I don't know if it was just a promotion at my local Joann's, but yesterday they told me to use all the coupons I had at the register. Usually, they only allow you to use your 50% off coupons on reg. priced merchandise and on one item. They allowed me to use all four of my 50% off coupons, including sale fabrics. Good sale on batting too.
Coupons are good through the 20th. I may go back for more batting.
My local one always scans everything i have "just in case". My understanding is, as long they are from different sources -newspaper, flyer, phone etc- they will accept them. you can't double dip, like take a % off total on top of another coupon.
Wow, my local store seems to have an army of coupon police! I understand the double dip thing, but they rarely allow multiple coupons unless the items are totally different categories. That's why I was so surprised that I could use four 50% off coupons on sale fabrics.Quote:

Because it is a coupon commotion they will let you use all of them during the same transaction. As long as the coupons don't have the same UPC on them you can always use more then one. If you look online you can print 4, 50%off coupons and use them in the same transaction. If you have a smartphone and use thier app there are 2 there as well. The nice thing about the phone app is that you can reuse your coupons because they just scan your phone! Tey cannot take your coupon so you can go back day after day using the same coupon until it expires!!! I do it all the time.
Thanks Jenny. I did not know that. I added the app for my phone. Appreciate the tips. ;)Quote:

I go in with coupons from the Joanns app on my phone and ones from the paper (or that they've mailed to me). My husband has the same app on his phone, so we split up our haul and use two checkouts to get as much saving (when we have a % off highest price item coupons)
I bought some fabric at Joanns last week and forgot my phone. The clerk took 50% because I told him I had a coupon for it!

Well, I will just have to go try that out, my local Joanns usually only lets me take ONE coupon and my teacher discount.
I have walked in and out of the store several times to use my coupons and of course they know what I am doing and why but never say a word to me about it!
Everything I needed (or wanted) was on sale so I didn't get to use my coupons. Maybe next time.
Usually I can only use one coupon per visit.
The other day I had a fist full of 50% off coupons, all good for this week and for regular priced items. Since it was a special sale week cashier said I could use as many coupons as I had on regular priced items. Got to use only 2 as all the other fabrics I chose were on sale, they were mostly 40% off so that wasn't bad.
Really hoped to get 50% off on everything as the fabrics are for our Project Pillowcases Program. We have a budget of $200 per year from our guild and it doesn't go very far as we usually sew up and distribute about 1,000 pillowcases a year. We depend heavily on donations of cash and fabric from guild members, family and friends to meet our annual goal. Our new guild president is part of our regular Pillowcase Team so I'm hoping for her support in getting our budget increased to $300 for next year. We didn't get an increase this year because all of our money wasn't spent in time for budget requests and discussions in October. Well, this year I made sure all funds would be spent early as we had $125 remaining and I spent it all at Joann's the other day.
I managed to use four yesterday. The wide backing was regular price and a couple of notions I bought were, also. I bought a tri recs tool but it was 50% so no coupon. They quit carrying the Hobbs 80/20 at my J store so I ended up ordering some online today. I seem to go through it pretty quickly so I ordered 6 Queen ones which should hold me for the rest of the year.:icon_happy:
I had 7 50% off coupons and used every one of them today!
I was at Joann's the other day, had the four 50% off coupons, but the only thing I could get that was not on sale were some buttons! The way they act regarding coupons, you would think the money a customer saved came out of their paychecks! There is NO WAY they would allow the use of coupons on sale items, let alone using multiple coupons. I ENVY YOU GALS WHO GET GREAT DEALS AT JOANNS!
I have had the same experience in the Tyngsboro and Billerica stores. You can use as many coupons as you want as long as they have different codes on them. Some cashiers give them back to you and some don't. My daughter went there twice this week for me. On Tuesday to get 2 items and they kept the 2, 50% off coupons. Today she went for Kona Black, rotary blades and 6 inch square and they gave her back 3, 50% off coupons. Luck of the draw with my 2 stores.
Claire, Did you order the Hobbs 80/20 from Joanna's online?
I know they discontinued it in their stores, really don't care for the brand they replaced Hobbs with. I prefer the Hobbs and have picked it up on trips to Lancaster, PA or ordered from Continuing Threads.
I got Hobbs 80/20 off the the big roll (not pre-packaged) on my last trip to Joann a couple weeks ago. Does not appear to be discontinued here in NC, at least not yet!

No, I ordered from Hancocks of Paducah. Their regular price was about 40% off what Joanne was charging for their product that I don't think is nearly as nice.Quote:

In the quilting section of J they had 75 bent pins for around $13 [that was all half off the price] and in another section of the store they had some pin packages with 40 same size bent pins for $4, not on sale. I bought two smaller packages and used a coupon on each.:icon_bigsmile:
We always allow customers to stack their coupons, as long as the scan code is different. We also take competitors coupons.
I have had customers use 10-12 coupons in one transaction, as long as they had full price items. Coupons are not good on sale prices. Teacher discounts, instructors discounts, and employee discounts come off sale prices. This is how I get fabric that's usually 9.99 a yard for 3.99 a yard.
I shopped the same fabric at Joann's and hancocks and hancocks was 2.00 a yard more. Even if they had been the same price, I get a discount at Joann's, but unless hancocks has a really great sale that causes the fabric to be cheaper than Joann's with my 20% discount, or Joann's just doesn't have it and hancocks does, I don't shop hancocks.Quote:

Well, you are lucky, the last time I was at JoAnns, she would not let me use my teachers discount with my coupon. Don't think that was right since the card says it is good on regular and sale items.
Mine does this too...as long as the UPC scan code is different they will take as many Joann's coupons are you have in one transaction. Then they take one of any competitor which in my area is Michael's and Hobby Lobby 40% off'ers. I get the Joann's coupons online, flyer and newspaper and if you watch the dates, often the online ones double over into another time period.Quote:

I would read your receipt again because the coupon said it was not good on sale items. All that said, I had 8 50%, 4 40% and I had another 40% from Hobby Lobby that that would take if I needed it. As it was, I spent to much, even with coupons!
When I go to the store I get confused with lot of printed flyers in my hand :D
You girls are all lucky. Since my J's remodeled and all new faces. they don't allow but 1 coupon a transaction...and I had a 60% off notions over the weekend and was told no can use on a zipper thats not a notion...//? 1111!!!. grrrr no wonder i rarely go in that store.
During "Coupon Commotion" is when they allow Multiple coupons to be used YEAH!!! I set up 3 different hotmail accounts so the bar codes are different hehehe Use my Tax discount IF I'm buying items for the biz, otherwise use my PR discount which is 10% on ALL items (sales or not)... Kept the card that Joann's sent me show it to the clerk - is says right on top ALL items Sales or regular ;-)
When our Joann's relocated and trained in almost all new employees - the first few days they took ALL coupons multiple times (made up for SO many other times being denied that's not a Notion, or that was on Sale stuff)... but *sigh* now they are trained so do plan trips during Coupon Commotion - and get ads sent to your app, multiple email addresses
Right Jean!! I had my phone in hand battery died from non-use, and I just said oh no my phone needs recharging but I've got the coupon ON my app - They let me take it :-) Some times you just get the good folks in life
