Because there are no fabric stores close to my house, I tend to do a whole lot of online shopping.

Today I was looking at Joanns site and noticed a discount code on the top banner... 30% off one reg priced item. Ok I thought...I am shopping for a christmas gift..a craft item so this will be the best price.

I asked my hubby to order the item using the code so he pulled up the site in a different browser than I use. I was using a firefox browser, hubby pulled up the site in Chrome. Surprise surprise...the coupon that comes up for him is a 40% off coupon! DH tried a few different browsers and has verified that the higher coupon only seems to be coming up when using the Chrome browser.

Lesson learned for me....when using online coupons...check around! BTW....the 40% off one reg priced item code is cpyw256 and is good through sept 13 :)

Sign up for Joann's emails and you will receive 40% and 50% off coupons almost daily.
I just print them out, but if you have a smart phone you can download Joann's app and get coupons on it also. 30% off is not even worth going to the store for.

It could be that you'd never visited the site in Chrome, so it thought you were a new visitor. Sites often give out different discount codes trying to entice new customers to make their first purchase.
