No they were not $97. They were $1.97 for the package of 6!

Joyce,
I'm sure hoping that the first set of needles you described were 97 cents,
not $97. Not a good deal if they were 97 dollars.

I was in my local WalMart store today Looking for needles and stuff. [I did
get some nail polish, too for just what you said], but while I was there I
needed some more of those tapestry size 16 needles. I had to tell everyone
what I found.
In the sewing section they did have the blunt tip tapestry needles, But in
WalMart languge they were size 6. They had a package of 6 all same size,
but 2 different lengths for around $97
I asked my friend to look for the yarn and in that section they had needle
point needles. They are blunt and 5 came in a package I might be wrong but
by my touch the needle point needles seem to have an eye a little further
apart, but the eye length of the hole seemed about the same as the blunt
tapestry. The 5 needles they had 3 short ones and 2 longer package of 5 was
$1.49. Now this was the goodie I found. In the area where the yarn was and
these needle point needles, they had these metal yarn needle threaders.
There is 2 hooks on each side and they are flat metal hooks like crochet
hook. There are 2 different sizes -thick yarn and worstered weight yarn
size. Now I found something like this that I ordered from Neww Hampshire
the Keepsake Quilting group stores and it was not as large or sturdy as this
one and I paid from Keepsake over $7 plus shipping. WalMart had them for
$1.49.
I am all set now with my over 20 needles and 3 yarn needle threaders.
Check out your local WalMart. Mine is just a regular WalMart not one of
those super ones. They also restocked their fabric. They had gotten rid of
a lot of it.
Joyce
