For carolnbb- not all of us live in a town big enough to have a Joann's or Hobby Lobby, so if we want to shop there, we go to where they are. That's part of living in Texas. Towns are just farther apart, than in the east.I have to drive over 130 miles to shop at Joann's and Hobby Lobby. We are a town of about 21,000 people. Great place to live just not alot a shopping options. So you either do without or drive. It's not as bad as it seems. You get used to it.
I never buy batting without a coupon. I rarely buy anything unless it's on sale or I have a coupon. When I'm going to the CITY I get online and print coupons for all the stores I plan to shop at, if they take coupons. Then, coupons,list and sunday ads in hand I take off for a day of shopping. I usually have a good size list. I can't afford to go to often.
