Sometimes the sale prices are even better than using the coupon so I don't have a problem with that. I always have a list of things I use around the house other than sewing such as mailing tape, glue, storage containers, duck tape, picture frames etc. If all else fails I use it to buy a kids craft or toy and give it to charity at holiday time. Or I give it to another customer, they are usally very grateful and it makes me feel good. All stores have the coupon complaints but at least a craft store has a lot of other possibilities.
