I use to haunt the CLEARANCE aisle at WalMart, but have noticed recently items are only marked down $.50 or $1.00. I am spending less and less money at WalMart, I am buying more on-line, shipping charges are less than gas.
WalMart just got too full of themselves and forgot about the consumer and their collective power.

For all the nay-sayers and doubting Thomasa's who are basing your thoughts on what you heard from your local stores, or even corporate contacts: Remember that the little guys down on the bottom of the chain are the last to know, and may not even know what we have learned today. This information is just released, and if they were in the loop at HQ, they weren't allowed to talk about it until the official release.
Our next tactic is to not let them regret the decision. They say this will be a trial? Spread the word to people who will patronize the new sections of the store. Remember, once the items come back to your stores, send in a word of thanks. There is a comment form on the corporate website. If they don't have the notions or quality you want, let them know that too. The war may not be over, but I think we may have won this battle.

Was just at my local Walmart this morning and checked the fabric dept. I noticed some new bolts that are a much nicer quality than alot of their selections. The price was $5.44yd. Sometimes I think I'll never shop there again,but back I go! I am spoiled because my area has many shops,even a few with good prices on all the choicest fabrics. I really like connecting threads,too. Hope you all get your fabric back soon!

This is really great news. I'm on a very limited budget and have limited mobility so I'm happy they have gotten the message that pulling fabrics and certain other crafts from their stores was a mistake. Although I've heard that some stores in the mid-west did not pull their fabric, here in New England they pulled it from all stores. Now I look forward to getting a fabric fix for a reasonable price. Smart move Wal-Mart. MargeD
