On masking tape it stated the yardage and the asking price. This garage sale reject got sent to the Good Will and all stuffed into two bags full. Each bag was marked $3.99 and with my 25% off I got each bag for $2.99.

Going by what was marked on the masking tape I added the complete total and it was 36 yards of material. Thats around seventeen cents a yard!! I'd sure call that a "Bargain of the Day!"

AWESOME PLUS I WOULD SAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good for you! I didn't know about the Wednes. Senior Discount! Also, I want to thank you for a great idea for covering up my DH's Martin Crane chair. He won't part with it, and it is an eyesore!

Boy, oh boy!! What a find!!!
When I go to Goodwill or local thrift stores, I can't seem to find anything. But that's usually the way it works. When your looking for something specific. you can't find it but when just browsing, you might find it....
