My two favorite craft stores: Jo-Ann Fabric and Crafts and Michaels. Since we’ve already discussed 16 ways to save at Michaels, today we’re delving into the many ways one can save at Jo-Ann’s. Never pay full price, because you literally never have to.
Ilove coupons, and so does Jo-Ann’s. I knew we were meant to be friends. They have coupons on their website, on their app and if you receive their text alerts you’ll get coupons that way as well. Text BEADSto 56266to get on their list. Standard rates apply, that is if you don’t have unlimited texts on your cell phone plan.
2. They accept competitor coupons!
Jo-Ann’s will accept competitor’s coupons from stores like Michaels, provided that the item(s) are available at both stores.
For example: Say you want to get three yards of regularly priced fabric from Jo-Ann’s and they do not have a current coupon (or their coupon excludes it). Michaels has a coupon for 50% off one regular priced item, the only problem is that Michaels doesnot sell fabric. In this instance, you would do better using a coupon from another competitor that does sell fabric. Make sense?
3. They allow the use of more than one coupon per order.
Say whaaaa? This is why Joann’s is in my top two favorite craft stores! I’m a couponer at heart, and being able to use both a30% off one regular priced item anda 20% off entire purchase? I get a little crazy on those days. Don’t forget that you could use a Michaels coupon, or another competitor, for a percentage off even more items, provided that the items are sold at both stores. Note that the use of a 30% off regular price item coupon will exclude that particular item from also attaching to the 20% off entire purchase. Just remember that only one coupon can be applied per item. This means that you could use another competitor and a Michaels and a regular-priced Jo-Ann’s coupon AND an entire purchase Jo-Ann’s coupon. Yassss!
This stands at ALLstores, not just craft stores or Jo-Ann in particular. If there is a survey at the bottom of your receipt, most times you will be offered a coupon for your participation. I’ve even had friends win $50 gift cards to other stores just for giving their two cents!
Recipients receiveproject ideas, announcements, special offers and more.
6. Are you a teacher?
Head on over and enroll in their teacher’s program and get 15% off every. single. day. You will receive a Teacher’s Discount Card within 3-4 weeks that you can use as often as you wish. Remember to take your teacher ID with you to the store the first time you go to use your card.
If you are a reseller, a member of a professional crafting organization or other professional, you are eligible to become a Jo-Ann VIP. This means that you’ll receive 10% off every purchase (includingregularAND saleprice items) either in-store or online.
Thank you for your service! Now head on over to the Military Signup Page and you’ll receive 10% off every purchase, every day (some exclusions apply). This includesMilitary service members and eligible family members. You must present proof of your military service, past or present, or Military Dependent ID upon checkout to receive your discount.
9. Check your rebate apps!
If you already know what you want, and don’t need to shop in store, then rebate apps such as Ibotta and Rakuten will save you some dough as well as a trip to the store. Ibotta is my favorite of the rebate apps that I recommend, and many times they offer a $10 BONUS with your first rebate submission. That’s $10 back for buying something that I already intended on purchasing anyways. I love those new user promotions! Heck ya!
But, isn’t that just about anywhere you shop? That’s usually the first place I look. Not gonna lie. 😀

For even more ways to save, check out the JOANN coupons page. You can design your dream DIY project for a fraction of the regular price. JOANN also accepts coupons from other crafts stores, including Michaels, Hanco*ck Fabrics, and Hobby Lobby.
This tip is simple. Because sale prices are released every Sunday, Sunday morning is the best time to shop at JoAnn. We suggest putting on a pair of your comfiest leggings, grabbing a cup of coffee and rummaging through the collection of fabric, art supplies, custom framing and more.
To determine if you can use a code on the item you are purchasing please review the coupon exclusion language, or review the product copy for an exclusion note. Please note that you can use only one coupon or promotion code per order on joann.com®.

While Michaels is stocked primarily with top of the line products, Joanns offers a broader selection of cheaper, lower-quality products. But while Joanns might seem cheaper in the short term, there is an argument to be made that shopping at a Michaels store will save you more money over a longer-term.
The smallest cut of fabric you can typically purchase from a fabric shop is ¼ yard (sometimes 1/8 yard). By the time you select 25 different fabrics at ¼ yard a piece, you'll end up with more fabric than you need for your project.
The JOANN Smiles reward program is completely free to use and helps you take advantage of bonus discounts, birthday rewards, and special surprises. I use my rewards to earn additional $10 off coupons almost every month! Sign up for JOANN Smiles here or in your JOANN app.
Acceptance of unmatched manufacturer coupons to the correct purchase item is against policy and the coupon will be denied. Walmart does not accept competitor/retailer coupons.
Does Hobby Lobby take competitor coupons? Hobby Lobby accepts absolutely no competitors' coupons, including JOANN or Michaels coupons. Hobby Lobby will price match in-store as long as the presented ad doesn't contain special ads, holiday doorbusters, closeout sales, or clearance merchandise.
In retail, a doorbuster or door crasher deal is an offer that is handed out early into the business's opening hours; this offer almost always is promoting a good in limited supply.
You'll love sewing and quilting with the pre-cut fabric available at JOANN. This pre-cut cotton fabric is sized perfectly to design quilts, smaller projects and more. You can buy fabric quarters, 1 & 2-yard pre-cut cotton, fabric bundles, fabric rolls and fabric shapes.
Yes, the easiest way to earn rewards is to use JOANN Smiles with every purchase, whether you're in-store, signed in to joann.com, or shopping within the app. With or without coupons, you'll still earn towards your mission.
