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

**Gramby** · 08-02-2012, 06:01 AM

My JoAnn's store tells me only one coupon per item. So if you use say a 40% off you can not combine it with the extra 25% off on that item. It is something to do with their computer system because they have tried to over ride it before. Even if they have to do a price adjust it will not take the extra 25% off. So, I always shop the sale items and use my coupon for those things. Also, most of my coupons always say they exclude the GO products but they work on them anyway. The ladies at our store try and use every coupon even if they don't think it will work. They are great! I even had one of the clerks give me some Elvis fabric for a project I was working from her own private stash!

That's not quite the math, I think. If the scissors were originally $20 and you had a 50 % coupon, the purchase price would be $10. Then you would get 25% or $2.50 off the $10, so the scissors would be $7.50. I think the percent change in price would be 62.5%, which still isn't a bad deal--but I'll bet JoAnn's won't let you use both coupons on one purchase. froggyintexas

Regarding: "I'll bet JoAnn's won't let you use both coupons on one purchase"
To clarify, it is not 2 coupons. They are discounting all sewing scissors in the store 50% to anyone who walks in the door. If you have that coupon, it will take an additional 25% off the discounted (not orig) price. You are only presenting 1 coupon to the cashier.

My apologies Johanna. You started a thread about scissors being a really good deal because they were 50% off and then an additional 25% would be taken off with the customer appreciation 25%off total purchase coupon. I jumped your main point here and added confusion. I am sorry for this.

If a customer is buying a regular price item with the 40% coupon (which is on the back of the flyer), that item won't receive an additional 25% off~~at least at my JoAnn's. The scissors are a good deal. Planning to be at JoAnn's when it opens.

Along with the rest of you

No. it means extra 25% off after you take 50% off. So that means 25% X 50% (new price) = new cost

or 50% +12.5% = 62.5% off.

So, if they are $10.00, sale price is $5.00 and the extra discount makes them not $2.50, but $3.85, still not

a bad deal.

I have the best Joann's near me. The last time I was in there (and my hubby calls me 'the coupon queen' when I go there), I had 50% off Joann's coupons, 40% off Michaels, and 40% off Hobby Lobby coupon. I used them, and she handed me back the HL coupon and said she had another Joann's 50% off under the counter and proceeded to use it!! They are great there. By the way, since Micahels will only let you use one coupon at a time, Joann's will just allow one of theirs to be used at a time. Joann's also will take Hancock's coupons. Coupons at Joann's have saved me a lot of money!!!

This is great. I'm encouraging my 15 yo granddaughter to be interested in quilting and want to fix up her own sewing basket with essentials. I'll get her scissors this weekend.

Well, not exactly. If they do honor that coupon, they will probably take 25% off the 50% off price. So if the scissors are $20, they will probably take 25% off $10, not off the $20. But, still a savings!

All quilting notions will be 50% off also. My 25% off total says it cannot be used with other coupons. But, the sissor sale is not a coupon, it's a sale, which means you should get both discounts. Yes, they do take the discount off before the coupon, so it won't add up to 75% off sissors.

My JoAnn's let me use a 40% off one item and 50% of one fabric cut. 2 coupons. I got a new mat and some fabric too.
