But I got a flier in the mail last week about a &#8220;Grand Opening&#8221; of a remodeled store not too far from me. It had patterns on sale for 99 cents, 50% off notions and a bunch of other coupons. I did need a few things so I decided to go on Sunday. <\/p>\n<p>On the way up, I noticed that they were giving away gift cards to the first 100 people. Cool, but I wasn&#8217;t worried if I didn&#8217;t get one. We ended up getting two! I walked in first, they handed me a $5 gift card, then Justin walked in shortly after me and he got one too. Score $10!<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s what I got:<br \/>Zipper for a hoodie I&#8217;m going to make<br \/>2 spools of Maxi-lock thread<br \/>Tracing wheel<br \/>3 patterns<\/p>\n<p>All for $3! I actually could have used both $5 gift cards and got money BACK from Hancock&#8217;s but I figured I could use it next week since the sale continues. (And they are giving out more gift cards Saturday and Sunday at this location.)<\/p>\n<p>Something else I saved&#8230;. My <a href=\"http:\/\/images.patternreview.com\/sewing\/patterns\/newlook\/6407\/6407.jpg\">New Look shirt<\/a>. I had the collar attached and had just finished attaching the sleeves when  it just didn&#8217;t look right on me. I determined I needed a shoulder adjustment but of course I had to rip out the collar and sleeves to fix the shoulder. So I think I solved the bunchy problem. We&#8217;ll see today when I attach everything. <\/p>\n<p>Justin&#8217;s super savings: Have you heard of this store, Aldi? I&#8217;ve seen ads for it in the Sunday paper but have never gone. Justin wanted to stop there after my score at Hancock&#8217;s. It&#8217;s a little weird that they make you pay a quarter to get a shopping cart but I think it makes up for all the deals you can score there. Here&#8217;s what we got:<\/p>\n<p>Bag of trail mix<br \/>Pringles<br \/>Bread<br \/>Tortilla&#8217;s<br \/>Cheese<br \/>3-bacon wrapped filet&#8217;s<br \/>energy drinks<\/p>\n<p>All for $18! I told Justin to look at the dates on everything and they were all fine.  Has anyone else shopped at that store? It&#8217;s small but if you have a big family it&#8217;d be worth it to check it out. <\/p>\n<p>But, no matter how much we saved, it all went out the window when we had to fill up Justin&#8217;s car with gas. So much for Sunday savings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t usually go to Hancock&#8217;s for anything even though I am a &#8220;preferred card member,&#8221; whatever that means.
