The local JoAnns will only take their own coupons. They put so many restrictions on purchases that it's frustrating to go there. Michael's will take a JoAnn coupon but not if it is for fabric because they don't carry that. They will only take one coupon per day per customer. Hancocks only takes their own coupons but the first Wednesday of the month Sr Citizens get an additional 15% off the total order.
Now.....there is a JoAnn Etc about 40 miles from me that will take every JoAnn coupon you have and honor them if you have the valid items for each. I have told this to the manager at the local store and her excuse is "They will be fired if they are caught". This is the same manager who told me 12 years ago that she would not take an AMERICAN EXPRESS $100 bill (left from a trip) unless I spent more than $50 of it. I've had a handful of occasions to call corporate because of her and now I drive once every other week to the larger, more friendly one 40 miles away.
PS......I do not buy anything anymore unless it's on sale or I have a coupon.
