Every week, ACMoore has stuff on sale and a coupon good for (at least) 40% off of one non-sale item. Sometimes they offer 50% instead of 40% off. This week's coupon is one of the 50% ones.
Note: although the flyer you get in the mail only has one coupon in it, the coupon rules are one per day per customer. Since my local ACMoore is in feasible driving distance, I try to visit frequently during a 50% off week to pick up the more expensive items on my wishlist. I win by getting a great price on one item, and they win because I always see other stuff I *need* :lol during each visit. But, if you can stay disciplined, you'll save money. Me, I just have a wonderful time keeping my ACMoore stores in business!:manyheart
So, how to get the other 6 days' worth of coupons? Two ways:
First, ask for it at the cash register or customer service desk. The two stores I go to always provide it when asked. As far as I know, it is a company-wide policy to do so; you'll have to try it out at your local store. They won't offer unless you ask.
Second, when you sign up at http://www.acmoore.com (http://www.acmoore.com/) to get their weekly specials by email, the email has a internet browser link to an window with the sales flyer and the coupon for the week (email link usually says something like "having trouble viewing the graphics?"). Just follow the links, print the coupon out, and you're good to go (shopping, that is!). To save on paper, I select the coupon image and paste it into a Word document; 3 fit on a page if I shrink the margins a little - print 2 pages, cut 'em up, and I'm ready!
I think ACMoore has the nicest and most trusting sales and return policies of any store I know, craft or otherwise. I consider myself honor-bound to be the kind of customer who never abuses their policies, is sneaky with returns or mis-handles merchandise (doesn't it make you mad to see a pattern book all torn up by someone carelessly jamming it back into the rack?:irk). And when I see an opportunity, I compliment/thank the staff and manager. (Umm, this last section sounds pretty pious; :blush I don't mean to preach; just thinking on how rare their attitude is in the commercial world, and how to encourage them to continue in it!)
