I also have a policy of not buying anything unless it is with a coupon and/or on sale at JoAnn's. I get just as much a thrill walking out of the grocery store after doing my homework before going and buying the promo items and using coupons on top of that and saving bundles. Last week I PAID 89.00 for what I got, but got $58.00 off as savings! I find it fun-like a game-and a challenge to see how much I can save! I live about 40 min away from Joann's here and don't drive so DH has to take me everywhere. Not that he complains, but I never get enough time at JoAnn's because he gets bored to death waiting for me and I don't enjoy it when I am so rushed! Oh, to have a quilting friend to go with!!!!!
