My husband was very excited to get a floor lamp $200 for free when you got the deck model for $100. Plus 20% off. With that saving he said I could get everything I wanted. Just not needed but wanted. I love that man. So I found some books, supplies and a new cutter. I lost mind. Then over to scrapbooking. I saved so much. The best savings was on irons. I got the little one for making binding. Did I tell you I love that man.

You are not a cheapskate, you are "frugal" (that sound better)

I hit Hancock Fabrics yesterday to take advantage of their batting sale, 40% off and an additional 15% off coupon. That is the best price they will have all year, so had to jump on it.. I rarely shop there anymore as I find their fabric quality not to my liking. But for sale notions, it's okay.

I too hate that you can only use one of the coupons & every time I visit their site I send an email complaining about it. Most places with shipping specials appy it automatically when your order reaches the specified amount. I even emailed them a copy pf my receipt (for over $100) and told them that sale could have been theirs except for their "penny wise, pound foolish" way of handling online orders. Maybe if we all complained they might take a look at it.

I went to the store and got packaged bats. There was a low-loft King size on sale for 14.95. Also got two twin sizes and 4 fat quarters. Total bill came to $36. Saved $32, so that wasn't too bad. :)

In my living room when I sew at the dining table, I have more problems. I think I will try to tie or pin the pillow or several pillows to the table legs so that the pedal won't move there either. |
Pollytink: YOU are not a cheapskate; you are frugally managing your monies to buy more fabric and items for quilting/sewing !LOL

I went to the store yesterday, and got another large self-healing mat, 15yd of quilter's grid fusible interfacing, and 20 yards of batting.... in addition to a bunch of fabric. The sale was pretty good this year. Spent about $140, and saved $145 :-)

I actually did a comparison of JoAnns vs Thousands of Bolts, Fabric.com and Marshall Dry Goods. Now granted I only needed fabric but Marshall came out the cheapest even with shipping. I got 15 yards of fabric, 9 of those yards were 108" tie dyes, 3 yds batik and 3 yards tone on tone black. Shipping was flat rate $5.95. Total was $56.96. Everyone else, even Joann's with the 15% coupon was $75-$80 and I didn't have to make a special trip. I was pretty excited.
