I buy full bolts of pima cotton and cotton sateen from Robert Kaufman directly to use for my hand dyed fabrics. OK...so that may sort of be cheating, but...
I do buy Rinsaway, a water soluble stabilizer, by the bolt (with a 40% off coupon naturally...my momma done drown the dumb ones <grin> ) for invisible machine applique.

I have bought full bolts of muslin bleached and unbleached, heat and bond, stitch and tear, tone on tone natural color prints, battings. I buy the stuff I use lots of by the bolt.
I can not say I ever bought a whole bolt of a particular print , I would be bored with it by the time I finished my first quilt.

I have bought full bolts of Warm and natural..great price. Also full bolts of muslin...also good price. If you finish bolts at some quilt shops...they give you 20% off the fabric...so if you get the whole bolt same thing.

at sauder's in pa, when they have their give-a-way sales. and once from joann's with a 50% coupon, when i needed 9 yeards for a backing. it was 8 yards on the bolt. they had 2 loose yards and i had to take a whole bolt to get the rest out of the warehouse. worst mistake i ever made. they are such doodyheads.

I often buy bolts of fabric at Marden's here in Maine. The average price per yd of fabric there is $2.99 so it's a great savings over quilt shop fabric prices. The fabric on the whole is quilt shop quality just not the hottest off the press. I am very glad that I'm fortunate to have one of their stores located nearby. I sure wouldn't have much of a stash if I had to pay top price.
