I went to my local JA and find a piece of fabric $1.00 off. OK so I get 2 yards so #2.99 x 2 #5.98. They have always let me use my coupon against the original price so I have 50% coupon off $6.98 would be $3.98. This time he says no I can't use the coupon and because I am not using my coupon the $1.00 per yard doesn't apply either. Talk about a catch 22. So, in other words, in order to use the coupon you must buy something, anything that is not on sale and then get the store discounts on whatever else you buy. I won't be going back to that store, oh yes, during this hassle 4 other ladies laid down all of their items and left.
