That is good to know, I worked at a JoAnn fabrics years ago and there was something that we had to do which I thought was not necessary. While we were cutting fabric, we would ask the customer, " oh, what are you making" most of the time they would tell you. So if they were making clothes with the fabric, you would put a code next to the item. And you wouldn't be taxed. If it was for making a craft item, they would put that on there. If someone wasn't sure what they were making, I would put the no tax number code. Everyone else put the tax code in. This was in Minnesota back in the 1990's. Not sure if they still do this today. The thing was, I honestly was interested in what someone was going to make with their fabric. I always reminded the customer to make sure if they needed thread to match. The JoAnn fabrics that was in my town, shut it's doors for good on April 20th this year. The last few days pretty much everything was 90% off. I got a few really good deals. On the receipt it showed original price and then what you saved. It was something like $249 and total amount with discounts came to $24 . Hopefully someone will find this useful.
Now I know why they ask. I thought they were just being nice. Disappointing.
I had looked at remnants and thought the prices were so high,now I understand Thanks!,
Your state doesn't tax clothing, right? I worked at Joann's, and we always asked, just making conversation.
@@Janis342 Maybe this is something they did at that particular store for some reason? But that's not why they ask. (You normally have to be set up as "tax exempt" to have sales tax waived.) Technically they're required to ask every person what they're making, but TBH, no one is going to do that every time, so if they ask, they're probably either being nice or are actually curious about it 🤣
@@CraftHarlot Wow, I didn't know some states don't tax clothing - I hope they don't put the responsibility on fabric store employees to decide if someone is going to be charged sales tax on their fabric.... 🤔
I had no idea! I’ve seen the price labels on the remnants and thought, “What?! That is supposed to be a bargain?! As if!” and just walked right on by. 😂 Now i know! Thank you! 👏🏼😀
Hello! Thank you so much for watching! So glad this video could bring some useful info to you!Hope you find lots of great remnants 🥰 Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
I always thought that too. Who would buy that,I thought!!!!
Yep, me three😝🤑❤️😀
The prices change so often that it would be impossible to keep up with the new sales and reprint labels.
Wow, just wow. I have passed on getting remnants bc I had no idea! Thank you!!!
Never knew! Thanks for sharing with your stitching sisters.😊
As for the pieces that are over the 1 yard those are technically a big no no as the guidelines are 1 yard or less. The sign reads "Off the CURRENT selling price" so if the fabric is currently on sale it will ring up LESS than the label reads then you get to standard 50% off or the remnant sale of 75%. I know all this from being a JoAnn manager years ago.
I have tried to spread the word about this for years but I don't think people believe me.
Glad you are also talking about it.
Hello, Becky! Thank you so much for watching! It’s great to hear this confirmed from a former Joann’s employee! I think it’s hard to understand from just the signs, I know I never realized all the additional sales attached to remnants before chatting with the employee. It makes shopping the remnant section even more fun! Thanks for taking the time to chat with me, Becky! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Former employee here, remnants for home decor and fleece start at under a yard and a half. Many newbies don't know this. Ask a Manager, that knows the rule, like me. 😊
Yeah, that yard and 17" of denim... 👀👀🤣
@@jilbertb Unless the rules changed, only home decor drapery linings (not all home decor), fleece, muslin, and tulle and netting can be up to 1.5 yards.
@@kumada84it still lets us print the labels but yes, according to the sheet it’s a yard for home dec
Yes, when they are having a great sale, like last weekend door busters for Memorial Day, it is discounted off the current price. So, I got flannel and quilting cotton fabrics for like a $1.50 per yard. It was awesome! I got one remnant that was priced at $28, for $5
I had no idea! I always check out the remnant bundles, but I didn’t know they stacked the sales! I will definitely have to pay closer attention next time I’m there!
Did not know that at all. Thanks for sharing! You are the best!
Hello, Betty! Thank you so much for watching! Aw, so glad I could pass along some fun info. This makes shopping those remnant sections even better 🥰 Hope you have a great week, Betty! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
That’s so nice to know. I checked them out recently. I just looked at the price thinking it was expensive. Now I know. Don’t pass on those great deals.
I have bought remnants several times from Joanne but I didn't know about the pricing. Thank you for sharing.
I always check the remnants section when Interfacing is on sale. It's great for trying out different types.
It has always been that way. Maximum cost is 50% of marked price. BUT if item happens to be on sale, the 50% will be against the sale price. Most fabrics can only because 2 yard or less. Some higher end fabrics or fleece can be 1 1/2 yards. And the sale price will always come up when the sku is scanned at register. I have worked at Joanns for over 30 years and shopped there before that. Always been that way. And the 75% off sales are dictated by corporate not-by the store.
Tiffany, I didn't know this, and it is so helpful. Thank you!! You got some beautiful fabrics at a great deal!! 😊
Hello, Marcia! Thank you so much for watching and for such a kind comment! I hope you’re having a great week, Marcia! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Thank you for this video! I do shop the remnants section but did not know how the extra savings are calculated. So good! 💖
Fellow Hoosier here! I was thinking that JoAnns didn't stack sales, But I was thinking of a different store that always has exclusions you don't find out about unless you bring a magnifying glass to read the small print.
I am glad to know there are some good deals out there!
I never knew this! Wow! I’d look at sticker and back off. Now I know😊
Hello, Cheryl! Thank you so much for watching! Yes! That’s exactly what I would do as well, Cheryl, before I found out this sales formula they use! Now remnant shopping is even more fun! Hope you have a great week, Cheryl! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Me too!
Wow we! I didn’t know that! When I look at the remnant prices they always seem so high so I don’t buy any! Thank you so much for that information!😊
Hello, Michele! Thank you so much for watching! So glad I could pass along the info! Let me know if you find anything good in your remnant section 😉 Thanks for chatting with me, Michele! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Prices change so often that it’s impossible to keep reprinting labels with current prices
Yes I knew this. This is how I get trapped because I say I’m only going to remnants but end up walking around to see clearance only then on to other areas. lol 😊 thanks for sharing
Hello, Pat! Thank you so much for watching! Haha, yes, it does feel like a trap sometimes! Those clearance sections and that Last Chance fabric area are very tempting as well! I’ve had to skip going to Joann’s on a few occasions just to stay away from temptation! 🙈 Thanks so much for chatting with me, Pat! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Apparently it's a secret kept from some employees too. I had an employee argue with me that the marked price of a remnant was already 50% off. The remnant I was looking at was priced for more than the regular price on the bolt! I told them to keep it. 😊
Same with me. I asked why was there a 50% off sign for remnants when they charge people the same as it is on bolt. She didn't have an answer for me
They are going out of business so they have to rip you off same as when home base went out of business.
@@lovly2cu725 Most of them are not going out of business, at least not yet. They will be if they don't make some improvements!
At the stores I've been to, remnants are 50% off the same price if it were on the bolt. So if Keepsake Calicos are 40% off, you pay 30% of the regular price on a remnant.
@lovly2cu725 I get what you are saying and I hate when stores do that. They aren't going out of business, but they will be if they don't make some positive changes.
Wow who knew....so always ask and do your research and buy on a weekend....thx for sharing this gem of knowledge wow u got such cute fabric
The remnants don't go 75% off every weekend, they only do that at certain times. They might be doing that at this particular store but it's not a standard thing.
I got caught up in the remnant bin sale this past winter. I would stop at the store on Sunday as they had tons of remnants from the Saturday sales. If the remnant wasn't big enough and I needed extra for sleeves or bands I would check to see if there was a bolt of the same fabric in the regular fabric section. I could usually find it at 40% off. Got some great fabric for cheap sweatshits and gifts for the grandkids.
I had no idea this is how the remnant sale worked! 🤯 Will need to pay closer attention to that section next time. I usually skip it because I figure the pieces are too small anyway, but you got some decent sized ones for dirt cheap! Thank you for sharing. 😊
I sew doll clothes as a hobby, and I ❤ the remnant section in crafting stores. It always feels like a treasure hunt. When sewing on a small scale like that, you can get several pieces - or even several garments - out of a remnant. The only time I pay full price for anything is when I need a specific fabric for a particular project (and even then, I usually have a coupon).
Thank you very much for the information. Great delivery
I buy a lot of things on the remnants sales at Joann. I look for the bathing suit fabric, they usually have a piece or 2 and that way i always have extra to match my prints. And buy tons of fleece to make hats.
Hello, Brenda! Thank you so much for watching and for the great tips on kinds of fabrics to look out for! Swimsuit fabric would be an excellent find! Those take such small amounts of fabric you might be able to make a whole project just from the remnant section! Fleece would be another great one to stock up on, those fleece hats take small amounts of fabric, as well. Love these ideas, Brenda, you’re giving me lots of inspiration 🥰 Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Hi former Hoosier here in Corpus Christi, Texas. Still Hoosier at heart and I go to the remnant section as soon as I get through the door. Just ran across your video. Jo Ann's has best deals. I'm one to take the rest of the bolt. If there's any left like yard or less I just get it too to be safe. From allen County area. Good luck with your channel
Yes, I've known about the remnant sales. I used to get a lot of quilting fabrics from the remnant bin (small bits are good - they get cut into smaller pieces anyway!). Also when Kona solids were on sale,I would cull the remnant bins for various colors. Since they've been at the 75% off, I haven't really found any good fabrics, though.
So tempting!!! So dangerous!!! A great buy is the fleece in remnants. Great for baby blankets and remnants always end up being less than $2 for the fleece. Thanks for another great video!!
Hello, Rosemary! Thank you so much for watching! Oh yes! I always see fleece in the remnant section, I need to get a few pieces, they would be really handy to have on hand! Thanks so much for chatting with me, Rosemary! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
The fleece is my FAVORITE! I buy it to make blankets.
I have bought remnants and expected the price to be half of the sticker price however I did not know the fabric would be discounted by the same amount as the same type fabric still on the bolt! Even more savings! Thanks for this tip!
Hello, Marci! Thanks so much for watching! Yes, even more savings is great with me 🥰 Hope you’re having a wonderful week, Marci! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
That’s y I always pick up the fabric that’s already on sale 😊😊
Awesome deals! Thanks for sharing how their remnant sales work!❤
i know .... so great i go and buy them all near a large city near me many one yard cuts but my smaller jo anns is amost always under a yard
Yes, I love this and hope it doesn't change now that they are reorganizing from bankruptcy! I use it to get nice quilt fabrics and quilt batting to make small projects like hotpads, interfacing (often 50% off already), lining fabric, batiks., fleece and felt for crafts. I got a yard of linen for $2 to supplement some I bought on sale - if there are multiple bolts, you could use a remnant piece to cut sleeves or a bodice and then purchase the rest you need to make an item from the remaining bolts on the shelf, making sure the dye lots match. It's one of my favorite places in the store, and I'm using a remnant piece of fabric right now, in fact, while I watch sewing videos!
That is great information! So happy that you got such a bargain! I love to find great deals! Thank you!
I was lucky enough to learn about this some time ago. I love hitting up the remnants section. 😊
Great tip! Thanks! I guess I’ll have to weekend shop sometime.
Hello! Thank you so much for watching! Hope you find lots of great remnants 🥰 Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
I just learned about it a few months ago. Another secret is the end of bolt price! If it's less than I believe a yard, then they discount it more.
I had no idea😮 now I have to check it out Ty Tiffany 😊
Hello, Stephanie! Thank you so much for watching! Let me know if you get any goodies from your remnant section 😉 Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Thank you for sharing this information!! I shop, JoAnn a lots!! I will being paying attention next time!!
I love the remnants because, I use the fabrics to try something new and if I mess up or it doesn't work out as I have imagined, it doesn't hurt my pocketbook so bad.
I have no idea, Tiffany. Thank you for sharing.
Hello, Mimi! Thank you so much for watching! I hope you have a wonderful week, Mimi! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
I was always confused on the price of the remnants. I love to buy them cause you can make so many cute creations with them! Thanks for the info this will get me over in the remnant section more often. 👍🏽
I've been looking for a garmet sewing utuber. Thank you. I'm so excited.
Hello, Debbie! Thank you so much for watching and Welcome! I’m so glad you found my channel and I can’t wait to get to know you better! 🥰 Hope you’re having a great weekend, Debbie! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
I always search the remnant bin(s) for fabric. I use DBP for underpants and tank tops, and athletic knits for yoga waistbands on pants and skirts.
Hello, Jan! Thank you so much for watching and for sharing about your great experiences with the Remnant section! Those are great ideas for uses of smaller cuts of fabric, love it! Hope you have a great week, Jan! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Thanks, I will definitely look at the remnants from now on.
Thank you for the tip!!!!
Hi! Yes, I've known about this since Covid. I didn't realize it was a secret. 😁 Thank you.!
You got some nice remnants!😊❤
Hello! Thank you so much for watching and for the kind comment! I hope you have a wonderful week! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
I agree. I have that green floral print gauzy fabric, it's one of my favorites. (They also sometimes have the same print in different colors and fabric types - I think I've seen a pink fleece, a blue knit, and a quilting cotton)
Interesting. I had no idea how this worked! You always have great video ideas.
I found out about that great sale practice several years ago. I was taking my mom to the doctor quite regularly for awhile. One day we decided to lift our spirits and check out Joann's as Mom wanted a new project to work on. I could hardly believe the goodies I found in their remnant area! I was making bags and totes at the time and scored a lot of home decor fabric remnants. The fabric has some heft to it, so it was perfect for the bags I was making. It's been a favorite place to shop for a long time and comes filled with "mom" memories.
I had no idea. thanks for sharing. I'll check that out next time I'm in.
Hello, Catherine! Thank you so much for watching! Let me know if you find any great remnants 😉 Hope you’re having a wonderful week, Catherine! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
That’s a wonderful secret!
Hello, Lori! Thanks so much for watching! I hope you have a wonderful week! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
The sign on the remnants bin says, “75 or 50% off of the bolt price”, depending on the sale they are running that day. The tag reflects the full retail price. I usually pick out my remnants and go check the price on the bolt, then do the math and decide if I want to buy it.
This is good to know, I always wondered why their remnants were so pricey. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for bargains now!
The prices change so often that it would be impossible to keep up with the new sales and reprint labels.
The remnants at my Joann store were all fleece fabrics. I looked around and couldn't find any other remnants. Maybe I just was there at the wrong time. When I have fabric cut and there is less than a yard left, they offer me the end piece at 75% discount so I always take it. Your remnants are gorgeous!
Hello, Dillis! Thank you so much for watching! Yes, sometimes the remnant section doesn’t have much selection. I do love how they offer those end of bolts at the remnant price as well. It always tempts me to just buy it all, lol! Hope your health is improving, Dillis, I’ve been thinking of you often and saying prayers for you! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Yes, Tiffany, I am feeling much better. Back to my regular routine. Thank youu for your prayers!💖
I think they changed the software on the scanners (they screwed it up) and now they can't give you 75% off unless they mark it as damaged. So they might only be able to make it 50% off now
I didn't know this little secret. I will have to go to JoAnn's on the weekends now. I try to hit major stores during the week to avoid the crowds. I have never bought any remnants though because the price was way out of my budget, which seemed strange to me. Thank you for this really good tip!! I will be heading to JoAnn's on Saturday! Have a wonderful week and God Bless.
Hello, Shanna! Thank you so much for watching! I hope you have a great experience hunting for those bargain remnants! I would definitely give your store a call before you go and see if the 75% remnant sale is going on before you make the trip. They don’t always have that sale going, it’s sporadic throughout the month, at least for my store anyway. Thanks for chatting with me, Shanna! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
@@hoosierhandmade22 Thank you, Tiffany. That is a good point. I will definitely call to see if the 75% sale is on. I do get their daily/weekly emails, do they put the sale in there? Have a wonderful evening Tiffany.
I found that price scheme to be true last time I was there. I think that's new, I don't remember it being a double sale before.
Been this way 30 yrs....
I didnt know the way they mark their material. I'll be a lot better choosing now. Thanks for the info.
Remnants is where I live!
The last time I was in Joanns I bought 90$ of double brushed Poly. The cashier then said he would ‘Stack’ the coupons I had on my app. So he scanned the $15 off 75$ then he scanned the $10 off $50 then $5 off $35 . Price I paid was a little over $ 50. Not sure if they’re supposed to do this but it sure was a good deal.
I have had the occaisional "good" cashier also do this for me. 😊Always a nice surprise❤
@@abundantlyinspired yes it was ! I had 9 yards of fabric only marked down 25 percent. Most retailed 13-17 $ a yard. It came to about $6 a yard.
It took off the $15 and $10 and $5 at the same time?? 👀👀👀
Also, don't worry about whether they're supposed to do it or not - it's not their problem if the people that programmed the coupons made them work like that 😂
@@kumada84 yes they did. It worked and it was a tremendous deal
Thank you for this info. Who knew!
Joann's does NOT have a 75% off remnant sale every weekend. If you watch their sales flyer or emails, it will tell you when. About once per financial quarter (3 mos).
Remnant price on the tag is very misleading. It is the regular price for that measured piece. The remnant price would be 50% of the label price. Then if the fabric is on sale, you get 50% off the sale price.
The same discount applies when they ask if you want the remnant when you get fabric cut. Example, a remnant of 35" of Calico on sale at $4.99 is $2.42. A 35" rem of batik is $4.37. Home decor and fleece remnants start at pieces less than a yard and a half. Most peons working there don't know this, ask a manager, who will reluctantly agree.
You can find remnants still on the bolts sometime too. Employees are lazy so rather than create a rem, they put it back on the shelf. One yard will go around the bolt 2x. If you find a piece on a bolt a smidge large than a yard, ask to buy an eighth or a quarter yard and the rest as a remnant. (35" or less)
- From a retired Joann employee, with a house full of remnants...
Hello! Thanks so much for watching! I think you misunderstood me, I didn’t say Joann’s had 75% off every weekend, I said to look for those sales when they come around as they are the best deals. Thanks for all the info from a former employee! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Interesting. In your example would they cut that eighth or quarter yard then give the rest as a remnant or do no cut?
If you're going to call people "peons" because they "don't know" something, you should probably make sure what you're saying is correct first. (Because you're misinformed about the size of remnants. Some fabric types can be over a yard, but it doesn't work the way you described. ❤️) And it's entirely possible for a store to have 75% off remnants every weekend if they have permission.
@@l2thnight They're not supposed to cut it. But they might - one time I took up a yard and 1/4 and said I wanted 1/4, which was supposed to be an obvious joke since the rest would be a remnant (and the person was a friend of mine who knew I had a fabric addiction problem 👀), but they actually immediately started cutting the quarter off without even offering the end of bolt discount on the rest... 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Also, don't assume people are "peons" or "lazy" if they don't do it the right way - there's a very good chance they just don't know how they're supposed to do it and no one has told them. You can always politely ask them if they give an end of bolt discount if you take the entire piece and see what they say.
Even better than that is if you buy fabric from a bolt that may be only has 3 yards left and it’s on sale, go ahead and buy the 3 yards and then the rest of it will be approximately a yard or less than you can get it at the remnant price which is super cheap so you’ll get up to an extra yard for almost nothing. I actually will look at the end of a bolt and estimate how many yards are left and then when I go up, I can usually ask them for a certain amount and be guaranteed for about a yard at the remnant price a lot of my quilt backing material this way.
Hello, Shelly! Thank you so much for watching and for sharing this about the yardage! Very smart way to get that extra yard for a fraction of the actual cost! I’ve done this a few times but mostly by accident. I need to remember this for the future! Hope you have a great week, Shelly! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
When looking at a bolt, each two folds is one yard. It has 6 folds = 3 yds.
Asked them to measure what there. Ask for 35" less, then ask for the 35" as a remnant.
@@jilbertb I understand people want to get as good of a deal as they can, but please don't do this on every bolt of fabric you bring up. Also, please don't badger them if they tell you they can't discount certain fabrics - you can always ask them to double-check with a manager, but there are some fabrics that can't be made into remnants.
Thank you for telling us this. Will the cashier know about these prices or will you hav3 to go and get new sale price from person at cutting table ?
Hi, Margaret! Thanks so much for watching! Great question! Every register or handheld an employee price checks with should automatically give you these sales, you don’t need to ask for the sales. I asked the cutting table employee for a price check on each remnant for their cost before I made a final decision. I would think the front cashier could do the same for you. Hope this helps! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
@@hoosierhandmade22 thank you very much for getting back to me
Happy ,Happy sewing to you. ❤️
I'm lucky; the JoAnn near me is always at 75% off and they have lots of remnants. When calico is at $3.99, it's only $1.00 a yards! (Fleece is another fabric that will go one sale frequently making it very cheap.) I make girl's dresses for charity and the yard remnants are perfect. I typically get a yard for no more that $2.50/yd. The dresses only take a yard plus pockets. It makes them very inexpensive to make.
I did not know that. Thanks for the info!
I’m thrilled to find out about this but my husband is not so happy 😄 💸
Hi
Im from Indy as well!! Thank you great info!!
Hello! So neat to hear from a fellow Hoosier! Thank you so much for watching 🥰 Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Yeah I’ll check them to see if what I’m buying is in there I’ll buy w/e amount they have in it and then if I need more I’ll buy it at the regular price
Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens #mamacoo 😘😘😘
Do you have to have it repriced at the cutting station before checking out? How do you know what the bolt price is on sale for?
Hello, Linda! Thanks so much for watching! No, you don’t have to get these repriced or ask for any special sale. Every register or handheld a employee uses should give you these sales automatically. I also price check my remnants before purchasing just to help me decide which I actually want. If you ask when you price check them, the employee can tell you what sale the fabric is currently on within the store. Hope this helps! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
You can ask an employee to scan the remnant label and it will tell them if the fabric is on sale and what the final price for the piece will be (but they have to scan it in the mode they use for cutting fabric)
Great tip ❤️👍
Yes, I always knew this!
Thanks for watching! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
I'm a quilter so small pieces are just fine. Best piece I ever got was 8 cents. I think it was 7 or 8 inches. Small, but that's ok!
I did not know that about Joann’s either
Hello, Gail! Thank you so much for watching, I hope you have a wonderful week! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
And if after they have cut your yardage order from the bolt, if only a remnant is left they will offer it to you at remnant price! And sometimes there is interfacing or fusible as a remnant too
If they don't offer you can ask. Sometimes I pick fabrics to be cut that I am pretty sure will have less than a yard after what I want and I ask for the reminant price on the balance of the bolt if it is something I can use.
That was a great deal Tiffany. I would not have paid 30 something dollars for a remnant either.
Hello, Zelda! Thanks so much for watching! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
If I could ever find any quilting fabric there that isn't junky and shopworn... If only they actually stocked up on notions instead of having half-empty displays...If only the aisles weren't a jumble of unshelved unpacked produts because see they expect everyone to do the work of 3 or 4 people...If only the parking lot weren't trashy and oily...if only I liked cheesy throwaway holiday decor. My only success there was a half-price entire bolt of pellon 101.
💯💯💯 If only they actually valued the business and their customers, employees, vendors, and cities enough to make their stores viable. You get the impression the only thing they actually value are their retention bonuses.
Now that they’re out of bankruptcy, everything should be fully stocked by the end of October ( at least that’s the story at my JoAnn’s)
@@karenmarrow9572 Haha, my stores been like for at least 7 years.
What is the floral fabric in the upper right hand corner of the video?
Do the barcodes scan the correct price after the discounts or the price on the label?
Hello, Gloria! Thanks so much for watching! Any register or employee handheld should give you the correct final cost of these remnants. There’s no need to ask for this sale, it should apply automatically. I always like to price check all my remnants before I make my final decisions for purchasing. Hope this helps! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Only if the salesperson is aware of the double discount? Some of the salespeople are not aware of anything. Lol
Hello, Saundra! Thanks so much for watching! No, these sales should automatically show up at any register or handheld an employee uses, you don’t need to ask for this sale. I usually try to price check all of the remnants I pick out just to help me make my final decisions. You can do this at the register or with an employee at the cutting table. Hope this helps! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
EVERY weekend remnants are 75% off? I have to drive an hour to get to a JoAnns so I have to make sure I got this right! Saturday AND Sunday?
Hello! Thanks so much for watching! No, I don’t think they are on the 75% sale every weekend. I would definitely call your store and check their sales before you drive that far 🥰 Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
I think it varies from store to store but they definitely don't do that every weekend lol The stores here seem to do it for a few weeks around Christmas and in the summer, but I don't know if they do that everywhere, and I think they can also do it arbitrarily as long as they get permission (like if they have too many)
I use it for patch material
I have always known this. I did not know it was a "secret."
Why do they do this that way 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ The price after the = on the top right of the label is what the piece would cost at the regular (non-sale) price. If the fabric is currently on sale the discount goes off the sale price so the final price will be even lower, and occasionally the remnants are 75% off instead of 50.
Why they close to like the price that way on the label...... 🤔🤔🤔 who knows
Edit: Also remnants don't go 75% off every weekend (I wish 🤣🤣🤣), it just happens occasionally. If they're doing that at this particular store it's just something they decided to do. The sign should say what the current discount is, but if it says 75 have them check and make sure because they might just have the wrong sign up (in which case they should give you 75 instead of 50)
Edit 2: If an employee tells you the price on that label already includes the 50% off, they're wrong 😁🤣
I've never seen a remnant section in my store.I never need only a yard
Thanks for watching! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
The 75% is not on weekends, it is a hit and miss,
Hi, Sherrie! Thanks for watching! Yes, you’re correct, it is on a rotating schedule I believe. I found it on a weekend and have done so several times but it’s not every weekend. I’d definitely recommend checking with your store on their sales before going. Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Unfortunate they have to
Make the pricing so complicated
Hello! Thank you so much for watching! Yes, I know, it can be frustrating! I wish they were more transparent about how their pricing worked as well! Hope you have a great week! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
Ohhhhh this isn't the only thing they make a complicated, not by a long shot 👀👀👀 You should see the things the employees have to deal with
Fabrics which have not sold by a certain date…….. are THROWN OUT !!! Employees ar3 not allowed to take it, nor will they donate it to schools etc.
Every store does this. If people knew how much useable merchandise stores throw in the garbage every day, they would be incensed
OK is this just my lack of math skills at work here: if it is 25% off the regular price and then 75% off of that. Why isn't it free???😁
Hello, Janelle! Thanks so much for watching! Haha, free would be amazing! Unfortunately, the discounts apply one at a time.
For an example:
If the remnant is $5.00 it would work like this: $5.00 x .25 = $1.25 (the first discount) so you would take that out of the $5.00. $5.00 - $1.25 = $3.75 (this is your new price for the remnant). Now you can also apply the 75% so $3.75 x .75 = $2.81. Now apply that discount to your remnant cost. $3.75 - $2.81 = .94.
Long story short, in my example, a remnant that costs $5.00 that is 25% and then 75% off as well is final cost (out the door) of $.94.
I hope this makes sense, Janelle. I think of this as sale stacking, not necessarily combining, makes it a little easier to understand.
Thanks for the question, Janelle, hope you have a great weekend! Happy Sewing ❤️~Tiffany
That’s just to sneaky of Jo-Ann’s . I don’t sew anymore and Jo-Ann’s is a big reason why .
Hello! Thanks for watching! Sorry to hear that about your sewing. If you ever decide to get back to it, there are so many wonderful resources for this hobby outside of just Joann’s 🥰 ~Tiffany
I've been buying remnants since I was a child and I've always know this! It's not sneaky! It's on the sign.
The remnant pricing is NO SECRET! We tell people all of the time.
I have seen their remnants way over priced….and stay away
I always look in the remnants bin. ❤❤❤
I know that if you take the extra bolt end at the cutting table, it is discounted to what the remnants would be priced. I've seen labels with the before and after price. I appreciate that the name of the fabric is on the label so I know where in the store it came from.
I once spotted a pretty red polar fleece in the fleece remnant bin. The band had come off, so I took it to the table when I had everything as I figured it would have to be measured to check out. The poor girl had to dig through the bin for the correct loose label 😆 I was worried she was going to fall in... (it's playpen sized) The bins for other fabric remnants are small. That turned into a favorite hoodie vest!
That’s why there’s supposed to be a piece of masking tape with the e info on it taped to the selvage
Wow, that is quite a revelation. I had no idea. I have left behind lovely remanants thinking they were a bit pricey. Wohooo, thank you, Tiffany! 🙂
If I dare to challenge the person cutting fabric at my neighborhood JF store. I get handled. The moment I question a price respectfully, I have been told on several occasions. If you want the price you saw in the flyer order online😳… Yep! Even if I say the sale flyer states discount in-store the older guy that cuts the fabric says he ain’t correcting anything all while staring me down like I’m trying to get something for free. I was shocked! Like are you serious! It has happened on more than one occasion. So… I just don’t shop there anymore. Good luck to the rest of you who can take advantage of this type of secret sale…
If he is older my guess is he doesn't want to take the time to learn how to put in the discounts in whatever way he should use
I knew about this pricing. However I have never found a remnant of more than 1 yard. That was pure luck
The people who made those remnants did them wrong 🤣🤣 But, unless they changed the rules, some fabrics can be over a yard (fleece, muslin, drapery linings, and tulle/netting)
Wow. I did not know that. I just always thought the remnants were too expensive. Lol
Wow! I will now look at the remnants every time I shop there. Thank you for sharing.
