I love that Joann's and Michaels always have coupons out, it definitely makes crocheting a much more affordable hobby. However it does suck that most of the times I need to get like 2-3 different skeins of yarn and Michael's only lets me use 1 coupon per visit BOOOO!
I've noticed that Joann's is a bit better about letting you use coupons. They let you use (1) 40% or 50% off regular items coupon AND a % off your total purchase coupon too. Unfortunately, Joann's is like 7 miles away from me and Michael's is less than 1 mile away so I end up going to Michael's since going to Joann's usually means using my savings on yarn to pay for the extra gas to get there.
What's AWESOME about both stores is that they both accept competitors coupons! Around here, there's no other competition besides Joann's and Michael's. Every once in a while, they put out 20% or 25% off your total purchase coupons that are good on BOTH sale and regular priced items. What sucks is that they usually end the really good sales BEFORE the start date of the coupon, so it ends up cancelling out but they kinda make you FEEL like you're getting a good deal, don't they?
At the end of the day, they're a business and they sell yarn and other craft goods TO MAKE MONEY, NOT to help us get our yarn fix (I know... sad)
Once in a blue moon, the awesome SALE and the awesome COUPON overlaps from both stores :-)
Starting tomorrow, Michael's is having this great deal on many of their yarns AND Joann's has put out a "Family and Friends" coupon for 25% off all sale and regular priced items good from Nov 4-6. So SUNDAY is the one day where they both overlap!!
Vanna White's yarn is going on sale for $1.99 meaning after the coupon, each skein will only be $1.50!! Crazy!! That's cheaper than red heart super saver and her yarn is sooo much better and has a much better selection of colors too! It stitched up nicely too, I used it on the Tunisian Crochet Pillow and on the Piranha Plant block too.
