I buy thread a lot. 40% off of Guttermans $7.49 thread is good. Last week they had a $5 coupon. If you bought anything for at least $5 you got $5 off so, I bought more thread and that spool only cost me $2.49. I also bought the self-threading needles for $2.79 and used the 40% off coupon. Every little bit helps.
