I see sciencewidow has already given you my answer.
Hope you can get a good deal.

You can sign up on www.joanns.com to get emails which will give you coupons as well, double hit!!!
As well as the flyer they send out, current one has a 50% coupon.

I believe that anywhere would be cheaper than JoAnn's. I can't afford to shop there without a coupon or things on sale.
Google it and see what comes up.

You will be lucky if you can use the coupon in JoAnn's. Ours has a Viking Dealer within and JoAnn's coupons are not honored there. If you have a local Viking dealer ask when they will be having a sale.
I do think that the 150 hoop is probably the most useful of all the hoops and almost worth the money!

The discount on ANY Viking products in Joann's is NOT available as Viking leases the floor space inside Joann's. Thus all the products are priced by the Viking dealer. Some dealers give discounts, some don't. Just need to ask your dealer. My friend got one on Amazon.com cheaper than the full price at a Viking dealer.

also, look at craigslist in your area...you might be lucky.

I bought mine on ebay a few years ago and I think, got it for around $50.00. It was the BEST investment I've made...I use it just about ALL the time! The lever on it broke last year and I thought I would have to buy another hoop...but, my dealer had these and in stock, so I bought all he had so I would have extras if needed! You will love it...at any price you might have to pay for it!

Yes, the hoops have really gone up in price in the last few years. We have two Joann's and each have a Viking dealer within the store. You can sign up at the Viking area to get their e-mails that show Viking's sales/discounts. If you don't need it right away, wait for the sale. Good luck!

Joann coupons are not good for the Viking store that is inside. However, the one I go too has % off coupons now and then. I purchased mine when they had 30% off. Like someone said get on the Viking email list.
