Drove down to the Lynnwood one today (Marysville and Everett, WA ones are smaller). Got some thread boxes cause one I have is breaking up from opening and closing so much. Got a rotary cutter (never have too many) and some batting, thread and a quilting notion I didn't have! The total was $50 but I saved $49 from all the sales/coupons! Can't beat that and the money came from two gift cards (Mother's Day and my BD) from my son and his family. Great way to spend some time! I also stopped in Hancocks on the way back (the only one close to me) and got a Simplicity pattern ($1/pattern) and some searsucker (50% off) to make a summer nightgown--if we ever get summer here!

I wish I had remembered to look at the June Taylor Shape Cut rulers :cry:

I saw a huge one (shape cut ruler) today while I was at JoAnns. It was hanging on a rack with some rotary cutters underneath of a sign that said "50% off". There was no price posted so I asked the price -- $47.++ but it wasn't on sale! Of course I had a 50% off coupon but it doesn't start until the 17th. How much you wanna bet when I go back they won't have any...

Oh, I'm going to have to go back with coupon in hand.

I got 8 dining chairs that need recovering and Joann has foam 50% off. You bet I'm going. Hope the microfiber is on sale too because I can't seem to get a hold of a coupon.

I also put my flyers in the car so they're with me all the time. Hate spending full price when I can get something at -40%.

Have fun!

Happy 4th all.......mj

Nay. Joanne's is not a priority for me. I don't care for the low quality fabric while their better fabrics are priced at or more than I can get quality brand names at my local shop. I've bought my quilting tools there at times with coupons, but I'm well stocked in rulers, mats and they don't carry Mettler thread which is the only one I use for quilting. Books are the only items I'm interested in at Joannes and with only one coupon each time I rarely go there. BTW, the closest one is over an hour away.
