Joann’s (the mothership for crafters everywhere) is sending out emails to their loyal cult members, beckoning to us with the new hot advertising phrase: “You pay what we pay”, because now you can get the 15% employee discount sale on-line.

Because hey, if it works for the auto manufacturers, it might as well work for everybody else! Never mind I can take a 40% off coupon into the Joann store & save more without paying for shipping. And they take competitor’s coupons. Hmm. Wonder if the Volvo dealership takes Joann’s coupons? I’ll take the Cross-Country XC70, oh, and yes, here’s my coupon…..

Now, if only Crate & Barrel would have one of those “employee pricing” sales…..or Williams-Sonoma….. or Thai Place…… mmmmmm. A girl can dream.
