Ya really gotta shop around...

The other day I received some gorgeous rayon thread from Nancy's Notions.  I love their stuff.  (AND - I even figured out how to insert the picture - and the links that follow - YAY!!) 

Anyway, they had a Madeira (R)** Rayon Value Thread Pack (#MSSA) on sale for $17.99.  The regular price for this pack is a whopping $65.70!!  A pack of 18 spools - 40 wt - 220 yds per spool - for a buck a spool!!   Wow - I couldn't pass it up at that price!!  Good deal, right?  I thought so, too.

So then I get an email from Jo-Ann's - they are having a sale.  Cool!!  I'm browsing around their website and I find their Madeira (R)** Thread Sampler - Rayon Power (#1081629) - 40 wt - 220 yds per spool - same stuff - on sale for $38.49.  The regular price is $54.99!!

Then just for the hell of it - I checked Connecting Threads.  They have the same stuff (#20835) for $28.95 - regular price!!

Now these may not be exactly the same thing - and I may be reading it all wrong - but they sure as hell looked like the same thing to me.  They all were Madeira (R)** - Rayon - 18 pack - 40 wt - 220 yd spools.  I just couldn't believe the range in price!  And - the best part is - I accidentally got the best deal.  I would have been really pissed if I had paid Jo-Ann's $38.49 sale price!!

Now maybe I should stock up before Jo-Ann's has another sale.

Update - I got another email from Jo-Ann's this morning - and I just had to check the price on this thread one more time before I posted this.  They had it at the same price I mentioned above - but get this - they have another set on sale - Madeira (R)** Incredible Threadable Embroidery Boxes .  Regular price $149.99 - on sale for $149.95!!  I can save four cents!!  Seriously?????
