I was a GW yesterday also. I want to make a quilt out of velvet, velveteen, velour . I got a ton of the brightest, prettiest colors. I was so excited. All was in good shape, old robes ,pant suits, shirts. I bet I have enough to make more than one.

For some reason, I donate to our Good Will, but when I go in and look around, I think it`s too much for the items. Last time I saw hand towels were $1.99, they were small and washed out, also 1 pint jar that looked far from new for .99. This store is big and everything is crammed together. Don`t think poor people can afford their cloths either. When the best part of the life on an item is gone, the price should be lower. Also they never have any material, you know they must get some in, where does it go?

Wow, you are so lucky! I look at the bargains you guys get in the States and it makes me jelous. Just this morning I ordered 13 yards of fabric from fabric.com and the total came to $76. U.S. with shipping and I think that's a great deal. Standard price of a metre of fabric at Fabricland here is $10. There are sales, of course, but they don't have the variety that your U.S. online sites have. Wal-Mart here used to sell fabric but stopped several years ago. We don't have Joanne's, but we do have Michaels, although they don't sell fabric. (I'm also a scrapbooker, so I am totally into their one item at 40% or 50% off. I'm in there every week practically.)

I figured that today I spent $5.80 per yard and for me, that's a good price. I read another post here recently where an American was about to place an online order but stopped when she realized there would be a shipping charge of $10. I wish! Fabric.com gives you free shipping in the U.S. for an order of $40 or more. That's awesome!

We do have lots of quilting stores but their fabric is very expensive - $15/metre and up (mind you, they have much more choice).

If their items are selling it means people are buying at those prices. Or, do they have another store for the things that do not sell? Maybe ask about that? If things hang around here beyond a certain point they move it to their "discount store".

I see Mercedes and Jaguars in the Goodwill parking lot here ... but, I am assuming they are antiquing.

Great find. Our Goodwill does not have fabric.

What a good deal! Didn't know about the coupons, thanks for the information. However, no matter how often I go, I never seem to find anything more than maybe a yard of fabric hanging on a hangar.... :cry: I go to about 4 different Goodwill stores in my area! I'm glad you scored!

Lucky Lady. :)

They do not ever sell fabric here at the Goodwill. Nor do they have a color of the day or week or use coupons. They do not have a senior day or discount. We travel all over the country and no-one is like our Goodwill. Thank heavens !!

Congratulations on your haul.

We DO have senior days and every second Saturday they have 50% off in the whole store....of course we have about 6 Goodwills in a nearby circumference! And more even a little further away.

You did luck out - what a great group of fabrics. Have fun with them. I did not know about their coupons, but I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the info.

You really lucked out. Looks like you will have plenty to play with for a while. Didn't know about their coupons. I will have to check that out.

I just signed up. Thanks for telling us about the coupons.

Goodwills in this area never have these kinds of things!

Did you know that Goodwill also has an auction. Right now they have a Singer 301A at $30.00. All kings of stuff.

Good for you.

What a great score that you walked away with today. Lucky you.

I never find fabric at our goodwill. Just overpriced garage sale items and new ones higher than Walmart. Our Goodwill thinks it is a department store. I haven't heard of coupons either. Would be interested in where you get them.

I never knew about the coupons for goodwill but I will be checking them out from now on. Thanks for the info. You got a nice haul there. Enjoy!!!!

A Great find. I did not know that Goodwill had coupons. Will have to check that out. Thanks.
