I am a "fan" of Pick Your Plum on facebook. They have daily deals on craft supplies. When they sell vinyl, it is like $1.25 for a 9x24 sheet. I order quite a bit whenever they offer it. 

Hobby Lobby is my other store of choice, but only with a 40% off coupon in tow.

I asked this question a week or so ago, and someone recommended CraftVinyl.com.  I ordered some things a few days ago, and they shipped yesterday.  The website says they'll match any vinyl prices anywhere (online or in a store).  They had a pretty good selection of colors, and I ordered quite a bit for $40.

After keeping an eye on that thread, expressions vinyl is still cheaper, by 10 cents for a 12x24 sheet. Not a huge difference, but every little bit helps. craft vinyl does price match, but what's the point when expressions vinyl is cheaper? I placed the same order on expressions and craft, and here's the breakdown:

 www.expressionsvinyl.com - 5 sheets of 12x24 vinyl, $9.45 for vinyl, $6.00 for shipping, = $15.45

 www.craftvinyl.com - 5 sheets of 12x24 vinyl, $9.95 for vinyl, $5.95 for shipping = $15.90

 You could get craftvinyl.com to price match and save your 5 cents for shipping, but that's a lot of work for just 5 cents cheaper shipping. The only way I'd see this being worth it is if craftvinyl is carrying a color that expressionsvinyl doesn't, which is possible because craft vinyl boasts 56 colors, while expressions vinyl has 37.

 Anyways, there's a good breakdown for all you vinyl crafters.

are these repositionable? i would like to make some sayings for on the wall but don't want to tear apart the wall when i move them or if I make a mistake.

I've had hit and miss results with repositioning vinyl on the walls. One time, it was completely unusable after it peeling it back off, and took off a bit of the paint. Another, it was fine and stuck right back on. Same kind of vinyl, same type of paint, except the one that took off the paint was glossy and the other was a matte. No idea if that makes any real difference.

is it easier to work with sheets or larger rolls? maybe it doesn't matter to much?

It really just depends on how much of that color you'll use. I have just a couple rolls of vinyl in black, white, and a blue that I love, but the rest is just sheets. Also, its going to depend on the size of your project, if you want to do a larger project, you'll obviously want to use a roll of vinyl.

It doesn't matter. I buy larger rolls in popular colors, like black, white, and brown, but as soon as I get the rolls I cut them into 12x12 sheets. The rolls are just typically a bit cheaper, since you're not paying for the labor involved in cutting them to size. Everything else I buy in 12x12 sheets.
