Elmer’s glue, usually. Have also used a see-through tape that will come off after I’ve sewn it. I used to use straight pins, but Elmer’s glue is easier.

I would go for the yardage. It seems as if I am always running out of a fabric, and that would be less of a problem with yardage. Plus I'd have SCRAPS for leftovers, and I love scraps!
