			<description><![CDATA[ Plus Europe will have VAT taxes...which make our sale taxes here in the states look like chump change.
<br>
<br>
So between that, and out high volume of loss leader sales...I think that is why we pay so little compared to the rest of the world for DMC.

			<description><![CDATA[ I think the &quot;manipulation&quot; happens at the store level. Michaels and similar stores buy floss in large quantities which reduces their cost
considerably. They than put it out as a &quot;loss leader&quot;, in other words, they don&#39;t expect to make much, if anything on it, but they assume
you&#39;re going to buy something else when you come in the store which makes up for what they lost on the floss. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi, I notice you&#39;re in the UK like me. I use sewandso online and they charge 49p per skein. They have a flat rate of postage of a pound and it normally
arrives the next day. I also get all my waterlilies, and dinky dyes and other &#39;Martina threads&#39; from them! Hope that helps.x ]]></description>
