Craft Store Coupons

Over the course of several years of crafting I have accumulated a small stockpile of various craft supplies. I call it small, but I'm sure my husband would choose a few different words to describe it. The budget is tight these days so whenever I can find a project to do using supplies I already have on hand it's like winning a jackpot. It does not take much to make me happy. When I do need a craft supply though, I try to always use a coupon to make my purchase. Why pay full price for something if you don't have to?

If you live near a Hobby Lobby or AC Moore store, you are lucky! They consistently have coupons on their websites that you can print for 40% or 50% off any one regularly priced item. Of course, there is some fine print and certain (usually big ticket) items are excluded, but you can use the coupon on almost anything.

You can find the Hobby Lobby weekly coupon here. For the AC Moore coupon, follow this link and enter your zip code. It will tell you the nearest store and also have a link to a coupon.

Michaels does not regularly post coupons on their website but if you check the Sunday paper, they often have a store ad with a coupon on it.

Joann does not have store coupons on their website but their supplies are available for online purchase. Here are some coupon codes:
40% Off the Regular Price of One Item (Code: DECA840)
Free shipping on orders of $35 or more (Code: DECFSA835)

These coupons expire 1/16/09.

Also, if you sign up for their email lists at their websites, you will receive notices when their weekly store ad is out in addition to periodic special offers. I just received an email today from Michaels which included a printable 40% off store coupon.

I'm hoping to get a rotary cutter and mat soon and will definitely be using a coupon when I make that purchase!
