I agree with Lacey, it is frustrating to deal with coupons and the dates and walk in and find one cannot apply the 40% to whatever we planned to buy - but - now I call before I leave and ask if item is on sale and make sure my discount is good. Since I live 40 miles one way and 50 another to a Joann's, I try to make my gas dollars good and combine shopping.
Which reminds me I need sticky 3/8" bias for stain glass block this coming week - I don't think they carry it but will call to find out. Oh, I have re-measured my own fabric many times. There are two gals that always short me
so I measure and pin before I have her measure and cut. It works for me as I live too far for an oops am an inch or two short.
