It's hard to get just the one thing. You get then you think...I'll just look around a bit. UH HUH! You come home with more than you went to get!

I went in just to look and I also came out with 3 W&N queen size battings and some Steam A Seam for some Bundles of Hope sleepers I am working on. I should know better than to even go through the door.

I have that same problem many times. I do better if my hubby goes with me. He usually helps me remember what I actually went in for. hehe

Seems as tho JoAnns's was the place to go today. Bumped into a friend there who was buying fabric for a monochromatic quilt in chocolate browns. My other girlfriend got 5 W&N, I got 3. I went to spend my 3 $10 off coupons, got the batting, 13 yards of fabric, another pair of heart glasses for my Daughter. I resisted the chocolate. Then, GF wanted to go to Handcocks. Quilting notions were on sale, I got some chalk markers and magnet fabric guides for the student machines and a magazine. Resisted the chocolate. Went to the new GoodWill. No fab finds, only a messenger bag, which I find useful for those big baggies of WIP's and a bongo drum for $2. Could smell the chocolate from their bookstore and coffee shop. Came home and the daughter is dishing out a bowl of double chocolate with chocolate chunks ice cream. I resisted the chocolate. I thought that I needed to turn around and go shopping some more, to the two LQS which have candy counters, Now, I log on to the board and read all this chocolate talk. It's a conspiracy!

You got a good deal and consider the chocolate bar just an added bonus :-)
