    my boyfriend and i went to two different joann's and he found one thing he wanted to get - no sale sign on it - but when he got to the register they said their register had it on sale for 10% off and they couldn't adjust their system so he walked out without it. that's rediculous - any system can be adjusted or overridden if need be. and i didn't find at the second joann's the item that i saw at the first that i had decided i wanted. neither one of us were happy with them.

    I agree with all of you about JoAnns. Wouldn't it be great if we could send all of these comments to their corporate office. I have a discount card through AQS and it has expired so I asked JoAnns to give me a new one and they were out. Told me to try again next time. Since I moved, the nearest JoAnns is 70 miles away....so next time may be a long time!

    Does JoAnns have batting on the roll in store? I can't remember if I have seen it there or not, and want to get a 25 yard cut with my coupon

    yes, they do carry batting by the yard but quite often both of the ones near me are running low. go figure.

    My coupon was 50% off. Not much I needed, so I decided to buy quilt backing. I found the 108" in the beige print. Wasn't a whole bolt, but I assumed close to maybe 8 yards left. So I go to have it measured & it ended up being 2 pieces. First piece was 5 1/2 yards & the 2nd was just under 3 yards. The store clerk said she'd let me have both pieces as one cut & I could use my coupon. I mostly do large quilts & prefer my backing to be at least 3 1/2 yards. There were 2 other partial bolts of the same fabric on the shelf & I asked her if I could try another & see if any measured out to the 3 1/2 yards & swap that for the 3 yard piece. Long story short she did. So I got enough backing to do at least 2 quilts & have some left for smaller projects for the Grand Daughters.

    I also agree that too many items are marked on sale so you can't use your coupons.

    Another thing that makes me go GRRR was last years Black Friday sales....they had better prices after Black Friday & many of us bought large ticket items, only to find they were on sale for a lot less a few weeks later. The year before Black Friday sales were great. I made out like a bandit. It'll be interesting to see what they do this year.

    when I was walking in my Joanns one day last week, some lady came out carrying a roll of the warm and natural batting. I said now there goes a serious quilter and she just laughed back.
