I HOPE you mean fabric?!? :shock: ROFL

:lol: Yes - fabric... :lol: it's the fabric that needs sewing.

Though the rear could stand a few tucks, too. ;)

What? Someone didn't do their job ~ there are not different sales in differetn districts... it sounds to me like the Merchandising Manager didn't feel like hanging the sale signs or something ~ all JoAnn Fabrics have the sales!? (I used to be a merch mgr for them in a smaller store) Someone fed you a line of beans, corn & grits... I would be upset and call corporate and mention this to their DTL (district Team Leader aka the stores managers' boss). Sometimes when someone complains about something like this, a good DTL will give you a small gift card for your inconvenience. Be specific. I am not a complainer, but if management is not doing their job like this, the DTL needs to hear from the customer.

I am sorry you wasted your time and gas, hope you had a better day in other area :)

I concur

Since a computer keeps track of all the prices by SKU #, I thought it odd that their sales would NOT be national. Of course a computer could also adjust the price based on each store's id # if they wanted to but as for their sales flyers; it's a pain in the butt & big expense to make different sale flyers for different regions. Walmart can afford it but even some of their flyers state that merchandise may not be in all stores--especially at Christmas time.

Our new Joann's had a grand opening this week-end. Lots of 50% off on stuff plus the 25% off your total purchase. Great deals. Lots of long cutting lines; however, you could get your number when you go in and then shop until they call your number - like the ice cream store! When I got my number they were cutting #59 - mines was #93!

I saved $24.00 on a lavender print keepsake calico. It will be the back of a quilt I’m making for my daughter’s second wedding anniversary. I also saved $20.00 on a cream colored calico which I will attempt to make into a flutter wheel quilt. So I saved a total of $44.00 bucks. :-) :lol: :)

I went this afternoon, left without anything. Wanted some artificial flowers, even at 50% off they were way too expensive and not enough variety for what I wanted -- disappointed.

I signed up to receive the coupons online. Plus they were giving them out at the store last week.
