Trip to Joann's on Saturday evening
 

After a family reunion, I asked my Hubby if we could stop at Joann's on the way home (closest one to me is 90 minutes away) and he said no problem.

Well... did I ever get my Christmas early!

Go cutters and dies were 40% off -- so I now have a full size Go cutter, dies of 2 1/2 strips, log cabin, 6 1/2 squares, tumbler and mats for all of them.

Then I had a 50% off for a new 24 x 36 cutting mat

and wonders of wonders... Joann's had a special of by the 18W Ottlight ($109) and get the 24W Ottlight free ($209)...yes, the more expensive one was FREE!!!! We got extra bulbs for both as they were 50% off.

According to the receipt, I SAVED $525 dollars!!!! Yes, my hubby was helping carry stuff and stack it in the cart. He wanted me to get a new iron but I passed on it.

Talk about a surprise stop, this was one for the books.

Wow. WOW! How very lovely for you!

You did good! Wished I had seen those deals when I went Saturday morning with coupon for 25% off at the register, but I bought fleece and fabrics instead.

Congrats on some nice stuff and a husband that is supportive!

WOW, sounds like you got a wonderful Christmas early. I haven't been shopping, other than for groceries. Not a thing I need or want.

Good for you! Christmas came early. So nice you have such a supportive husband. Let's hear it for enablers, lol! Just kidding---I'm sure you support his passions, too. Have fun with your new toys.

I went yesterday morning also. Got about 15 yds of fabrics, thread, 5 yds wonder under I needed, 2 patterns, needles, a few other things. Used coupon and with sale prices only spent 42.00. Was great! Mom went with me so after we went to lunch. Good day out.

What a GREAT saviings.......good for you and thank you, hubby.:)

Sounds like you were lucky on two counts.. one great deals .. two a supportive hubby! Enjoy both!

We (of course) had to play with the cutter last night. It will take some getting use to, but no more "v" 2 1/2 inch strips.

Yep, my hubby is a pretty super guy. He kept saying "you better get this one too" with the dies, I actually had to to tell him, I didn't think I'd ever use it on a couple, lol.

Awesome, congrats!!!!!!!!

great for you, and for all of us who seized the day!

Jealousy is a terrible affliction :) we don't have these kind of sales in th UK and quilting goodies are very expensive. I had a look at msqc site, order totalled $56 dollars yippee, postage to UK $50, had to abandon that idea.

I was happy with JoAnn's too. I just bought the doorbuster flannel fabric, but it was only $1.74/yard. I like to make pet beds for the local animal shelter, and usually try to find inexpensive material from thrift or yard sales. But this beats that by a long shot.

Merry Christmas to you! :)

JoAnn's and Hancock's both are having great deals. Heck of a savings. Tis the season to be Jolly!! WooHooooooooooooo!

Sounds like you hit the sale just right. I went Saturday morning, got 4 yards if anti-pill fleece for 75% off per yard plus and additional 25% off my entire purchase using the coupon. Then I got 2 yards of white on white snowflake fabric on sale 50% off and 3 yards of cute polar bear fabric also 50% off. The door buster was get one Art Bin Supersatchel case and get 2 free! I didn't have any and always wanted some. So in the cart 3 of them went. This morning two are now holding works in progress. I saved alot too!

How cool is THis?? I love that you found what you wanted at the price you wanted. And no explanation had to be made to hubby when you got home. Great buy!

I got some fabric from the next door neighbor for almost nothing 20 yards of quilt shop quality fabrics for a dollar a yard. I was thrilled!

whoop whoop a lot of great deals were had!

I went today and got Eileen Wright new book "More Twist and Turn Bargello Quilts" for 60% off. YIPPEE. That was the only item I wanted for Xmas!! Can't decide what to make first !!!

Wow...wish we had those sales here in Canada....or Joanne's...

Score !!!!! nice to have those once in a while ....

Lucky you - I'd say you made out like gang busters. Good for you. I didn't go out to JoAnn's this weekend, but I was there a couple of weeks ago and had fun with some good bargains.

Sounds like you had a great day...Congrats.....
