Our local ALCO is discontinuing fabric and everything was 50% off which made it $1.99 yd. I ended up buying 45 yards. I went with a friend and she got 25 yards. We sure made a haul. I made sure I only got the good stuff. You really had to watch.

What a great buy!!! 45yds!!I have never bought that much at one time, maybe because I never found a bargain like that!! I told my DH today that the price of fabrics is supposed to really go up next year. He said"You'd better stock up before then" Music to my ears. I didn't tell him I had just placed an order with Joanns on line.Not as good as your bargain price though!!

Wow, what a lucky purchase!!! Can't wait to see the projects you make with all of that!!

Wow, what a great haul. You got some great fabric there. Have fun.

What is ALCO? Nice stashe!

YAY!!!!

Looks like you got a great deal! Have fun using it. :thumbup:

Which ALCO did you go to?

What a great shopping trip!! Have fun sewing and showing us the pics of your goodies!!

Great Haul :mrgreen: Sad that another store is pulling out the fabric department though

Our Alco is closing out fabric, too. 50% off fabric 30% off notions, rulers, mats, etc.

I generally don't buy much fabric there, but it was nice to have a place right in town to pick up a fat quarter or two. Now, the closest place is Wal-mart 12 miles away or 45 miles to Joann's.

I went to the one in Hartford City, Indiana. I've got to start prewashing and one of the pieces is 10 yards. Not looking forward to that.
Alco is a little dime store type, bigger than a Dollar General, but not near as big as Walmart.

wow, great haul

I just love a great bargin. Too bad though that your Alco is discontinuing their fabric. Looks like you and your friend made out nicely.
