I'm another Connecting Threads fan. Also, I get sale flyers from JoAnn's, Michael's, Hancock's and Hobby Lobby (which is opening in our town in 2 weeks - color me excited!). Retirement + recession + more hubby/less money. I NEVER pay full price for anything. The clearance tables at Macy's & Pier 1, great op shop finds and coupons are my shopping mantras.
