Fair Warning!

Ok, here's your fair warning! DON'T GO NEAR JOANNS on a Saturday close to holiday time!

You'd think I would have learned my lesson last year on Black Friday! HA! But I figured that Thanksgiving ha not hit yet, so I should be ok. WRONG!! I just needed some interfacing for a handbag I want to try, and today was the 60% off coupon day. I was gonna buy a whole bolt :) Well, got there, took a number, and ran to the interfacing aisle. The bolt only had less than 2 yards on it- ugh! Then I stood in line for the cut counter and it took 20 minutes to go from #1 to #2- and there were FOUR people cutting!! Really! I was #35~! Uh, NO! There was no way- I will just have to wait on my interfering. I'll try during the day next week and see if I have any better luck! Here's hoping- and now you have been warned ;)

  3. That sounds like my experience at JoAnn's today. I bailed without the fabric I came for.

  4. That sounds like the one grocery store I always avoid on Sat/Sun. Interesting that your Joann's does the take a number system, it must make it so much easier when it's time to cut.

  5. Oh dear....I was a bit sad, I printed my coupon, then forgot to take it with me yesterday, so didn't go to the store. I looked at it today, but as it's Sunday, I decided that I didn't really want one more trip to that area just to save 60%. It's a 1/2 hour drive both ways and I'd already been up there Friday (shopping) and Saturday(birthday party)...yeah, one more day of driving all over wasn't calling to me. =)
