Hi, brand new here but this thread intrigued me. I also went to Joann's today armed with my wishlist, 2-40% off coupons, 1-50% off coupon and a 10% all total sale coupon. Came out smiling ear to ear. To use my 40% coupons and my 50% I bought some of their block of the month squares that I use to make candle mats to sell at craft shows. Bought lots of the quilting cottons at 2.99/yd and found some of the calicos I like over in the markdown area for $3.00 a yard. Total came to just over $120 before the coupons were used - walked out for a few cents over $61. I love Joann's but you do really, really have to watch the coupons and what's on sale. If I hadn't bought the block of the month items I would have used my coupons on the packs of fat quarters that are no longer on sale this week. I also purchase through Joann.com which is how I got the 50% off coupon and the 10% off total sale coupon.

I did well at Joann's today - 70% off of the final fabric piece for my yo-yo quilt. Used every coupon in my possession and saved $30 - so proud of myself!

I actually found a website where I can purchase pellon on the bolt for a really reasonable price - it's www.jhittlesewing.com.

I do a lot of comparison shopping online to get the best deal possible.

I wonder if something is on sale, if you can ask to get it rang up at regular price and then use your coupon instead of the sale price it was.

I just got back from JoAnn's with my scratch off 50% and same thing I could not find anything that wasn't already on sale. I mentioned this to the check out clerk, and she said "I know". I really don't like JoAnn's anyway. But I did end up getting some fusible too.

it seems not all flyers are alike, I found that last week, a friend had a 50% off fabric coupon in the inside flap, where I had none. I havent gotten a coupon either like you all are talking about. I got a 20% off in the mail extra.
but as you said they have everything on sale, you would normally buy-that is their ploy. Not nice sounding at all.

I don't get to JoAnn's that often, it's 75 miles away, so when I do get there and have that problem of everything on my list is already on sale, I buy 5 - 10 yards of warm and natural batting. I use 80/20 Hobbs for my quilts, but I really like the warm and natural for wallhangings, placemats and table runners. So, I stock up on that.

I just thought of something else. For those of you who belong to a quilt guild, you can sign up online for another 10% off from JoAnn's above and beyond the sale price. Thought I'd share that with everyone.
