Michael's up for sale?

A Note on Coupons

Coupons do take time and effort and in my case, are either forgotten at home or there is another brand that is still cheaper than the coupon price.  There are a few coupons that are worth the effort though.  Bed Bath & Beyond sends coupons to the house regularly for 20% off and the Sunday paper has the coupons for Michael's and Jo Ann's.  Gotta have those!
