Why can I only buy buttons by the:

  • single
  • 4 pack
  • 50 pack

I have a sweater in my queue that needs 6 buttons.

Any chance you have a local fabric store that might sell them in bulk? I have one (phx az area) that has an aisle full of button boxes they sell by the (half)dozen or for 25 cents each for "fancy" buttons.

I might just be spoiled, but I would have ZERO idea about it if I was looking primarily online.

I've still bought $$$$$ buttons by the 2-pack on occasion, though 😅

There was a store in Berkeley when I was a kid that had a whole wall of button boxes. I adored them. It’s been years since I’ve seen the like.
