The wait in our local Joann's was about 3 hours! I only go to purchase flannel once a year for our blanket ministry at our hospital. This time I got smart! I found bolts, wrapped in cellophane, at 8 yds. a bolt. They didn't need to be cut so I grabbed all I could (took my sewing cart with me because I knew there wouldn't be any shopping carts) and headed to the check out. I was in and out of there in a little over an hour! That stash of flannel will go with me to the hospital on Tuesday and should last us until I go again next year. I'm a happy camper!

I went also. Spent 36.00 and saved 84.00. My Joanns has the ticket number thing also, but when people have 30 bolts of fabric it still takes a long time. Enjoyed talking to the others in line and helping one lady pick flannel color that went together

Do you really believe you saved a lot of money on the sale or were things priced high to start with so they can afford to have all these sales? I personally am convinced that Kohls and Joanns and some other stores are just marketing this way. Sounds like it works too.
That said, I know in Texas Kohl's lost a suit over their pricing- they can't call something a "sale" price if that is the price the thing is the majority of the time. Then, it becomes the regular price. At least Joann's does sell items for the "Regular" price most of the time.

Lucky you...Our Joann's won't allow you to buy a whole bolt, unless being sold as a bolt and is packaged as such, without it still being opened and measured...They say they still have to scan and give you the receipt for register plus they must make sure that it's 8 yrds not more not less. Such a pain because I use to always buy bolts of heat and bond, wonder under UGH...
And we don't have "pick a number" or a second cutting counter, just room for 2, maybe 3 if they squeeze, ladies to cut. The store only has 2 cash registers...
