GRRRR Guess what I ended up getting for my secret cpn of 50%??
A package of extra fine pins, yeah.
That store near me is a zoo. I couldn't wait to get out of there.
But I love my pins and also got some grips for my rulers and a large rotary blade.
I want to hear some GOOD deals!! Pray tell ! :D

Jim's Gem 08-21-2010 12:53 PM

I didn't get a coupon!!!

watterstide 08-21-2010 12:53 PM

40%, the lady in front of me got 80%!

abonda 08-21-2010 12:58 PM

I got a 70% and a 50%. with the 70% I got a nice natural desk light to sit on the sewing machine cabinet. It was 50.00 and I got it for 15.00. With the 50% I got a lap quilting frame that was 25.00 for 12.00. I made out!! Not a lot to pick from
though as most everything was on sale!

I am so glad I read this! I hadn't even seen the scratch off on my flyer! I got 50% Guess I will be stopping there before I go to work tonight! Thanks!

dellareya 08-21-2010 01:21 PM

I just bought a can of spray baste. Wow, I love using that stuff.

Olivia's Grammy 08-21-2010 01:26 PM

I forgot about the coupon. Mine is 70%, going to tomorrow after church to buy SOMETHING, ANYTHING, after all it's 70% off. :lol:

sueisallaboutquilts 08-21-2010 02:31 PM

Oh yeah!!! I think I would have been more motivated to navigate the "zoo" if my coupon had been more like yours :)
But I still like my extra-fine pins. They aren't cheap!! :D
Be sure to let us know what you get!!

I had a 50% off so bought a bolt of black kona. I am using it in a Christmas project.

sew cornie 08-21-2010 02:41 PM

My coupon was 70%. I got 6 1/4 yds of black Kona - one of the few quilting fabrics NOT already on sale. Regular price was $37.44, but I only paid $11.23!! No plans for it yet, but it seemed like a very useful choice. If it wasn't the end of the bolt, I would have bought more. Also used a 40% coupon to get a 6x12" stencil.

Janetlmt 08-21-2010 02:45 PM

I used my 80% coupon on a bolt of Kona cotton. I had a 40% scratch off also and I used that on some foam to make a new dog bed. It was a mad house at Joann's.

quiltinghere 08-21-2010 02:48 PM

gotta find my flyer and see what I got

MinnieKat 08-21-2010 02:50 PM

What awesome deals! I didn't even get a flyer!

Olivia's Grammy 08-21-2010 02:54 PM

Great idea about the Kona fabric. I love it and wouldn't have thought about getting that.

lovequilts 08-21-2010 02:55 PM

I got some fusable fleece I've been wanting to try.

jetnica 08-21-2010 02:55 PM

I got the big roll of sulky sticky + stablizer with my 50% coupon.

Ours was the usual busy, but it was all crazy people, not the normal, nice people I'm used to...

Chele 08-21-2010 02:57 PM

Such good ideas for coupons! You have inspired me to venture out to Jo-Ann's tomorrow. Was it really a zoo?

pvquilter 08-21-2010 03:00 PM

I never got flyer. I don't know why..When did they go out?

dkabasketlady 08-21-2010 03:01 PM

Mine's only 40%, where's the deal on that, it's the same on my mailing flyer!!! I spend a FORTUNE in that store & you'd think I'd get a bigger discount. I'm not using mine.

Chele 08-21-2010 03:06 PM

You were robbed dkabasketlady. I only got a 50% off one. Probably won't pay for the gas to get there!

Mine came in the mail last Saturday or maybe it was Monday. On the back by my address was the gold circle to scratch off. Discounts were to be 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, or 80%.

The Joann's I went to this morning was very empty. But there's an annual air show going on just a couple of miles down the road. I'm guessing people were either at the show, or maybe stuck in traffic nearby. Lucky me. I much prefer when it's not crazy in there.

Olivia's Grammy 08-21-2010 03:17 PM

I didn't know it was on the flyer until one of my students told me. I also got another flyer with 20% off everything.

RevPam 08-21-2010 03:22 PM

I used my 60% off to buy a ruler rack, something I probably wouldn't ordinarily buy but with the coupon a nice gift to myself.

Joanie2 08-21-2010 04:11 PM

I finally received mine and it was only 40%. A little disappointing after hearing so many of you getting 50% and more. Oh, well.. every little bit helps.

ChubbyBunny 08-21-2010 04:28 PM

I bought 5 yards of fusible fleece to make more Bow Tucks totes!

earlylace 08-21-2010 04:31 PM

I went early on Sat. and it was busy, waited in the cutting line and the check out line, Used my 50% off on quilted material that was 17.99 reg. price for 1/2 off, I will make a purse.

craftybear 08-21-2010 04:39 PM

cool, can't wait to see your purse

Chele, I don't know how your store will be. Mine is always crazy- very disorganized, always out of things, I just am not really wild about it. But oh well......... :D

Leota 08-21-2010 05:00 PM

how do you get a flyer?

You have to sign up to me on their mailing list.

tooMuchFabric 08-21-2010 05:08 PM

The place was a zoo deluxe here too. Madness.
But I got a bolt of fusible interfacing for light to medium fabrics, with my 70% coupon.

What a shame they do not allow more things on the coupons.
But I like what I got, definitely can use it and definite savings.

tcnmom 08-21-2010 05:28 PM

I used my 70% coupon on a $230 sewing cabinet that I got for $69. Don't know if the cabinet is good as I have to wait for someone to come over and get out of my SUV and put it together. The joy of being a widow.

ghostrider 08-21-2010 05:29 PM

I took my 50% special coupon and my 40% regular coupon to Michael's and got two gallery wrapped artist's canvases that I will paint and mount small art quilts on. :D

ME EITHER!!!! I'm still upset about it! :evil: :evil: But after reading all the postings earlier about what you couldn't buy with the coupon, I'm not sure I've missed out on much. :roll:

The store remodel last year took out all the fine art supplies here. I was an 80%, and got a whole bolt of gridded interfacing, and most of a bolt of Wonder Under. Got some other fabric, already on sale, but was able to get the 10% off total order coupon to help on that. I'm happy with my finds.

tooMuchFabric 08-21-2010 06:07 PM

My coupon said it was not good on sewing machine department items.
At the store they said the cutting tables and the cabinets were all "sewing machine department items" and would not let me buy them on the coupon.

Twisted Quilter 08-21-2010 06:09 PM

NOTHING! Everything I wanted was on sale. :thumbdown:

Olivia's Grammy 08-22-2010 09:14 AM

I used my Joann's scratch coupon. It was 70%. I bought 8 yds of Kona fabric for 14.38. YEA Me

Kaye-Kaye 08-22-2010 09:23 AM

My was only 40%. Not worth the trip as that is what we always get. They should have had them all 50% or above. I always run into the problem of most things I want on sale also. But I am glad some of you got great deals!
