My Joann's is almost my only choice for fabric. I've been going there for 20 years or so and I am known by those who have been there forever. There are never enough cutters or cashiers - I'm exaggerating.... Suffice to say - You know when there is a REALLY good sale going on. They got a ticket machine - finally - like going to the deli. That has helped. Their computers/registers always use the coupons in the most cost-savings way. My peeve is when EVERYTHING! is on sale and I can't use my coupons. I don't want no nasty fake flowers, thank you. They even started giving 10% off magazines (which, I admit, used to be my ploy). And yet, when the choices of vendors are slim - You're gonna find me at Joann's. And I usually do save more than I spend. Do check your receipt.
