%75 off Fleece!

So, I haven't gotten around to it yet, but I will be writing a post about the fleece training pants I made for Bunny.  She is now, officially, potty trained even at night--though we still put a diaper on her at night--and so I find it necessary to make something somewhat accident proof for when we're out and about (though when we're in the house we stick with Gerber training pants--the non waterproof kind--because they absorb a little but they don't stop Bunny from realizing that she just had an accident.  Anyway I went to Joann's Fabric yesterday with my %50 coupon that I got in the mail and a %20 coupon that I printed in a google search (actually, I think you can find both of them if you google search it) and I discovered that Fleece was %50 off.  My %20 off coupon was good for even sale items so I bought 1/2 yard of fleece in pink monkeys--per Bunny's request--and some coordinating purple to go with it.  Those went on the coupon.  Then, I went to the remnants bin.  There were LOTS of fleece remnants, and remnants are always %50 off the current price of the fabric which means that they were %75 off! IT was such a sweet deal I got about 6 or 7 large fleece remnants (they're almost always just under a yard long) and a couple of flannel remnants for my soaker strip in the training pants. What a deal!

And in case you're wondering, here's a sneak peek of what Bunny's Pull-up cloth trainers look like.  It'll try to post a tutorial soon, so keep bugging me if I don't :-D

 The fleece is for some waterproof-ish protection, and then there's a snap in soaker.  The best thing is, I can take the soaker out and use these either alone when we feel confident enough, or I can put them over her Gerber trainers.  Either way, they're sweet.

$5 off $5 purchase

I've discovered that it's really good to be on mailing lists for places such as Joann's Fabrics or Victoria's Secret because sometimes they unintentionally send you free stuff!

Both the last circular they sent me and this new one have $5 off a purchase of $5 or more coupons in them! The one coupon expires this Saturday and the other is valid for a week starting this Sunday. 

I'll use mine for a purchase of no more than $5 of flannel or some other absorbent fabric to go into my NB diaperkits that are coming. 

How do you sign up?  You can do so in the store.  Just tell them you want their coupons and they'll give you a form.  They'll start coming before you know it and you can save on so many things!

And are you a teacher?  Well, that entitles you to %15 off your entire purchase every time you shop there.  Yeah.  Teaching has some great perks even if it does mean I'm not the stay-at-home-mom I long to be :-D.
