Wow! JoAnn’s is having a heck of a sale this weekend!
My latest quilt is eating variegated embroidery thread like there is no tomorrow, so I boogied on down to JoAnn’s yesterday with a 40% off coupon in hand. Now the coupon wasn’t exactly from JoAnn’s. It was from one of their competitors. I would have been happy to use the coupon at said store, but they do not carry this particular collection of variegated thread. They do carry less expensive collections, but I have concerns about the colors running if and when I ever have to bathe my quilt. DMC is the best!
Not to worry! JoAnn accepts coupons from other stores. See me jump up and down?

Just as I arrived, a clerk was filling up the remnant bins with these great cuts of fleece. Perfect for pet beds. I grabbed four pieces, the fourth being the zany tie-dyed orange fleece that is underneath the others. These were 50% off of the price marked on the tag, making them about $3.50 for around 2/3 of a yard.

Of course, I had to grab a few fat quarters. Occasionally JoAnn’s carries some intensely bright Indian batiks that are of a decent quality. I had to have these. $1.50 each.

Now, you want to see something funny? The “Total Savings” on my receipt is a higher amount than the amount due. And this was without me pulling out my guild card or my teacher discount card. I thought that would be carrying it a bit too far.

Wow, you sure got some great deals with your coupon. If you had pulled out your teacher and guild cards you might have ended up and a reality show and been really famous for getting that bundle for nothing. ;) Cool. Back when I did counted cross-stitch I used DMC and still have a ton of it. I love JoAnn's Indian batiks, too. All the batiks in my trip around the world quilt came from there.

I think I might get kicked out of the store for good!
DeleteI just ordered from JoAnn's online. I was getting low on best press so I ordered a gallon, and a seam ripper, cut freezer paper and long glasshead pins-all at 50% off with no shipping costs. They have some great buys sometimes. You got a nice collection of thread.
ReplyDeleteLove a good deal! Glad they had what you needed and some extras.
ReplyDeleteWay to go! Do you get their email? They send a lot of coupons through email....I even had Roger sign up till we can get more for our money!
ReplyDeletefantastic,,, I always forget to pull out the competitor... thanks for the reminder! Like the idea of the animal beds with fleece,, wonder if it is ok for cats. Beautiful colors!
