Michaels

Michaels has been my go to store for crafts and Christmas decorations and whenever I have a creative DIY activity. I don’t know anyone that does not like Michaels. Everything is in this store. I promise I have never had a time that I needed a squiddly doohickey and they did not have it. Lol
Their prices are great and you can sign up for email deals. The store is packed with so much that you find yourself browsing for one thing and leaving with 50 other items! Be prepared to spend a minimum 20 – 30 min even if you’re just running in to pick up one last thing. Staff is awesome! Me and my sis went and the cashier took a selfie with us!

Whenever the creative juices flow or a coupon heads my way, I’m all over this store looking for cheap craft materials. They have loads of great supplies and sales. I try not to evert buy anything over $ 6 at full price. There’s loads of coupons for Michaels! Did I mention they have sales like every day? OK, just checking.
My craft both setup is mainly from materials found on sale or with coupons. Always check for sales the week after a holiday. Lots of cheap thrills! Everything from breads to paints to floral. Everything is on sale eventually, so hold out for that expensive wishlist item. Get it when its goes on sale.
Btw, all the coupons are on their mobile website and their app. Forget those silly paper coupons that get mangled up in your purse. Just pull out your phone and they can scan the coupon barcode from your phone. Life is so crafty and clever.

Cant find everything here, but it gets me by with just about everything i need for my crafty adventures. The savings are great as they often send out coupons. Download the app on your smart phone and always have the coupons handy! Best selection that i can find in town of fake flowers.

I love going shopping at Michaels with my toddler. He loves looking at all the flowers and trees. We just recently went there to pick out some new Easter baskets. My son also picked out a great shark book to read. I also love that they have a coupon typically in the Zoobook for a discount off of a single regular priced item. They also usually have adds in the paper. I love coming here for all my craft needs.

The packaging of a gift should itself be a gift. Michaels has all of the ingredients to make wrapping special treasures in a way that excites and compels. Especially now they have a selection of boxes that look like old books — too cool.

I like Michael’s, despite the fact that I can usually find any item somewhere else for less. The bonus of Michael’s is that if you want that one item RIGHT NOW you can pay a little extra and go home with it. Instant gratification is sometimes priceless, you know?
The down side to this location is that they always seem understaffed at the registers– if you go at the magic time between groups of people checking out, you’re probably good to go… but I always seem to be ready to check out at the same time as 12 others, leaving us all to wait in a weird line that’s like waiting for an amusement park ride. Really? You need to control the line that much? Does it really get that out of hand? I don’t want to know, actually.
One thing I just found out is that they DO sell individual Sharpie markers of varying sizes– (despite what I’d been told in the past) — but they are not in any spot in the store that would make sense, so listen up: they are in front of the registers in the corner by the office. I know. Weird. Still, good to know, eh?
