A former sewing student of mine through middle school and then in a high school class is asst. manager at Angola's Joanns. Of course I sent students there and frequented there myself but was quite surprised when I was in the hospital I received a great well card for the employees of the store.
If I go in for something and it is one sale, I use the coupon for another spool of good thread.

I was in the Fort Wayne Joann's today and it was a mess! There was one employee who didn't bother to hide her stress over the store being in shambles. And it was quite obvious that she wasn't too happy to help me find what I was looking for. I don't go in there very often anymore because that is the usual service whether there is a store remodel going on or not.
I was talking to the lady who cut my fabric, who is always pleasant, and they expect the store to be in shambles for another 2-3 weeks. I brought up that Coupon Commotion is next week. If you have ever been to Joann's during Coupon Commotion, you will understand! It will be interesting to see how the sale goes!

you are lucky indeed - i never get to use my coupons because they have everything on sale - most is 5% or10% off which isn't much. i actually find better deals at local quilt shops that have QUALITY material on sale - some name brand for $4.99 to 7.99 a yard. i came out of the adirondack quilt shop in glens falls, new york with more fabric and spent less than at joanns. all brand names - that my local joannes does not carry.

It takes so little to make me happy!
JoAnns is about 20 miles from me (40 miles round trip) so I don't get there like I used to do.
With the cost of gas and the cost of lunch saving 10-20% ends up costing me more than I save.

Our JoAnn's is about 35 miles away. It has only been open about a year or so, and I have only been there once. When I lived in IL I was in Freeport JoAnn's on a regular basis. But we do have a Hancock's here in Greenville, two Hobby Lobbys and two Wal Marts.

Haha.. With Joanns, anything less than 30% off is not considered on sale! I'd wait for a regular day and use my coupon.
Yes coupon commotion is crazy. First day of Red Tag sale is crazy too!
I love getting those "branded" fabrics like Legacy, Debbie Mums on 50% off red tag price! Calicoes are like $1 - $1.50 a yard. Good for backings.

I was in JoAnn's yesterday and used both my coupons - the 40% and the 50%, which is rare. When I have an unused coupon, I buy a bag of batting if it's not on sale. Batting is too expensive at full price. Now I have a hexagon ruler, Yay! I did pay full price for a red piece of fabric, but it was good fabric and a nice color, so I only bought the 1/3 that I needed. My nearest one is 50 miles away so it only gets visited after Dr app'ts. It is clean and organized, but understaffed.
