Crafting Coupons

For those of you who like crafting...this post is for you!

This past Sunday, there were 3 coupons in the DFW paper/ads - Michaels, Joanns, Hobby Lobby. (This also may be true for areas outside of DFW, so you may want to check your local paper).

Some interesting facts about these craft stores that you may or may not know:

Hobby Lobby (HL) - HL usually has a 40% off coupon every other week (this week there is a 40% off coupon). The original coupon is found in the newspaper on the same page as the HL ad. If you go to HL's website, you will find the coupon to print. You can print and use the coupon every day. On the weeks that do not have a 40% off coupon, there is usually a different type of coupon (30% off xxxx) on the website. Make sure you check the fine print on the coupon...it's only for regular price merchandise and there are a few restrictions.

Michaels - Michaels coupons are found in the ad insert in the Sunday newspaper. Inserts are usually every other week (there is one this week). You can sign up/register on Michaels website and receive coupons via email. Michaels also accepts original competitor coupons (meaning it has to be the original coupon...not one you have printed from a website or email). Michaels coupons are usually only for regular price merchandise and have restrictions. (Sometimes the coupons do cover sale items...so make sure you read the coupon).

Jo-ann - Jo-ann coupons are also found in the ad insert in the Sunday newspaper. Inserts are usually every other week (there is one this week). You can also sign up to receive emails from Jo-ann and they will send you coupons via email. I've heard that Jo-ann also accepts original competitor coupons (but I personally haven't tried it yet at Joann). Joann coupons are for regular price merchandise and have restrictions...however, their restrictions don't see to be as strict as Hobby Lobby or Michaels....so make sure you read the coupon.
