Joann Sales - Patterns and Thread

This weekend (Friday August 19 - Sunday August 21) Joann will be having a 50% off sale on all thread (regardless of brand) and a 5 for $5 sale on Simplicity patterns.  I am only looking for one pattern, but regardless I may get some more thread.  Really, what I will be needing soon is more needles, but I am planing to order from CTS USA, since buying needles in bulk will be far less expensive than purchasing the 4 packs from Joann.  I haven't bought from them before, but I have heard good things, so I will be dedicating part of the next pay check for to a major restocking of the needles.
