When I was the Crafts Lady volunteer at the local thrift shop, I bought tons of fabric, batts, thread, etc. At 50 cents a yard, it was impossible for me to turn down those wonderful fabrics. But since Dec., 2017, I have not bought anything, ... no fabric, thread, batting, ... I only slipped when I bought 3 flat sheets from the thrift shop to make crib sheets. (Two were on special clearance price of $1.50 each and one was a pure accident.) So, I don't fit into either category.
