The checkout lady at Wal-Mart today said, "It is so QUIET today!" I think the same thing as others, that people are waiting until Friday. It's going to be madness!

I was at a new store in Elk River(MN), yesterday, the lines were long, extremely long. The workers were helpful and friendly. I used every coupon they allowed. : ) I love a sale.

The fist full of coupons was burning a hole in my hand, but I resisted. We made a trip out to get toner, could just have well ordered on-line, because the store was out too. Spent my quarterly budget at quilt shows and LQS sales last month. On a diet until the first of the year. (:()

NO more lines of women jockeying for a better place in line. No line at all!...when you hear your number you go to the cutting table with your fabric to be cut! WONDERFUL. All the salespersons had been replaced...hooray... and everyone was especially helpful and pleasant.....WOW. What a pleasant surprise. I just might start going back to Joanns for things!

My store is now a superstore too. Trouble is here hardly anyone ever takes a number, so it becomes confusing for those that have been waiting. Personally, the quality of the fabric has gone down, so I rarely shop there for fabric. And I sure don't need any new rulers or pins. So I will just continue my internet shopping, thank you.

I went to that same new Joann in Marketplace Fair last Friday and was VERY disappointed in the amount of quilting fabric it had. I thought it had tons of clothes and craft fabric but was scant on cotton. What did you think of it?

I went to Joann's yesterday and did I hit the jackpot! I purchased $115. worth of merchandise and after all the coupons I gave them I ended up paying only $49. I couldn't believe it myself.

I went to Joann's yesterday and purchased $115. worth of merchandise. After all the coupons I used, including the 60% off, I spent only $49. I was amazed!

Didn't have a 60% coupon and don't care... the way they "work" the system and us, I have lost interest in JoAnn's. Our local one has made mistakes (which luckily I caught before walking out the door), told me I couldn't use one of my coupons (even tho' it was a different "scan code") and then wouldn't let me use my VIP card (10% off all). I sure don't feel like a VIP anymore... of course that changes with whomever is on the register... I might try some other JoAnns, but the one nearest to Amherst Ohio is for the birds.
