Good luck finding something thats not on sale so you can use those coupons. Its always difficult for me.

I think everyone of us should write to JA and pitch a fit. I am tried of going and never being able to use my coupons.Everything that I need to buy is on sale. I can not use my 40% plus my 10% off at the same time. What I did one day is I got in line 3 times to get all of my 40% off.I do however get to us my 10%off everytime.

I agree that it seems like the more coupons they offer the more things are already on sale. We had a new Joanns open in my general area and that was the case for each of their spectacular grand opening sales days. I am lucky if I can find one or two things to purchase with a coupon that isn't already on sale.

Thanks in advance.

That's what I do. They just won't allow more than one set of coupons per purchase.

I've always been able to use multiple coupons, as long as I have 1 item per coupon. I am on the store mailing list, and the email list, and the store gives me coupons when I shop. My daughter is also on the mailing list and sometimes gives me coupons to shop for her. I was only questioned once on the email coupons. I showed the clerk they were different bar code numbers and there was no more problem.

I hate it that stores jack up their prices so they can regularly give coupons or hold sales. I'm sure the 50% coupons draw us into the store and we buy more than 1 item, so it justifies their abuse. Personally, I'd buy more if they'd just lower everyday prices and drop the coupons.

In our store, it depends on who waits on you. Sometime they will let younusenall the coupons in one transaction, the next person will let you use only one ! Go figure!

Yep, I just did that and was able to use four or five coupons on regular priced merchandise. I was shocked, i didn't think they would let me, but the sales clerk took my sales flyer and kept clicking away then i had one that was 15% off the total. Now that was a bargain.

I've worked for JoAnn's several times over the years - you can use multiple coupons. The key is that each coupon you use has to have a different number under the scan code. If they tell you any differently, they don't know what they are talking about and they aren't following company policy! When they have "coupon commotions," they EXPECT you to use multiple coupons! They do use strategic management - they put things on sale for 20 or 30 percent off so that you can't buy those items with the coupons plus there are items that are excluded from coupon purchases. Typical business shuffle!! Happy Quilting!!

that is what I just did. They should not do different. It says per item....not per transaction. would face them on that one. I had 5 items and used 5 coupons. no trouble......

Yes! You can use a coupon for each item. If you get a nice clerk they will run everything you have through and get your best deal. Some of them will even put the VIP 10% discount on top of that if you have a VIP card through ASG, Quilting Society or whoever.

Joann's coupons are kind of a loss leader, since they are only good for "Regularly priced items". They will have items on sale 5% less or so, and then they will not use the coupon.
