Title: Big sales at JoAnn!
Post by: gem on March 21, 2011, 12:04:35 PM
Just posting a head's up!

JoAnn has 50% off Waverly home dec fabrics until March 26, and for those who get their email coupons, 25% off your entire in-store purchase from Friday the 25th through Sunday the 27th!

This would be a fabulous time to stock up on supplies for this summer's garb!!

I know! I definitely wasn't planning on any shopping this weekend, but this is too good to pass up--I've never seen 25% of an entire purchase before! I'll probably stock up on the fabric for Milord's Much Ado military jacket, and the trim and forepart/sleeve fabric for my red noble.

 :(  I see the Waverly sale email but not the 25% coupon email.
Was that sent separately??

Yep, the 25% off was sent separately. It's for their Friends and Family sale this weekend. They sent two 25% off coupons - one for you, and one for a friend (if you so choose to share). I gave my bonus one to a friend of mine who I'm teaching how to sew! ^_^

We're going to both be at castle in Loveland, OH this weekend but I think we're going to run to JoAnn up there some time during the day! XD

Okay...  I guess I'm at the end of the email list.  I just got mine now!   :D

Sorcha, I'm with you. I only just got mine, too.

But will it be able to work with the discounted material? The last time they had one of the "off your total purchase" coupons (the 10%) they were only able to use it on all the items that weren't otherwise discounted. Which is totally lame.

Ok, here's what the Friends & Family coupon says:

"25% off your total purchase. Includes regular and sale-priced items." (Which would include the Waverly sale!)

In the fine print: "Cannot be combined with any other discount or coupon." (So you couldn't hand them a 40% off single-item coupon AND the 25% off coupon. I guess they only do that during the quarterly (?) "Coupon Commotion" deals.)

Still! Not a bad deal overall.

Since I work at Joanns, you can use more than one coupon per transaction, but the 25% off will only be applied to items that you do not use another coupon on.  So you can use your 40% off coupon, but the 25% off will not count towards that item.

An extra 25% off! I do need more threads, some fabric for a Chemise, Pirate Coat lining for upcoming  commissions. I do need anopther 50 yards of White Symphony Broadcloth as well.

I am going up to my daugther's on Thursday to help for a week and oogle over my new granddaughter. We plan to go to a Super JoAnn's in Eden Prarie on erands over the weekend.
