Folks I'm no fan of Walmart by any means but had to go there to get a couple things I cannot get anywhere else in town for my pets. I was thrilled to see they restocked embroidery thread and have a very nice selection. We don't have any craft stores here and two very small fabric stores that are charming and quaint but don't have a lot due to restricted space. Wally World had discontinued the floss, I was so disappointed. I had to resort to yard sales and Goodwill, slim pickins indeed so I was extremely pleased to see they brought it back.

Kristina, I know what you mean by wanting to open up your own craft store. I've been thinking about that. But all I did was start a home-based sewing business.

Our Wal-mart stores stopped selling it too. The larger city stores have a very small selection of fabric now, and some stopped selling it.
The one Jo-Ann Fabric store closed and only one other one is still open (without traveling too far).
It makes a person want to go open a craft store you know? We have a Hobby Lobby, but their prices are expensive. I have to wait for a 40% coupon and then it's only good for one single item, and I have 20-25 minute drive to get there.

I have floss to barter. As long as you're not looking for a specific number - I can dig out reds, yellows etc. I just don't have it organized enough to see if I have a certain red for example.
 Let me know if you're interested.

Years ago walmart discontined all of their fabric and flosses etc. This made me upset. Now I have to drive to Hobby Lobby which is about 20 miles away onw way. So when I go I stock up on floss. I should be fine for about a year.

Yeah when Walmart discontinued stocking it, I had to figure things out too with floss. Although I'll admit it went down to like 10 cents or maybe even 5 cents a skien. I bought around 100 dollars worth from the 5 local walmarts that were close to me in NYC! I see it's back in stock here again. I remember though us right on this board contacting walmart about it! So many of us were no longer going to be able to buy floss locally!

Same here in KY. only problem ... everyone else thinks the same thing, and they don't restock it fast enough.

I've got to do better at bartering for things I need instead of buying if at all possible.
