I just needed a few items -- thread, bias tape, marking pen -- came to $27 after a $7 discount -- I gave a coupon to the lady in line in front of me who was buying notions for a sewing basket -- she saved $32 -- spent $100 -- Joann's really must want business because of the all the coupons, several every week

I wound up saving - after all the price reductions and discount coupons more than I spent - Spent $117 on $300 worth of fabric and photo frames ! I had 40% off coupns X 2, bought sale items at 40-50% off, remnants and am a very happy camper - on sale is the only way I shop !

I went for a very brief time yesterday to get some Kona solid fabric. It was on a 40% sale and then used my 25% discount at the register. Probably the best buy on the Kona I will be seeing for they have raised the price. Jo Anns is a good place to buy certain things when they have their 50% off sales. The only fabric I seen for 50% off was the Debbie Mum and I haven't had good luck with what I tried out. I do think we have to look for the best buys we can to keep our hobby half way affordable.

OK Ladies, I think I have won the best buy award at Joann's. It may not count to some of you because I didn't purchase any fabric. What I got was a package of 45mm Olfa blades from the clearance section that was marked 75% off with 3 missing. When I checked my receipt it showed the reg. price 34.99, sale 20.99, 75% discount -15.74, for a final price of 5.25. And guess what, all 5 blades are there. I also got a slim tip for my mini iron marked down to .97. I had the clerk scan both my sale ad and coupons I received in the mail just to keep getting them, not thinking I would get any additional discount, but it took off .24. Grand total of 5.98 with a savings of 29.98.
