I too haven't been to Jo ann's in awhile. However, I cleaned the sewing room saturday and immediatley couldn't find anything when it came time to sew - no machine oil, no pattern, nothing! UGH! Should have gone to jo ann's then I would have found everything!

I'm not tempted when I stay home. All I need to do is look in my closet, my dresser, my files and supply drawers to be reminded.
Down to one trip a month to buy a particular item I might need. That's a whole lot less shopping than I used to do!
As I'm not in the market for a bigger house, what I have is mostly enough for at least 5 years. Then, I'll reconsider more frequent trips as needed.
Being more frugal is such a relief to my monthly budget : )

Haven't been to JoAnn's in over a month, since I had knee replacement. My husband said that he can't believe JoAnn's hasn't called looking for me since I was usually there at least twice a week. I told him, "Think of all the money I've saved this month." I'm venturing out tomorrow for the dentist and JoAnn's is at the top of my list.
That explains the big sign at JoAnn's---"Has anybody seen Kathleen???". lol
I'm glad your are healing and getting out and about. See you at sewing club.

I had a really good friend who was the manager of a JoAnn's and she and I were in competition with each other...she called my "studio", JoAnn's Basement. Then she would brag about how many brown bags of fabric and notions she gave to friends from her stash when they would visit. Loved it! For the last 3 months I've been shopping from my "basement", and have found everything I need! I'm saving for a trip so am very happy with myself that I "stashed" when I did. Especially with today's economy.
