True confession time. I am SO powerless!!
A couple of weeks ago, three women here in work asked me to teach them quilting. How could I say no?! I knew about the BIG Joann's sale last week and kept warning them that that was the week to get the basics, especially big ticket items like the mat, ruler, and rotary cutter. They committed to the class on Friday so we went shopping. I was so good -- didn't buy a thing. That day.
Saturday. Went to the Joann's near home. Decided that if I was going to teach a class, I'd better get a duplicate set of everything so I could leave it at work and not lug it back & forth. Ohhhhhh, so bad! About $200 later, I had everything from a new rolling machine case to a bunch of fat quarters I really didn't need. Fortunately, EVERYTHING, even things not marked, was on sale. I couldn't even use the coupons I had.
My daily mantra is now "STAY AWAY FROM JOANN'S.... STAY AWAY.."
