Hancocks in Cincinnati will accept the coupons on any item if that is what the coupon says. I use them there all the time.

I probably won't be sent many more. If you don't go, they soon stop.

There you go!

You said it all. It is a gimick to get us into the store. You can't get the coupon off a sale item even if you take it off the regular price - at least not here! I've tried. I used to buy a bold of muslin using the coupon since it rarely was ever on sale. I can't use that much fabric now, so that is not a good buy for me. You have to really read the label. For those cutter blades - go to Harbor Freight Tools and pick up your 45 mm blades for 2 blades for $1.49. That's the best deal around and they will work for you cutter. You will find them in the carpet tools section.

I went once and the sale was for 50% off on Olfa cutting mats and cutting tools I got the rotary one that costs like $70.00 without even being able to use a coupon. To be it sounds like they should save the money on the mailers since the sales are permanent. They just rotate the items on sale from week to week.

Boy I am with you on this one. I went and thought I was going to clean up but everything was on sale finally bought DMC floss and straight pin holder. Seems more off with the coupons more items are on sale.

i bought a bolt of fusable stabilizer, the kind i use for t-shirt quilts..i am happy with my purchase! 60% off.

If you can find something that you can use that is a good buy, then its worth it! Otherwise, its a gimmick and a cheap one at that. Won't wind any brownie points with me.

Well I really dislike Joannes had 50% coupons and was hoping I would find something but unforatunately everything was on sale it seemed. Found couple bolts of prints for 1.99 which I liked but that was it. Was disgusted. Lady in line behind me bought pellon so I gave the coupon to her but thats the way it seems to be anymore. Here in CA we don't seem to have many fabric stores left. So sad. Was trying to find large flower print for a trellis wall hanging I'm making but haven't had any luck so far.

Jaime? to get you into the store

I'm so glad to hear that its not only me!!! I also got 60% coupon, drove 65 miles to the nearest qs and looked for over one hour. Finally when I decided to say the heck with this I found a nice 12 1/2 x 12 1/2 Omnigrid. 47.00 orig. price, this was NOT ON SALE. So I felt as if I didnt waste me time and gas money! This is a lovely case to carry your blocks in and sewing notions. Great for traveling.
Also wanted to ask, at our Joannes the coupon is only good for one yard of fabric. I didn't realize to purchase the whole blot of fabric. Is that the way it goes??? That will be worth it for sure. Also it says on the coupon--not to be used with any other coupon! Am I missing something?? Please help... loosing my value of all my coupons.
