I was avoiding hancocks this weekend for that very reason. Went in yesterday to get what I needed to finish weekly orders. The gal knows I'm in there all the time and let me have my 2 yards of fabric for the 40% off that doesnt start till this weekend. Then I go to joans with three coupons, I asked the gal at the counter if I could use all 3 and she looked at them and said yes. When she rang them up it kicked out the $20 off entire purchase, she gave it to me any way! It was my lucky day shopping so of course I had to go by the LQS! Not so lucky there,6 yards of batiks $75, spent what I saved at the other 2 stores, but I still feel like I did good for what I spent.
