I was in a well known fabric store yesterday. I ran in to get a bottle of sewing machine oil and pick up a can of 505 basting spray. (I hate using the stuff with the fumes and all, but I really needed it for one of my projects.) They had only a small can available for (Are you sitting down?) $27.99!!! Yow!!!!! I asked the clerk if that was the correct price and she nodded. I couldn't believe it. I went to Wally World and picked up a much larger can of a competitor's spay for $8.79 and that seemed too expensive.

I use Elmer's washable glue right out of the bottle to baste everything. I wouldn't pay that much for a basting spray.

That's absolutely crazy! And, it's been my experience that 505 doesn't even wok that well.

That's outrageous! Shop around online, there are better deals. I love the stuff myself. It holds beautifully throughout the quilting process.

Amazon.com $20 with free ship for the 10.93 oz size. I prefer the 505 to the cheaper brands.

It's about $18 here in the UK, and I thought that was expensive.

Connecting Threads has it on sale right now BUT will not ship in Canada. I believe it is because of postal regulations about shipping flammable products. Wishing now, that I had bought one (or three) when I was in Texas for US thanksgiving.

I suspect the inflated price is so they can regularly offer discount coupons of 40 to 50% off. Those coupons just bring the product down to a "normal" price and you are SOL if you don't have a coupon. A big reason I don't regularly shop places that make it common practice to hand out a 40 - 50% off coupon on any non sale item. They try to trick you into thinking you are getting some great bargain when in reality you are not. I figured out that scam a long time ago and don't like being played for a fool just because I don't subscribe to their mailing list or download it from their website.
