Looking for affordable t-shirt fabric, online or around Albuquerque

Can anyone suggest a place to buy reasonably priced t-shirt fabric, online or in the general Albuquerque area?
My parents-in-law recently moved to Rio Rancho, a short ways north of Albuquerque. My mother-in law makes night shirts, and she tried one local shop (Hancock Fabrics), but t-shirt fabric was $12-15 per yard. At that cost, a night shirt may cost $60, making it cheaper to order a nice night shirt online.
A quick Google search turns up a handful of fabric, quilting and craft stores in this area, but I'm hoping for the off-chance that someone can recommend a place, or some reliable online options. Thanks!

pickypicky has pretty much nailed it. Some of the Wal-marts are carrying fabric again. It's a hit-or-miss proposition. I am not sure of their locations on the West side.
I sign up for the mailing lists, and use the coupons. JoAnn, Hobby Lobby, and Hancock all have online signup available. Hip Stitch may carry a few knits, but it's a small shop. I haven't been to Nob Hill Fabrics yet, or Stitchology.. the rest are pretty much quilting stores.
In Santa Fe, which isn't too far, there is Santa Fe Fabrics. They carry high-end fabrics, but really gorgeous stuff. It's not likely to be very inexpensive, though.
Besides Denver Fabric/Fabric mart online, there's Fashion Fabrics. Fabric Mart has a limited selection, but good fabric at decent prices. I have ordered from all of these without any problems.

Ugh, it was late last night... There is a subject thread at Pattern Review which covers all sorts of sources to buy fabric.
One blogger assembled a list, and a additional, which has a link to the first post.
Also, list published by this blogger. She updated it here.
A lot of these are repeats, but people do talk about their experiences with the companies, which is helpful.

Denver Fabric sells Cotton Jersey for 4.95 a yard. Is that more the speed?
