Definitely Joann's with coupons and Walmart. It won't help you now, but I do know that for the last several years, Joann's has had all notions 50% off, plus an extra 20% off entire purchase the day after Thanksgiving. That is the only Black Friday shopping I do, and I get enough to hold me over for the year. It saves me a ton of money.
I used to be a Joann's store manager years ago, and I remember those Black Friday sales. Lines to the back of the store. People grumbling and nasty. That was before they had scanners. (I did learn to fly through those PLU codes. It has stood me in good stead doing coding where I work.) I said never again, and so far I have kept to it. I may reconsider, though, IF there was a good coupon, and ONLY at Joann's. :wink:
