I got a flyer from Joann's last week, and it had a few coupons in it that expire on Wednesday, April 18th. My bad was that I automatically assumed the rest of the sales were on until the 18th as well. In the flyer was an ad for the pasta roller thingie for use with sculpy clay for $14.99 (reg $24.99)...got all the way to the front and discovered that the flyer had expired on the 15th! after I'd already paid for everything...I had already found a different error on my receipt that they had fixed for almost a $10 difference, so I figured, what the hey, forget it, I still saved $10 bucks. Just wish the flyer and the coupons were lined up, if you know what I mean!
Got home and awhile ago got some coupons online from Joann's--2 50% off and 1 %40 off. I'm planning to take the pasta thingie back tomorrow, return it for full price, then re-buy it and use the 50% off coupon. Can't think of a reason why they wouldn't go for that, since it's still in the box, and I still have the receipt, and it's only been a day... if it does go through, that means the total price will be around $12 instead of $14.99, and I'll still be saving money!
If I do this, am I a bad person? I have to say that the money I save will generally go right back into items purchased from the store, so nobody loses! :-)
