I like Hobby Lobby too. The tend to carry older lines of fabric that disappear from LQS quickly. Their personal line which is Brother Sister Studio Designs is usually good quality. I agree that their inventory doesn't change up very often. You are right if you use a 40% off coupon the batiks are more affordable (just like that other fabric store in town!). The only real issue I have with them is that they will only take their own coupons and we only get 1 HL coupon every other week in our local newspaper.
