My Joanns let me use the 20% coupon off total purchase even after I gave her a 40% off coupon for an item. So that was a nice surprise for me!! Once the check out girl did a 20% off coupon from under her register on her own without me even asking. I sure said thank you!!

Thank you to the math whizzes for pointing out the actual discount when you get 25% off something that is already 50% off. I know the principle and use it, but the store wants us to not stop and think.

I'm not trying to be a bugger here, but check your receipts when you get into your car (if you can understand them~~I find them very confusing!). As I understand it their cash registers are set up to deduct the extra 20%-25% coupon off every thing but not those coupons that were rung up on the register.
As to how I found that out, one time I made a large amount of purchases and figured I would be spending about such and such... The actual total kind of blew my mind so I checked the receipt (and did the math in my car) and walked back to the checkout clerk where it was explained to me that the total purhase coupon did not take off an additional percentage of those items purchased with a coupon. That is when I decided to shop a little more carefully and to read the fine print.
Maybe all JoAnn's don't have the new registers.
