I did quite well today at JoAnn for once. I got 3 yrds of batik for quilt backing and 2 spools of cotton perle for just over $23. I took my flyer with me and told the sales clerk that I wanted to use the 40% off coupon for the fabric. It was $12.99 a yard. She said there should be a 50% off coupon and found one and then she said "Let's see what we can do for the thread." She used two 40% off coupons on the thread. Full price for the fabric alone would have been over $40 with tax.
I hadn't planned on such expensive fabric for the backing, but I couldn't find anything I liked that was less. So I figured with the 40% off coupon it would be less expensive than the LQS. I still have other coupons in the flyer and a few more days to use them and I need more fabric for backing for other quilts. I do wish they would make the flyers easier to use though. I'm so glad the sales lady was so helpful.
