I live in Missouri and our calicos were not on sale either!!
One of the other things you have to watch is that if you have a coupon, make sure it comes off the highest price item - I have paid for things seperately because I have found that our JoAnns will take it off the lower priced item - not the most expensive even though the clerks say thats what it will do!!! I have a couple of receipts that I am going to take in after this sales is over to see if they will adjust price!! Also watch the end of bolt - its supposed to be 50% off the price. If that particular fabric is on sale that week its supposed to give remanent at 50% off the price that its currently selling for at that time!!
