ripped off.

I am not here to bad mouth craft stores, as a matter of fact I actually love nothing more than going to one and browsing all of the amazing things they sell. What I do not like is the fact that absolutely everything is marked up by 300%. I know this because I have worked in several over the years and they are all the same. The other day I bought 4 bags of this stuff for $3 for 12 OUNCES.

(Ignore that the bag says 20 oz., only picture I could find.)

Then I stumbled upon this website. 

Where you can order polyfil in bulk for $2.50 a POUND. Yes, you heard me right. $2.50 a POUND. Not only is it .50 less then what I paid for 12 oz., you actually get 4 more oz included in that price. Sigh. 

I also found out I can buy a bulk case of 24 pillow forms from them for around $60. If I was to buy 24 pillow forms from a craft store where they are sold for around $6-10 apiece I would end up paying upwards of $240. I decided I am going to start buying all of my craft supplies from online suppliers where I can buy them in bulk for much less than I would pay at a retail store.

Lesson Learned?  I'd say so.
