I don't shop at Joanne's often, maybe once a year, but they've always honored my coupons at my local one. They've even applied the coupons on things I didn't think were eligible (like sale fabrics) and they have applied multiple coupons when I thought that wasn't eligible. May just be the local store. I walked out once with 6 yards of good quality quilting fabric and some batting for a total of $15.
