tableclothThis is not the lowest price on the 60 x 126 in. Rectangular White Tablecloth. Last year it was$6.30 but at least the price dropped from its usual $11 to just $9! It is shipped by Amazon so you can even get free shipping if you have Prime or spend over $25. At that price you may not even have to worry about laundry during Yom Tov!

Note that this cloth is 100% polyester so it is not fancy linen by any sort, still gets excellent reviews, and something to have extra of for Pesach. Stain resistant too.
