The Triceratops Pinterest Dilemma

I adore Pinterest. It is a great source of inspiration and there are so many amazing things to be explored. I'm sure my non-crochet friends are sometimes annoyed by the amount of crochet-related pins I post. I'm not joking either...just look at how many boards I have that are related to crocheting, knitting, sewing and crafting. Yes, I could have joined pinner's anonymous, but I had something equally troubling happen and I hope this calls my crochet friends to action to clean up your boards and practice better pinning habits.

The situation I am sharing happened twice and both instances occurred very closely together.

The Pin that Caused the Dilemma

Fritz Review: Michaels Coupon Policy

I thought I struck Pinterest Heaven when I found this pin claiming to explain how you can use a boatload of coupons at the Craft Store Triumvrate: Hobby Lobby, JoAnn's and Michaels.

I poured over every word of the blog and even read some parts two or three times. I took this wealth of knowledge and headed to Michaels with a boatload of coupons and an extra bounce in my step. The sun was shining. The birds were chirping. I think I even heard Ray Stevens singing Everything Is Beautiful.

Then, I reached the counter and gave the checkout attendant all my coupons. He looked them over and said he could only use one. *Insert sound of record player scratch here.*
