S*H*E
D*I*D !!
JOANN"S called my name sooooooo loudly.
I bought
I bought
I bought
HOWEVER... at the bottom of my receipt...
it says my TOTAL SAVINGS were
$1,065.33
couldn't turn my nose up at that; could I ?

OMG!!! Sounds like you bought out the store... :shock: May I ask how much you paid???

I walked into our local Joann this morning & turned around and walked out... There had to be 50-75 people at the cutting table... And almost that many in the checkout line. :!:

Its how much you saved, not how much you spent. Now you have all that savings to spend elsewhere--that is the way it works, right? :)

OMG~~~LOVE THIS IDEA !!

Total paid was $ 458.68
all fabric
In and out in 2-hours.
this usually takes alot longer.

I really wanted to go there, but was too scared! Hour drive to the nearest, and the lines are always very long,couldn't imagine what they would be like today. Maybe next year.

:shock: :shock: :shock: That's AWESOME!!! What a great deal!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Wow, at least you got some GREAT deals!

great savings but i couldn't stand in line for 2 hours

I beat you! Spent $600 on flannel! (Posted pic in Main)!

What time did you go? There weren't more than 100 shoppers total by 10 a.m. at my store! Of course, everybody else had to go to the other side of the cutting table, because I had 4 cartsful!

I spent $32.00 at JoAnn's online.....lol

9 yds of fabric and a ruler. :)

I am trying not to stress out my Visa this season...LOL Last year it begged for mercy.

LOVE~LOVE~LOVE
to save as much as I can.
It's my motto

Here is a view of the back of my SUV after I spent 3 hours at JoAnn's this morning! All of the flannel is for Threads of Love newborn intensive care comfort items, and up to $500 of the $600 I spent will be reimbursed.
I don't get reimbursed as I didn't buy for a charity.
I donate it all to charity.

yes I did and those deals will warm alot of little ones :)

Paid cash this time.
didn't want to have to pay later
after finding something else to need.

I just want to know how much of it was mine? Did you remember your wonderful friend here? ROFL. Love to hear what you bought. Call me later and we can chat. Please???????/
*H*U*G*S* *L*U*C*K*Y*

Great for you. I didn't go even though it is 1 mi away.....No way
I hate the crowds.

Raining here so it is all still in back of SUV.
will probably run it to storage locker tomorrow.
I bought lots and lots of flannel.

Remember everyone Joanns has great sales tomorrow
and still good coupons...
I'm thinking should I or shouldn"t I....huuuum
maybe I should dream on it :)

It was about 8am. I had to get out early and back home so DH could go to work... main reason why I couldn't stand in line...
Had already been to Walmart, Toys 'r Us, and Target... :shock: :-D

YOU SHOULD have gone to Joann's first!!

Great savings.
I spent $46 and saved $205. Yeah - I love it.

I spent $11.45, saved 36.00. Just bought flannel to make pillow cases for the GK's christmas. Had to wait about 40 minutes to get to the cutting table, but everyone was in great spirits, and visiting with everyone, so not only did i save a lot, I had a great time! :lol:

Whoa! Good job !

I know... but for some reason my guilty conscience says... "get the kids' stuff first" :shock: :cry:

GOOD JOB !!

GOOD JOB !!

wow..I think everyone did real good :lol: :lol: :lol:

NOW DEB...
repeat after me...
FABRIC always comes first...

ROFLMBO!!!!!! I'll do better next time... I promise!!! :lol:

ROFLMBO!!!!!! You better...
you will give a bad name to quilters...lol

I had a great time too. We chatted with lots of other people waiting. There were just a couple of crabby people that you could tell didn't really want to be there. My MIL and I spent $150 and saved $227.

Wow, you must have had a ball. And what great savings. Share pics with us when you can.

Isn't it absolutely great when you wait long periods of time and people are generally not CRABBY.
I have been very fortunate when I have done the wait in lines for Black Friday.
Always friendly people to talk with and before you know it the time has gone so fast. Sometimes you learn incredible things from those you spend a short amount of time with.

Isn't that the first chapter in the Quilter's Bible? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Patti,
I'm going to be dumping it all into storage locker tomorrow if no rain.
No room for it here.
I make quilts for the abuse shelters and foster children so need lots of fabric...but not in house all at one time.

OOPS...DebinNY must not have read about that.
She will have an entire year to read up on it now...lol

Okay my friend, you need to pace yourself! There will be more specials later!!!

This should last til the sale next year and it will warm a lot of baby bums...lol
HOW could I pass up $1.29 a yard
