JoAnn Coupons...Am I Missing Something?
#42
I got some webbing for a purse and some interfacing recently with my coupons. They had tons of stuff on sale, but not those two items.
If something is already on sale, sometimes they'll bring it back to full price and give you the 40% or 50% off from your coupon.

I think each Joanns store manager has their own way of letting customers use coupons. I keep mine in my purse and usually use them to stock up on packs of cutting blades, batting, etc. I know it's a pain in the butt but while in the store you need to check your coupon's % off against the sale price of the items you are thinking of purchasing and decide which is the better bargin.
I received a Joann's gift cert. for Christmas and am planning to take a trip there tomorrow with my coupons, list of items I need and a few blocks from the quilts I'm presently working on. I need to find borders for those quilts. May in Jersey

Has anyone else heard this?

Everything (guns, register) are programmed not to let this

No you r not missing a thing they do that all the time and what isnt on sale nobody wants. I use to shop there all the time and think I have bought ever piece material they have. I dont shop there as much anymore.

The coupons are good for items that are not on sale, like I stock up on "heat and bond" for appliquing, or "batting",thread, some books, not "everthing" is always on sale, they also have "non" sewing items, like sometimes I may buy a gift for someone.

You are lucky if your store will mark the item back to regular price and then take the 40% off. Our store won't let you do that.
I have also found that most of the items have already been marked up 30 to 40% more than I can get it at Hobby Lobby. Example, I wanted some insul-brite, JoAnn's was 6.99, Hobbly Lobby was $2.99. A big differences.
Also, they use the big thumb to measure. I have been shortage as much as 4 inches on 4 yards. Plus lots of there fabric is starting to look like craft fabric. And the notions are the same thing we have had for 50 years. They need to get some new buyers and update there notions and fabric.

You aren't missing a thing, JoAnn's is missing the idea of what a coupon should represent. My erkkkk is that you can only spend one at a time. I have purchased something, taken it to my car and gone back and used another coupon to purchase again, how silly is that? If they don't want you to have the coupons why do they print so many?
