In the Goodwill near me they bundle the fabric in plastic bags and set it in the craft/yarn area. Usually the bags have mixed quilting fabric with other types of fabric. But for $2 on sale days, even getting 1/3 of a bag of quilting cotton is a bargain. As a side note, I have three other Goodwills near me and they do not have fabric.
