Since I learned what I have to do to shop at this local Hancock's Fabric or a JoAnn's I don't have any problems. It's like planning for a battle. If I have a coupon I tell the checker what item I want to use it on and get that rung up first. I say with each item if it is on sale and what precentage off. I asked with each item what was the price that it rang up for. I double check each rack for hidden bargains and there are a lot hidden that seem to be pushed to the back or underneath a stack. I seldom buy fabric at JoAnn's so don't have the cutter problems there.
