After buying some yarn at Joanne's I decided to stop in Michaels in South Hadley to see if they had any yarn on clearance. They had the Bernat Waverly for $2.49 a skein, regular price is $4.49. If anyone is thinking about doing the Bernat KAL afghan this would be a great savings on the yarn if a local Michaels is having the same sale. I did not buy any, because I had bought some yarn at Joanne's and I have to many WIP and things I have planned to make. However if I go in next week and there is still some left, I may have to buy some! Hope this helps someone!

Maybe just to ad to our stashes or our addictions. lol

I haven't gotten my new Joann's circular yet!

Ha, I'm on my way to Joann's in a little while, ours is opening for the first time at nine. I'm sooo excited. Now we will have Hobby Lobby, Michaels and Joann's all right here!!

The clearance items were unadvertised and I just happened to fine them because I was in the store. The Joanne's in Ludlow did not have any clearance yarn left according to my mother. I am going to visit her this afternoon and I will stop by an check. I wish I had a Hobby Lobby around here!

Don't forget you can also use the discounts that are usually in the papers.

I dropped into the closest Michael's and was disappointed with the stock. I take a coupon everyweek, stocking up, and on Tuesday here in Calif they honor a 15% discount with the AARP member card. I think I heard you get the discount or use a coupon, maybe not both. Seems it varies by clerk.
Not that AARP was clearly advertised except for a small sticker on one checkout stand. I am going to drive an extra 10 minutes to go the the next closest store. They do differ.

Sandy (and anyone else in western Mass/ northern CT)- there is a Joanne's opening up in a couple of weeks in Enfield CT. I'm very excited since I work in Enfield. I'm sure my car will just "have" to go there sometimes after work.

I checked out my Michael's and the Bernat Waverly was 2/$6.00 so $3.00 each. They didn't have the right colors for me either. sigh.....

In our area, Michael's honors Joann pricing/sales/coupons and Joann's honors Michael's pricing/sales/coupons. Chesterfield, MI... is it the same in other areas of the country?

And my two Michael's within 10 miles of each other differ greatly. I went to the closest to find a disarray of old stuff, big handtrucks of boxes blocking what was on the shelves.
Sorry I wasted my trip. The staff is nice, but seems mgmt needs to do some whip cracking re restocking. Sadly, I realized I was in the wrong store, the Michael's farther away carries greater variety and has what I need. There is a 30% or more, off if you buy two of the same brand/style. December they had a 2 for 1 sale.
JoAnn's here has a ton of fabric, crafts galore, a forest of floral, and now framing. I have not seen a new item since I started knitting 10 months ago. I suspect JoAnn's gets a lot of internet orders (good for people who know what they want and what they are doing) because I see sales coupons and offers of conditional free shipping in my email. I have to see what I am buying at this stage. JoAnn's also has a tricky 10% off policy on books and magazines, expensive as they are. That disqualifies the use of the coupon. Yep, tricky.
I realize this is So California, but we do have to put on sweaters when the sun goes down. From the look of shelves, people are buying yarn.
