Off to Joann's!
 
I'm finally off to Joann's today to use the gift cards I got at work for my retirement. I've been chopping at the bit waiting for the sale that starts today. I'm sure I will be coming home with a bundle of goodies! Yippee! :D

Ohhh, Have Fun!!!!

Lori S 01-05-2014 07:05 AM

Have fun ! Make sure to take your 25 % off total purchase coupon. I had planned on going .... but we have way too much weather .. snow and cold!

fabric lover 01-05-2014 07:14 AM

beaglelady 01-05-2014 07:25 AM

Sounds like a lot of fun!!!

Congratulations on your retirement, and have fun at Joann's!!

Congratulations on your retirement. Have fun shopping and make lots of quilts.

JustAbitCrazy 01-05-2014 08:51 AM

Congratulations on your retirement! Nice of them to get you gift cards. When I retired, all I got was shorted $20 on my final paycheck. They were really nasty people who didn't deserve me, as you probably already guessed...Happy to be outta there!

cinson7 01-05-2014 10:29 AM

Have loads of fun!!! hope you have a list for all the future sewing adventures

nygal 01-05-2014 10:43 AM

Have fun. I love Joanns. Especially when I can use their coupons!!

quiltingcandy 01-05-2014 10:50 AM

Have a great time! (I didn't realize a special sale started today. Need to check that out!)

klaws 01-05-2014 12:04 PM

Back from Joann's
 
Boy, did I ever get some good deals. I was able to use a couple 40% and a 50% off regular price items plus the 25% off total purchase coupon. I got 12 yards of fabric, a June Taylor creative cut ruler, a mini iron, a 60 mm rotary cutter, quilting gloves, a seam ripper, a marking pen and a couple little craft items. I had a $100 gift card. I spent 99.73 and saved a total of $106.60. That's what I call good shopping! Now I have to start on some projects that I have on my to-do list. That is, after I relax for awhile. :shock: It's 80 degrees here in FL today. I wish I could send some warm weather to all of you up North. I can at least send you some warm wishes.

Tartan 01-05-2014 12:05 PM

Congratulations but I was waiting for a picture.:)

MaureenT 01-05-2014 12:25 PM

We are having freezing rain, on top of all that snow...wish I could share!!

tessagin 01-05-2014 12:33 PM

They have some great sales going on. I had been wanting the June Tailor Shape Cut ruler and got it 50% off. That right there is $15.00. We don't have 80 degrees. We're at high 50s. Norther came in with 30 mph winds and 45 gusts. That all happened within 30 minutes from 68 degrees. Most of my family live in northern Indiana area, Ft. Wayne area and getting hit hard. I worry for them. I'm a mother!

You will love your 60 mm cutter!! I went, too, and spent $66 and saved $57---a good day!

lynnie 01-05-2014 02:15 PM

I never got coupons for this week, but did score big time. got 8 yds of backing Christmas fab for 2.49/yd and 2 more for binding. I saved a lot of money, so much money that the money I did spend didn't even count.

luana 01-05-2014 02:41 PM

You had a great day shopping, but, I'll take all the warmth you can spare. We are headed toward -23 tonight. Good time to stay inside and sew.

Amythyst02 01-06-2014 04:39 AM

Well sadly I missed yesterday, but I am still planning to go today since the 25% coupon is still good. And it sure sounds like you all did great in your shopping adventures!!!!

mjhaess 01-06-2014 07:25 AM

I was at Joanns with my friend last week...I dropped $190.00. Ouch......I need to stay away for a while....Have fun on your adventure....

Iraxy 01-06-2014 09:11 AM

Going to JoAnn's myself later on today. Got my 25% off coupon and my 50% off one regular priced item and going to see what damage I can do. Going to my LQS later on too. Yee haw Banner Day!

pojo 01-06-2014 09:19 AM

have fun klaws
come back to the char room

swizzy 01-06-2014 09:31 AM

Enjoy your retirement and happy sewing.
 
Wish Joannes had coupons here as we have had none
the past three weeks.

tessagin 01-06-2014 09:33 AM

Love gift cards. The sales are super.

tessagin 01-06-2014 09:36 AM

Why don't you google them and ask why. Maybe it has to do with the State of Oregon? I think there are some states that don't allow charge or credit cards. Weird.

Have fun shopping. I need to get there to restock some items, but it's been too cold for me to go out. It's 55 out now, but the temps are supposed to drop radically again. Brrr.

JanieH 01-06-2014 01:17 PM

Oh, fun, fun, fun - Retirement and JoAnn gift cards - you deserve it all!

Gretchen 01-06-2014 03:50 PM

Jealous! On both your retirement and your Jo-Ann's adventure!! Hope you enjoyed yourself! Sounds like you made out like a bandit! Have fun and enjoy your retirement!

sewbeadit 01-06-2014 04:14 PM

Have fun shopping for me too, I don't get to shop anymore as I have too too much stuff! Happy retirement too, now the fun begins.:thumbup:

jfowles 01-06-2014 09:01 PM

That 25% off coupon was great for batting that was already 40% off. Once in a while JoAnn's hits it across the ballpark.

GailG 01-06-2014 09:32 PM

Wow! Some of you really made good hauls at JoAnn's. I'm trying to say out of places like that for a while (well, until the next time anyway). Down here on the coast we're at 28 degrees, looking at 20 in the morning. Not sure what it'll be with the windchill factor. But it'll get up to the mid forties and by Friday, the seventies. I pray for all of you who are having all of that snow and ice.
