If you Google Joann coupons, there are options that come up where you can print out coupons to use. You can do this with any business that offers coupons.

Hancocks sale flyers are the same way. Different days for different things. I had the same problem when I went to Hancoks. Luckily I asked about someting so I found out
before I bought something I thought was on sale but wasn't.

If you go to our JoAnn's with a coupon & you get notions as well as fabric cuts they will take the coupon off the cheaper notions & charge full price for the fabric. One has to get creative!! Go with DH & have him checkout separately or something. I personally think that's bad business, but they do it all the time!

Have to tell you a good story about JoAnn Fabrics! I live in Southern Ontario but we often travel into Niagara Falls to spend time and to shop and of course JoAnn's is the main place for me to stop! I checked the dates on the recent coupons carefully and was able to use the 40% coupon on a 5-pack of rotary blades and then when the clerk saw that I had another high-priced item, she tore the 40% coupon out of one of their store flyers to use it on that item, and on top of that I had a VIP card which gave me another 10% off everything! That included the best buy of all which was a lighted Christmas village building that was regularly $40 with a 70% discount so it only cost me about $12 - and it was a JoAnn Fabrics building!!! I noticed that their fabric prices had increased (didn't buy any fabric) but coming from Canada, they still seem quite good to me! Because I teach in a fabric shop here, I receive a good discount but most of our prices run about $12 - $15 per metre which is only about 3 1/2" more than a yard.

I have a 10% discount card from Quilters Club of America that is good for 10% off the entire bill at Joann's (sale & regular prices) and my local Hancock's will accept it too.

My best buy was a couple weeks ago when Joann's had 50% off of W & N batting, $5.49@. I wanted a whole 40 yard roll but they were out so they special ordered it for me (same sale price) plus I got my additional 10% off. Price ended up 60% off! I was in heaven! lol

My JoAnn's won't let you use coupons from different sources (flyer or newspaper, etc.) They say they aren't allowed to do that anymore. Did something change recently? I worked at JoAnn's in FL several years ago and if the coupons were from different sources we could use them.

No, that sounds like someone just didn't want to honor the coupons ~ or maybe their store was not meeting "budget" (a magical number that corporate sets per day/per store, I think they use a dartboard or roll-of-the-dice to make up the numbers) and they were trying to get away with only honoring one coupon. Not cool ~ with that response, I would say "then please ring as separate transactions, so I can use my coupons please".

This drives me crazy about joann's. I know if it catches me off guard it does others too. I've almost given up on their coupons because of it. I definitely don't make a special trip any more to uae them. Been disqppointed too many times.
