Here is another good place to shop....
St. Vincent dePaul Society has Thrift stores in lots of places. You can check your phone book or perhaps even Google for your area.
Their King size flat sheets are $1.50 each. Anything in a set is up to $4.
I buy only their flat sheets that have no fitted or pillow cases with them. I believe someone may need a whole set and I can always find flat sheets.
I have about a dozen that I keep for on the backs of quilts. I often find nice prints and they go well with scrap quilts. My quilts go to charities and the less I spend on backing and batting (I buy 50% if possible) the more quilts I can make.
Hope you gals can find some good buys in this store as well.

our Goodwill here is not that big, but I love scouring for new "fabric". I just love the idea that not only does something get recycled, but that I get a smart bargain. LOl, makes me feel clever, although so many are doing it!!! :lol:

We have wonderful thrift stores around here, but I was told by a volunteer at one of them (who was walking out with a quilt) that material, quilts, any fabric, is snatched up by the volunteers before it ever hits the floor. I wondered why I never found any like you gals seem to!

On Sundays, our local DAV (Disabled Veterans) Thrift Store has a certain colored tag for 25 cents each or 5 for $1. I have been lucky to get several pieces of fabric or a whole dress to cut up for 25 cents! This makes my hobby of making lap robes for hospice patients affordable.
