Fiberfill Stuffing In Bulk

You know, after a time it's just not WORTH paying retail for those bags of stuffing at the fabric store.  When you go through 20 lbs. or more at a time on projects it's worth looking around for a better deal.
 
I'm fortunate to be within 75 miles of a place that sells it by the huge 'body bag' size at wholesale costs.  They have two grades, A and C (yes, they did have a B a few years ago).  The A is soft, white and sort of 'greasy' feeling.  It compresses down to nothing and it's more expensive than the grade C.
 
The grade C is yellow, a bit coarser, and compacts nicely to do a solid feel inside a toy.  I love the stuff, I get it usually 10 bags at a time, 20 lbs per bag, for $1.19 a pound.   The yellow shade is pale and doesn't make a difference inside due to it's color unless you're stuffing something semi-see through that's white. 
 
Monterey Mills Fabric Outlet is down in Janesville, WI.
 
They carry a ton of different fake furs, ones you can't find at the average fabric store, and they do ship via UPS/Fed-Ex too.  I recommend them, I've been getting my stuffing from them for over 18 years.
