Lucky find
 
I went to our local Joanns this morning, (they are closing and opening a larger store about 10 miles away), to find out that a the prices went way down, 75% off all fabric, but you had to buy the whole bolt, 75% off all books, and 75% off all quilting items, wow I got about 15 new rulers, 8 new books, oh and all thread was 90% off, so I stocked up on that too. I think I am set now. :p:p:p:p:p

Wow! That is some lucky find!! Our new JoAnns is supposed to open March 7th (or 9th) can't remember. I am excited.

You probably saved them $ in moving expenses. I'd call that a "win-win" situation. Good for you!:thumbup:

Wow!! Were you in the right place at the right time. Good for you. Enjoy your stuff, and go quilt.

jaciqltznok 01-29-2012 06:01 AM

ours in OKcity is moving as well,, BUT, they had a company come in to liquidate the stock and holy cow flies...the prices all went UP...and the GOOD threads actually got moved, so NO bargains there at all! I was very upset after driving 2 hours to get there!

Steady Stiching 01-29-2012 06:26 AM

Wow you got lucky. When ours closed they went to a liquidator and the prices were a joke....not even 40% off.

MargeD 01-29-2012 06:32 AM

Lucky you. I rarely find bargains like that, although to be honest, I would have to leave the apt. and my arthritis doesn't always let me do that. It's tough to get old, but I'm happy you got such great deals.

Lori S 01-29-2012 07:04 AM

Wow , I would love to see a photo of that haul! Did you need a truck to get home? it makes me think , of my Dad. whenever there was a good bargain going on , and we would get all excited... he would say "better take the truck!"

quiltlin 01-29-2012 07:13 AM

WOW!!!! What a find!

EagarBeez 01-29-2012 07:17 AM

wow!! Hit the fabric jackpot

craftymatt2 01-29-2012 07:29 AM

Good for you, when our JoAnns moved, they just pack up and take the stuff to their new store, we never get deals like that.

Lavada 01-29-2012 07:29 AM

our joannes is a joke

dd55 01-29-2012 08:02 AM

That sounds great! I hope they move closer to you not further. :)

penski 01-29-2012 12:38 PM

our 2 Joanns did that about a month ago at one of the stores i got some good deals, at the other store when i was in there it looked like the employees had a lot of stuff held back for them to buy !!and the public was not able to go thru it and purchase any of it, needless to say there were a few of us customers that were upset about it !!

jrharry 01-29-2012 12:53 PM

Wow! Happy for you! Enjoy!

wc00007 01-29-2012 01:51 PM

You were very lucky.Wish I would come across some deals like that.

Stitchit123 01-29-2012 04:29 PM

2 of our stores are being moved into 1 building and all their employees were given pink slips and told they have to re-apply for their jobs..my 2 favorite ladies are both within 17 months of retiring from the one and only job they ever had and because they did not make it to 30 they will not be receiving their full retirement package and to top it off there is no need for them to re-apply because this new store will not be carrying much fabric etc.. to bring in younger customers who do other crafts like scrap booking and jewelry makers.I left the store and left my already cut fabs sit I will never spend another penny in any of their stores if this is how they treat hard working loyal employees- P*SS on them.Upon getting home I sent them an E-mail letting them know that I would be sure to spread the word of the shabby treatment of these 2 women Shame on JoAnns

CLMQuilter 01-29-2012 05:42 PM

Congrats you hit the JackPot for sure. Enjoy all of the things you got.

Wow, lucky you! Enjoy all your goodies.

Mzjwest 01-29-2012 08:14 PM

Wow! that's like giving it away..... BETTER than a sale!! But, bad news is they are closing the fabric department. Hopefully you have someplace else to purchase....whenever you run out! :)

fmhall2 01-30-2012 06:59 AM

Boy, that was great. You'd better show us what you make now with this great find.

sewnsewer2 01-30-2012 07:08 AM
