    Does this mean you got batting? Batting at my store was $10.99 marked down to $5.99 so I could not use my coupon on batting, and they kept mine so there is no reusing. Really glad you got a great buy!!!

    Thanks to whomever started this subject..as I was starting to feel like it was just me when Joann's did the coupon thing and everything that I wanted to buy was on sale. I try not to let any of their coupons waste, or expire, so as a last resort, I use them for buying thread, or some new needles. Anything I can to save on costs.

    I had a 70% coupon and couldn't find anything expensive that wasn't on sale. Put the bolt of wool batting in my cart and trying to turn the corner, I bumped into a sewing cabinet. Price $230. Found the manager and asked if I could use my coupon on it. He checked and I could. I got the cabinet for $69. The picture on the box looks good with a drawer, lower cabinet with door and side table for serger. Drop table in back when raised would be great for quilting. Waiting for my grandson to come over and put it together for me. Hope it's sturdy. Anyone have one or seen one?

    I went to Joanne's with my 60% off coupon also. Many fabrics were marked 1.00 off so the coupon could not be used. Batiks were not marked down at all so 60% off of 12.00 was a good deal. This coupon is good through Sunday only. Thread is 50% off this week end without a coupon.

I finally bought a 20 yard bolt of fusible pellon that I use for T-shirt quilts and may try it with a few hand bag patterns if I use Cotton and may not want to quilt it. 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 got a 70% off too and am certain that anything I might want is on sale already.Not a nice way to do business.

    I didn't even look at the mailers this time. Too much other stuff going on. Glad I didn't throw it out. my daughter gets one too so I always have 2 coupons plus if there is an email one.
    I just scratched mine off and I got 80% on mine whoopy. Now if I can get something that's not on sale.I got a Joann's gift card for $25 for my birthday. I wonder how much batting I can get with that.

    I've gone armed with a coupon and left without a purchase. Joann needs to change their policy about coupons. My scratch off was 40%.

    I never have any luck with Joanne's and coupons. I needed thread and rotary blades so of course used the coupon on blades. The thread was 5.99 a spool, connecting threads has the same thing for 2.00. It was one of those things that I needed it now and couldn't wait. Grrrrrr.
    I bought my cutting table at Joanne's and it is the biggest piece of junk, I am saving my pennies for a nice one.
