A clerk at our Joann's told me that if you check out the two higher priced things in one transaction (nothing at a lower price) it will give one free. It is a pain to do that but if you mix the prices it will always give the less expensive item free. My daughter had a fair sized bead purchase and she took it all back to the service desk to return and started over.

One day the new one had a sale on notions buy one, get one free. So I bought 2 identical items of each thing. When I checked out they would charge me for both of the top priced items and gave me the two cheapest priced items free, even though they were the same identical items. I was so mad I told them to cancel my entire order.

I felt the same way you did..although mine was only a 50%...
I bought 4 spools of thread which were on sale and I was able to use my VIP card also........
With the 50%, I did buy Fon's & Porter's white lead pencil for marking. I would never spend $12.99 for it but $6.50, I sprung for it.
Almost everything there was either on sale or I didn't want it !!!

I too went to Jo Anns with a 70% off coupon today and everything I wanted was on sale. I complained to the clerk, even asked her to find me something that was worth using my coupon on. Didn't find any thing. Don't know how to complain to Jo Ann's, but this was the worst.

I probably should have bought minke cause it was not on sale @13.99 a yard, but I couldn't remember what colors I have and did not want to repeat a color. I even tried to buy black Kona which I use a lot of black and white Kona, but they didn't have much on any rolls, only like a couple of yards or so and it looked beat in both stores. So I came home with my pellon and guess I saved a little. Please tell me that some of you made out better than I did. I usually do better when they have a 50% off coupon now and than cause they have a larger selection of my items. GOOD LUCK!!!

I did alright, but I had an 80% coupon. The stuff I wanted was on sale but not enough to entice me. Got an entire bolt of gridded iron-on for watercolor and photo-mosaic quilts, nearly a whole bolt of Wonder Under, and the fabrics were all on sale already. I had kinda budgeted $50, and was out the door with just over $40. Here's my loot.
Loot from the big sale!

It seems that I'm not missing out on anything by not even getting my coupon! Sounds like corporate is getting to be an even bigger pain in the patootie than ever!! :evil:
