. Even tho they are close by, and did away with the fabric dept. The last time I was in walmart (this was a couple years ago) I was in the meat dept buy food and pork chops were GREEN, uck. Will never give them another penny, even tho their prices fit my checkbook. As far as fabric, I prefer to support the independent quilt shop that is near me. Just don't buy near as much fabric as I used to. Oh, and I do shop Hancocks when they have sales, but I have to drive further.
