I wish the LQS would run more specials, but I do understand their overhead prices, etc.

Our Joanns prices started going up at least 2 yrs ago.Many of the "cheaper" cottons are $5.98yd & better ones $9yd.Notions are the cheapest thing to buy there, especially with a good coupon.Our Walmart fabric area is a joke. Notions look dusty & old.....& it just kills the clerks (you have to call them) when you ask for fabric to be cut.I don't shop there at any price.

Warm and Natural batting is $69 for a queen size package.
Needless to say, I wait for sales.
With the Canadian $ being so close to par with US right now, it's almost worth the tank of gas to shop over the border, and I'm 3 hours away!
