I'm forever getting those discount coupons and can never find anything to buy. I am not allowing myself to buy any more fabric for a while because of financial reasons, also have too large a stash already. Last week I wandered around the store looking for something to buy with the coupon, finally decided to check out the books....you guessed it, they were already on sale, so I couldn't use the coupon. I think they plan it this way. I get so irritated with Joanns that I rarely go there anymore.
