I got a flyer with the 60% off coupon, to be used on Sunday or Monday. It can't be used to order anything off their website to be delivered, just in store or P/U in store. I hate to see a 60% off go to waste (even though I know that is how they get us to buy buy buy) so I am trying to be thoughtful and deliberate about what to get. Obviously it can't be on sale. If you decided to use it, what did you get? What are some ideas to pick up? Drives me nuts that most stuff is marked at least a little bit off so no coupon, so I am trying to think outside the box, but still papercrafting.  |

JA is Joann? I tried desperately to find a way to use this and have given up. I need a new clothes steamer -- all irons and steamers are exempt from coupons. I'd love an Ott light -- they are all permanently on sale as near as I can tell. I decided I needed a Corner Chomper -- they had the wrong size and maybe also only online.

When I can’t find anything, I usually resort to adhesive.

I know consumeables is the way to go, but I do have a ton of adheasive...and I guess I was trying to think of something I needed or wanted that was a bit bigger of an items to utilize the 60%. Oh well... |

I'm guessing you mean Joann's??
I would buy stickers (if they are not already on sale).
Joann's rarely gets new stickers, so I'd likely but some alphabet letters.
They've had some of the same stickers for more than 20+ years.

Michaels does that too. A nice coupon with a giant list of exclusions. And of course most of their other stuff is “on sale”. The Joanne’s near me doesn’t carry paper crafting items and the Michaels recently closed. There’s a strip mall about 20 minutes from here that has both stores. Usually not really worth the trip.

I just hit my crafting wall for the day. Trying to decide whether to balance the checkbook or go grocery shopping. I think I can justify a trip to Joann to see if there's anything left of the doorbuster open stock paper. I am also pretty stocked with adhesive, so I'm not sure there's anything I want to use the big coupon on either.

I get so annoyed by coupons and sales like this! On a holiday weekend so much is already on sale, and all the good stuff is excluded. In the past I've ended up getting packing tape or something stupid like that. I just can't be bothered with stores that overprice and then mark down and offer coupons that you can't use on anything. Trying to find something to use the coupon short-circuits my judgement. I ALWAYS end up buying things I don't want or need under these kinds of circumstances, or getting myself so overwhelmed frustrated I storm out in disgust - a giant waste of my precious time and energy.
I hope you can at least stock up on something you use and need all the time. Good luck!

I've been to Michaels about 3 times in the last 6-10 months. Always with some hope of finding a little something. Always leave with nothing. They don't even have the selection of baskets they used to have. |

The AC embellishments weren’t on sale at my J’s. So I picked up the Heidi S Set Sail stickers for $1.60. Plus four more of the set sail woodgrain paper❤️

The stores are all so different -- the one near my office has an ok selection of patterned papers. There's one I know has a HUGE selection, but it wasn't near anywhere else I needed things. The one that aligned well with my other errands had NOTHING. I have another Tomboy dot runner refill pack -- $7!

Do you need any storage cases or supplies? Maybe boxes or shelving, or a cart?

Anything I was interested in was already on sale for less percentage.
I ended up buying pack of 12 Ball quart canning jars for my daughter to use with her produce this summer.

Nothing. I'm saving my money for EXPO so I can pay full price. I want fun with my purchase.

I got some of the embellishments that go with the designer paper section (new Heidi Swapp, Vicki Boutin, Paige Evans, Jen Hadfield and Maggie Holmes collections). My store still doesn’t have them all and isn’t very well stocked. But I placed an order for one using the coupon on my app for pick up. And then I used the coupon on the app that had a code and the coupon from the flier in store for two more. I feel pretty great about getting them for 60% off! The paper is already on sale, but the embellishments weren’t.

I went yesterday to greedily stock up on unneeded paper (10/$3!, can’t resist) and didn’t see anything to get with the coupon, so I was just going to use it for the $3 specialty paper from VB, but then my son popped up with a big set of colored pencils that caught his eye. Sold.
