I am looking forward to the show in San Diego January 16 & 17, and have cut and sewn many bears for the event.  The problem is--I'm running out of polyester fiberfill stuffing and need to order bulk stuffing in a hurry.  Today I went to the local mall in hopes that Joann's Fabrics would have some stuffing.  To my surprise, the erstwhile local Joann's outlet is no longer there.  The building where Joann's used to be is now occupied by, of all things, a dialysis center!  The mall was full of last minute shoppers, marked down holiday items, and kids in line for Santa's lap. 

Anyway, I am in dire need of about 25 pounds of stuffing, and some plastic pellets as well.  Can anyone recommend a reliable source for ordering these items?  I want to bring new bears to the show in San Diego, but first I have to get the stuffing.  Thank you all for any leads you can provide.

Thank you for the suggestion.  I will go to the Walmart website and look there.

Searching the Walmart website for "polyester fiberfill" only turned up references to dog beds filled with polyester fiberfill.

Do you have a Walmart close by?  As Joanne said, try them ..Skip their website, it can be confusing.

Yes, there is a Walmart about a mile away.  I can take the bus there on Saturday.  We have a good bus system in this city.

I know they sell polyester fiberfill at this Walmart in the craft section.  I think they are pretty much all the same.
