I needed a few things to go with what I already had in order to complete some WIPs. I had a really old Tonga Treat and was hoping to find another one so I could make a larger sized lap quilt. I finally found one and the price was $40 with a shipping charge of $13 and I thought no way can I spend that. I kept looking and finally hit on Hancock's of Paducah. They had one on sale for $19.99 that complimented the original and shipping was $5.95. I then found a layer cake I needed on sale at Etsy for $25 with shipping of $5. I was looking a couple of charm packs and was amazed at the difference in shipping which ranged from $2.60 to $12.00 an I decided to put off buying them. I then looked for a Sweetwater Reunion jelly roll and found only two which were on Esty. One was $60 and the other was $100! Needless to say I wasn't buying those! It really pays to keep searching!

Very true!! Sometimes I check several different places before I buy. The same thing on Fabric.com can be much cheaper on Ebay. Recently I bought some GI Joe for $1 yard as a daily special from Marshall Dry Goods Wholesale that was on Amazon for $7.99 a yard. Yes I did have to buy a whole 10 yard bolt from Marshall (I actually bought 2 bolts
) but after I saw the price difference I couldn't buy from Amazon. I will use the fabric up with my donation quilts easily.
