Michael's/Joann Craft Store coupon ?

[Megan Turnidge]

I *think* both Michael's and Joann say they honor competitor's coupons. I just got a 50% off coupon to Joann and since that Bind-it-all thread, I'm really convinced to go buy it. But, I'm not sure if either/both these craft stores will actually carry it/have it in stock. Have any of you actually had success using a competitor's coupon at one of these stores? lol

Also, I hate when I grab somehting that doesn't say it's on sale and go to checkout and use my coupon and the clerk is like, it's one sale for 10% off so you can't use your 40% coupon. Have you ever asked them to adjust the product to it's full price and then use the coupon on it? I HATE when I go buy something and it's on sale and my coupon would've been a better deal.
