I don't live near any Joann's or anything like that so I have to buy at my LQS and they don't usually have percentages off. One shop an hour away gives me 15% off because I drive there instead of going to the shops in my town. But, one day about a month before Christmas she has a huge sale. She opens at 6 am and if you come in your pj's, you get 40% off anything. 7 am you get 35% off, etc. Also, she lets you pick out everything you are going to buy a couple of weeks before the sale. I was the first person in and she grabbed my box of fabric (had my name on it) and I paid for it, in my pj's, and drove home. That's the best deal I can get. I live in a tiny town and all the cities around me are less than 15,000 people so shopping at a Joann's will never happen unless I travel hours away. I'm envious of all of you.
