I managed to get back to WalMart 3 times and probably stocked up on
500-600 skeins at 2 different stores for 10 cents each. I haven't
been back so I don't know if they sold out or not.
Today, my husband got a "crate" of bullets so heavy I can't bring it
in off the porch. I called the office to tell him and he laughed and
just said, "Think of it as floss for men". Hmmmm. Moni

I just had to laugh at this, because I went to a different Walmart
today, (in Plymouth NH) and bought 258 more skeins. They made the
staff scan each individually ( unlike the other walmarts I had been
to), so four of us lined them all up so the girl could use the
portable scanner on them all. It was fun, and the store was quiet
(thankfully)!!.
When I got home, DH said he would have done the same ting if it was
coax cable...........or ammo for his guns!!
Men!!!! They can be understanding in their own weird way!'

With mine it's golf balls. I'm sure if he found them on sale for 10c
each, he'd think nothing of buying enough to fill the trunk.
A few months ago, Hancocks had DMC half-price, and after cruising the
store to see if there was anything that interested him, he went back to
the car and his book. He seemed rather amused that I was just grabbing
handsful from the bins (no shopping list; I took colors that I use a lot
of and MLI uses a lot of and Silver Lining uses a lot of), and was even
more amused when I came out with a 12-foot receipt.
Of course, it's not HIS money, so he could afford to be amused.

Why do you need so much floss?

There are less and less local places to purchase floss so almost all
my needlecraft purchases are done by computer these days. I'm also a
collector/gatherer who enjoys walking into my craft room and having
everything available for any craft project I want to do.
Since I don't work, I have lots of crafting time. My Mother was my
craft teacher, so when I lost her earlier this year, I brought much of
her craft supply home with me. I was her main caretaker, so I find
myself with much more free time suddenly and continue stitching,
quilting, knitting etc. for her as well as for myself.
Things are getting a bit out of hand in the craft room. Quilting
takes a lot of space with all the fabric I have and scrapbooking is
taking more space every day. Counted crossstitch is still one of my
favorite things to do. I also collect books, especially mysteries,
inspirational, crafting and reference books.
Back to the original question - why so much floss. I find just
looking at floss makes me want to stitch something. Right now I
probably have more than 4 complete sets of the DMC line and it is very
comforting to know I can start any project I want without stopping to
order supplies or running all over town hunting them down.
