I went also - spent 77.00 saved 225.00 bought some flannel, snippers for the rag quilts I want to make with the flannel- a small rotary cutter ( 25mm) and extra blades - and some thread . It was crazy but I have learned as you walk in grab a cutting number then walk around get your fabric , notions, etc. when your number is called you are ready to go

Well I went to Joanns, did not get up early to do so, got there around 9:45 or so. Had to follow someone out of the store to get their cart so I could have one. Pulled a number before I even started shopping. They were like on B50 something and mine was C60 something. I thought oh boy this is gonna be fun. Well saw a friend in there, she found a ticket someone had dropped or thrown away, and it was lower than hers, so she gave me hers, which was lower than mine. After all was said and done, she ended up not needing hers at all, so I went from C60 something to C07, which was a good hours wait---thank goodness for friends. On savings---I was really fretting as the total prior to her taking coupons off, and hitting the total button, was in excess of 500.00 I was wondering how in the world am I going to come up with all of that money as I didn't have that much. Then after coupons, % off and such. I ended up with a bill of around $167.00 and a savings of over $450.00 Phew was I glad to see that total. They calculated what the regular price was vs sale price in the savings. One thing that was to my benefit, and I had never seen this happen, was I purchased some of that 108 inch quilt backing fabric---I wanted what was on the bolt, which was 5+ yards on one bolt, and 8+ yards on the other. The clerk coded it as if it was the end of bolt, and gave it to me for 75% off---whoa doggie, was I in heaven---I was going to use my 50% off coupon, but with her coding it that way---I got to use my 25% off total purchase---so what would have cost me $169 she gave it to me for 42.25 then with my coupon, was able to get it for $31.67 or $2.44 a yard for 108 inch wide quilt backing fabric. Talk about a blessing.

I went & got a ton of flannel but didn't even think about batting! Y'all are brilliant!!! oh well, there was barely enough room in the car for the flannel...we hit a 'few' other stores as well.

I didn't go anywhere today. I had the grandkiddies until 11 today, but I wouldn't have gone out anyway hates standing in lines.

I went after I got off work at 12:45pm today, the store was PACKED!! I was in there for close to two hours, and had enough. I really only wanted the flannel, so came home and bought it online for just .50 more a yard! Not quite the selection I wanted, but still good enough! It's suppose to be here in 7-10 days!!
Forgot to add I also got free shipping as I spent over $35!!

I'm checking it out tomorrow a.m.; still 25% off total purchases. I just couldn't begin to handle the aggravation today. Stayed home and sewed instead. Although I may be spending a little more, I'm saving a ton in aggravation.
