Columbus Day Sale

Today I went to Joann Fabrics and to my surprise they were having an awesome sale. My purpose for the trip was to get my fabric and pattern for my Halloween costume. Lucky for me, Simplicity patterns were only .99! So, if you are in need of any patterns get yourself down to Joann.

I noticed that a lot of the fabrics were on sale too. I had some great coupons from a past mailer that gave me 50% of my fabric. I needed a lot of yardage for my project so these coupons really came in handy. If you have not signed up to receive the Joann mailers, do it! In the mailers there is always a 40% off coupon that can be used on anything.

I also needed buttons and elastic and you guessed it, they were on sale. Buttons and elastic were both buy one get one free.

My total savings were $104. I ended up saving more than I spent. I love a great deal!

With Halloween around the corner this is a sale you can't miss. It ends on Monday.
