I usually rotate between getting thread (I buy the large 100% cotton gutterman thread) or Mary Ellen's Best Press......usually one or the other is not "on sale". If they are on sale, I buy the rotary blades. But, it is getting like Hancock's fabric store......"everything" is on sale, best buy, or whatever can be excluded from the coupons. Don't forget that Michael's stores accept other stores' coupons.
