Our Jo Ann's store will take the coupons from other stores only if it is what they sell, rulers, mats, glue, etc. The cashier said the coupon at the register wouldn't take it, but when she scanned it , it then went through...and she was the manager. She wasn't happy about it either!
I did notice that Michael's coupon will not let you get magazines with their coupons, take your Jo Ann's coupons there, it allows you to use the coupon! it doesn't say " no books or magazines". I wanted to purchase a American Girl doll book for a gift, Michael's wouldn't allow the coupon, it was 21.00, went back later in the week with my Jo Ann's coupon, got it 40% off!
