I have never been known as the greatest bargain hunter, but last week I hit the jackpot! With a new house comes new windows. Never needed curtains, yet always wanted some. Now is my chance. Only one problem. There are 7 windows and Joanne Fabric's fabric is 25$ a yard!! That means, I can only afford a window every 3 months. That's a lot of waiting and saving up.

I had my heart set on this beautiful fabric from Joanns for my master bedroom. Isn't it beautiful? sigh. I found it and knew this fabric was for me.

25$ a yard was a bit much, but decided I would save up for this must have fabric anyways.

 Then Home Fabrics outlets came into my life. I decided to stop by last Friday to see what this store was all about. I walked in and my mouth dropped open. Bolts and bolts of home decor fabric and the average price was 5$ a yard. I started scanning the isles of bolt after bolt of lovely fabric. Then I saw it, my FABRIC! Normally 5$ a yard, I got it for 2$ a yard! The only catch was I had to buy what was left on the bolt because it was on clearance. No problem, 4 1/2 years was do-able.

I even came across the fabric that is on my couch. Then I found the perfect fabric for my living room draperies! Heaven!

Want to know how much I saved on all this lovely fabric? I bought 20 yards total at an average of 3$ a yard. At Joanns this would have cost me 500$, but I only spent 60$ That is a savings of 440 dollars!!!! I was in fabric heaven leaving that store. Hugging my fabric in excitement, I headed off to show my husband my amazing bargain. Now I can start on my curtains! This will be my next challange. I have never made curtains before. Want to join me for the ride?
