JoAnn's Coupon Commotion - What did you get?
The thing I hate about their coupon commotion is that they have all these coupons and seriously.. EVERYTHING is on sale.
I ended up with 2 things of heat & bond lite, a thing of fusible printable fabric (for labels), 1 pound of yarn, a foam floral wreath and 3 sheets of felt (for a Christmas wreath), 3 spools of ribbon that were on my "need to buy" list with my coupons and then bought a piece of remnant flannel with cars printed on it, a "welcome" sign with a sunflower (hey, it's fall AND Kansas related!) and some headband thing that was an impulse buy at the register. I don't wear hats.
I still have 75% of my coupons to use, but I was on my lunch break so I didn't even bother looking at fabric.

Re: JoAnn's Coupon Commotion - What did you get?
I go often enough that I pick up an ad every time I go in lol. They had an ad full last week (they may still have some there now), plus a small little flyer I picked up last week AND I got an email with some in it the other day. I ended up with probably 20 coupons.

I only used one of the coupons - sadly I don't need anything. It's pretty bad but it was floral wire that was $1.99 and I used my 40% off any floral item haha...
mjkern - if you sign up to be on their mailing list they mail you a flyer every two weeks in the mail and they'll also email coupons.

Last time was worse because the entire notions wall was on sale too, so ALL the fabric on sale and ALL the notions on sale and I had like NOTHING to buy. I don't knit, so I couldn't buy any of that stuff. Ribbon is pretty cheap already and they don't carry a lot of fancy stuff.

I bought a bunch of tulle and wreath frame. I still have a bunch of coupons left too, an entire extra ad and my e-mail ones. I have a feeling I will need to go back for more tulle though so some more will get used.
