Thread: 75% off Sewing Scissors-JoAnns: This Weekend!!

I used to work there. Each store manager handles differently some times. When it says "includes sale priced items" when it is their markdown (not coupon) they are supposed to honor it. That fine print refers to coupon or "discount" as in Teacher Savings Card etc. If they don't give you the discount ask to see a mgr.

Then, down in the finer print, it says,

"Cannot be combined with any other discount or coupon."

The way the JoAnn's in my city handles it is they take the 25% off of all items, but not the coupon items. Ugh!

Every JoAnn store I've used a coupon does it differently. The ones that give you all the benefit of the coupons have managers that don't ask the main office what to do, they just do it. One manager said don't ask don't tell applies to Joann's perfectly and she's been manager for over 20 years. LOL

You are truly blessed. That is one thing that bugs me about the manager of our store... He's not my favorite person. In fact, I try very hard to avoid having him cut my fabric or check me out. I end up having to pray for him when I walk out the door.

My Joanns let me use the 20% coupon off total purchase even after I gave her a 40% off coupon for an item. So that was a nice surprise for me!! Once the check out girl did a 20% off coupon from under her register on her own without me even asking. I sure said thank you!!

Figuring out the actual Joanne's discount made me remember the first time DH and I we were trading in our car for a new one. The orginial trade in price given us by the salesman for our old car was so much that I actually thought we'd be getting the new car for almost nothing. Boy were we naive because after the manager 'checked out' our old car and we practically would have had to pay them to take our old car off our hands. Needless to say we didn't buy a new car from that dealer.
