When did the price of burlap get so high?

[DirtTime]

I was thinking of getting some burlap to make a hunting blind for my wife instead of just a brush blind per her request. $20 for 9 feet? This stuff used to be like $1 a yard in fabric stores.

Is there a camo pattern printed on it? If so, that raised the price three times the cost of plain burlap.

In the past I have used just plain brown burlap, and let it sag and twist. Worked ok.

Yes, it's camo. I had a few sheets until three years ago when I gave them to one of my neighbors. He was using an old wood swing set to make a stand and I gave him the burlap to put around the bottom to have two tiers.

Wallyworld has some for $10. 12' long and will be enough to wrap around a couple trees.

My dad killed a crap load of deer from a blind made from brown burlap with a custom rattle can paint job. Didn't look pretty, but it was effective.

Amazon was the $20(+) stuff, even for just plain old brown. Amazon isn't the lowest prices anymore. Free shipping is nice but some items I can buy from another place and even with shipping it costs less.

$13 down the road from me here.

 

Appreciate the feedback from everyone, thank you.

 

 

 

I'll probably just grab a couple of the Walmart sheets. It doesn't have to be pretty, just something for when she gets figity.

I saw $11 for 9ft and 15 choices of camo but not sure how much you need

Last week I picked up a 54"x12' piece of camo burlap at home Depot for $10 in the off season you can usually get them for less than $3

Had to make sure new brake lines are OK ( verdict still out ) so I drove down to Walmart. I picked up two of the $10 12' sheets.

Walmart tries to be sneaky the past 6 months or so and have an item marked or listed at one price then when you cash out it's a higher price. Politely told the attendant the price was ringing up wrong at $14, and she corrected it after checking the price herself. I thanked her and came home.

 

Be setting things up Sunday when I'm up in the area re-sighting the CVA.
