Say 1/2 yard on sale for $1.99; 75% off remnant pay .25 . I have so many small pieces of fleece from this. I also made some huge mistakes buying flannel 'just on sale' two years ago and got all kinds of remnants this year to make those "lovelylittlehandmade" magic pillowcases.<br />RedHeadedRhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08504950340262156002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714533677640680704.post-28991555412953894932013-07-05T15:52:36.231-07:002013-07-05T15:52:36.231-07:00JoAnns also honors coupons from other craft stores...JoAnns also honors coupons from other craft stores.

Y...Thanks for the tip about freecycle and big lots!<br />You can't replace JoAnns when it comes to the basics, because you can't find it anywhere cheaper. I double up on coupons, meaning I get the mailer and the email, and you can use both every month (for all you hardcore JoAnn shoppers!)<br />Also, and you'll probably touch on this later?, but I'm a huge DI/thrift store craft/fabric supply shopper. I have found TONS of great fabric there. Mostly unused, 2-3 yds at time, that someone bought planning to make something, and never did. I also have gotten up to 10 zippers for like $2. And of course I go there for patterns as well, although I'm no stranger to JoAnn's 99 cent pattern sale!<br />MimAllanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251540159861502085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714533677640680704.post-79320418708846046222010-08-10T12:16:25.112-07:002010-08-10T12:16:25.112-07:00One other thing I forgot - Big Lots/Odd Lots!
