I love the coupons from Michaels, Hobby Lobby and Hancocks that I can use at Joann's. My hubby calls me the 'Joann coupon queen'. I buy very little there that either isn't on sale or with a coupon.
You and my wife both work the coupons and sales at JoAnns. Their prices are too high to start with and the coupons just make them a bit more affordable.
I have a bunch of Singer machines that need the lube, and more tubes than I know. If used sparingly as it should be the tube of lube will last a very long time. I've got a couple of the old metal tube of the lube and it's better than the current stuff.
When I find it, I buy it. If need be you can always use it for barter material. But each machine should have it's own tube as far as I'm concerned.
