lots of coupons in their mailer...
sale runs from 3/6/11 to 3/12/11

Lindsey 03-05-2011 01:12 PM

Can you use them all at once? I thought they would only accept one per visit?

Lindsey 03-05-2011 01:17 PM

It says on coupon "limit one coupon per regular priced item"
some are just for fabric, some are for notions, and most are 40% off. There is one coupon for 50% off good on on regular priced item (can be used for anything not on sale).OOPS, there are two coupons for 50% off. I like to go around and look at their stuff NOT on sale and stuff I could use; then use their coupons on them.

that's what I am going to do !!

Be careful. Sometimes almost everything is alread on sale so hard to use the coupons. I have to be good and not buy anything until I've emptied at least one tub of fab. {{{how fast can I sew and still work full time?}}}}

even Michael's coupons !!

kathdavis 03-05-2011 04:54 PM

You can use one from each source. So, I can use one from my flyer, one from the Sunday paper ad, and one from an email from JoAnn's. Then I could use one coupon from a competitor, like Hobby Lobby or Michaels.

I am thinking about going tomorrow but I hate going on the weekends. SOOOO many people. Just not sure I will have the time to go again later. And it seems that when they do big coupon sales like this EVERYTHING is marked down like a 1.00 so you can't use the coupons. Seems like a big ploy to get you in the store. I will still end up going though

just get there at opening and it gets busy as you are leaving.

cizzors 03-05-2011 06:04 PM

Is it just my Joanns? I was just in there Monday and I swear they haven't changed their fabric wall at all in the last 6 months or more. I'm bored with the selection. I'll stay home and sew.

I need another pair of scissors, a seam ripper, maybe some June Taylor printer fabric...their add does not show any of these items on sale. I will find out.

CarrieAnne 03-05-2011 07:31 PM

I am going Monday!

justlooking 03-06-2011 05:02 AM

I'm heading to JoAnn's right after church with coupons in hand.

justlooking 03-06-2011 05:03 AM

I agree, it is a ploy to get you in the store! Isn't that what they do best. Not just JoAnn's but a lot of the stores.

mhuskins1 03-06-2011 05:07 AM

murfreesboro tn
40% any regular priced item

20 % total purchase
hancoks will use them too !!!!!

I have been allowed to use ones from mail and ones received on-line. Two sources.

dreamer2009 03-06-2011 07:21 AM

In this day and age...if you go into a store and "can't" control your spending it is not the stores fault(ploy).
Any store can run so called (ploys) but we are adults and we decide if we go; so why blame the store.
Yes, there is a lot on sale but there are things not on sale( great for the coupons) which are the things we normally don't think of because we are so focused on fabric. I have always done well when they run coupon commotion.

debbieumphress 03-06-2011 07:51 AM

Dreamer2009 - you are enabling us. Everyone enjoy, I am not goingm, I"m not, I"m not....I am instead going to keep cleaning my room. Our Joann's lets us use all we want as long as the barcode on each coupon is different, and then on top of all that I get 10% off everything for being in Project Linus and a quilt guild. Wowser - no I am still not going.

judith ann 03-06-2011 08:07 AM

I used the 40% off coupon yesterday at the Joann's store in Mason City Iowa.
Mary was the clerk.She was so helpful.The coupon would not work on the singer sewing machine carrier that I brought up to the checkout.She said hold on and went and found me a nice carrier that the coupon did work with.
Thanks Mary.Saved me $28.00.
Very friendly helps in that store.

Nice when you get a great sales lady!

DirtyPaw 03-06-2011 11:12 AM

Try a search on your computer. If I recall correctly they do have online sales too.

Every time you go to your car and return to the store is a separate visit. My hubby asked me why I had three identical charges to JoAnns one day. I told him I had three 40% coupons and I bought three FQ bundles - one at a time.

Only depends on how you feel about standing in the checkout lane several times.

judy_68 03-06-2011 02:32 PM

I don't think they will let you use more than one coupon on each item here.

well there was plenty there to buy this morning that was not on sale !!
all coupon sales at the store are not the same...they change :)

brushandthimble 03-06-2011 04:02 PM

I will try to go tomorrow, there are 2 things i am looking for; a cutting mat approx 6 x 12 or so, and a rolling cart (for yarn?). With luck I will find both and be able to get both with coupons.

Lindsey 03-06-2011 04:31 PM

Yeah usually what I want is on sale already. so I want a quilt book and some notions. anyway i'll go walk about and check things out tomorrow. Have a ton of coupons and really nothing except the book i really want.

I don't go out to the car. I simply stand there and have the salesperson ring the item up three different times....three different receipts..one trip to the store.

Ramona Byrd 03-06-2011 04:34 PM

I tried using two coupons one day and they were refused. Just one coupon per day per person.
