yes, they just announced the mobile app about a week ago... hey, it's another coupon!!! :)

In the past the coupons on the back were for the entire flyer period but this time they were for special days and it didn't include last night. I agree that the person at the cutting table was embarrassed when I noticed I couldn't use the coupon because it wasn't for the entire time of the flyer. Best to check carefully from now on.

My flyer for this time at Joanns has one coupon for 40% good for the entire sale and one for 50% for the last week of the sale. There are more inside. Maybe they have different ads for different states?

Last time I ordered a whole roll of polyester batting 40 yds(I'm a longarm quilter) I wanted to use a 40% off coupon on it but they told me it was already on sale. I looked thru the flyer and it only mentioned PACKAGED batting (like the smaller 10 yd pkgs.) you can buy. But I was ordering a whole 40 yd. roll that they cut off BTY. I went back and looked at the shelf where she got the # to order it with and there was NO notice there that the BTY poly batting was on sale (except the 10 yd. pre cut pkg.) Because THEY supposidly have it on sale I did get to use my 10% off card on that but I would have been $12 ahead if I could have used the 40% coupon. GRRR!!! When I asked about it she just kept saying you could tell it was on sale because it had a * after the order number. Well, you don't know that till AFTER they give you the ticket. Maybe IF you knew (nothing mentioned in flyer or in store) that was on sale, you might have bought more. GRRR!!!

I agree with everyone else. I am all ways excited when I see there flier but am quickly reminded that I probably wont be able to use it anyway.

I have a 15% educator's discount card that I use when things are on sale. For example, if the batiks are 50% off and I use my educator's card, I get 65% off total. Pretty good deal!

We had non-advertised specials ~ and the merch mgr is responsible for "proper signage" ~ sounds like the MTL was not doing their job properly... They are right, the * denotes that the item is on sale. You can ask them to do a price check to make sure its not on sale before doing a SO (special order) or having the item cut. The little handhelds have a lookup option (any team member knows how to do it, if they refuse, ask someone else to look it up for you).

The non-adv sale items drove me insane because we had a lot of older patrons come in thinking their fave yarn was not on sale... only to find out after arriving that it was, hence no coupon. It was frustrating for me, too. I am glad I am now outta there and can quilt! :)

We don't have Joann's around here and all your frustrations make me glad there isn't one, lol.

I have signed up for the flyer about 10 times, never get it, I agree about their flyers, the last time I was there I wanted some batting that I thought was on sale, it was the next day only. I live 4 hours away, going back the next day was not going to happen. Very frustrating.
