That's weird that your coupon had that clause. I thought the coupons were the same for everyone. My coupon only excluded doorbusters - and the normal Simplicity machines, sewing machines, etc standard clause that is on all of them.

I went to Hancock's first. I liked the sewing machine wheelie cart that they had there better than the one at Joann's. It was $10 more but I'm happy to pay the extra if it saves me frustration. I love my new case :) I bought the deluxe bobbin winder from Joann's. I was given the regular one and it didn't seem to want to wind a M bobbin so I got the deluxe and it seems to wind a bobbin just fine. Now if only that had a towa gauge so I could figure out how tight to adjust the tension disc on the winder lol. Getting a towa gauge is on my to do list...

I had a great sewing day and am glad I went out. I almost always get what I want when I do shop on Black Friday. I am looking forward to the Cyber Monday deals now...

Our store here does that a lot, too. Everything on sale. Why bother going? If I'm in that area, I stop in, but don't make any special trip.

I didn't get my best deal on Black Friday cause I wasn't there; got mine Wednesday at Hancocks. Bought fleece and several fabrics and everything was 40%-50% off plus it was military appreciation day so I got an additional 15% off after showing my i.d card.

My Daughter went to Joanns and got a lot of stuff with several coupons. She called to tell me but, I didn't really need anything and didn't want to leave my laundry to go. I would have gone if I had needed anything.

I don't go out on Black Friday. Or any day after holiday.

I am with Jan in VA. I never leave the house. Good day to stay home and sew!

My best deal was also my only deal. LOL! My 19 year old daughter is autistic, and when we went to take turkey dinner to her grandma at the nursing home Thursday night, she insisted on stopping at Wal-Mart! They started their Black Friday sale at 8:00 P.M. on Thursday, so we were there while it was going on. They had a rolling sewing machine tote that was regularly $49.97 on sale for $24.97. And the best part was, I didn't have to buy it for myself! Free is an even better deal! LOL!

Jan, I am with you. I can actually do enough damage right here on this computer shopping all the sales I want from my desktop! But that was a heck of a deal on the scissors, well worth the time and effort!

I wouldn't go out and fight that mob for anything! Our JoAnn's does the same thing. Just about everything is 10% off, and since the coupons excludes sale items, it isn't any good.
