Okay, now you did it!

I went to a new scrapbook store here to buy what I need for the recipe swap. I bought 12 sheets of paper and that's that. They had nothing else for me to use to make my pages what I want them to look like. Twelve sheets of cardstock and I spent $50! No, not on 12 sheets of cardstock, they other stuff in the store too! How dare they? Pretty 12 x 12 sheets in coordinating colours of black and pink, and overlay sheets and brads and eyelets on sale. How dare they? All that and nothing for my pages! So that means I have to become very creative. Help?

I'm sorry, Cleo. I was being facetious and should have used this: ;-) I don't know how much the mesh actually cost, but I bought a number of other things at the same time, so I just claim the mesh cost me that much. Same thing with the glue dots; I bought other items at the same time.

I can tell you that one time I went to Hobby Lobby and spent less than $2. I went in for one special item and was not going to be hooked into getting anything else at that point. I waited until the following weekend and spent something like $60. ;-)

Arliss (who would never spend $10 for a sheet of mesh or $30 for a roll of glue dots)

You have to get them out of the Sunday's newspaper. They are in the Michael's sale flier.

They don't always have coupons every week though. Wouldn't hurt to sign up for their email list--that's how I get my coupons. I just print them out and take'em in.

Have a save trip!

Michaels coupons usually come out every other week, but pretty soon they should be going to every week, for the holiday season. At least they did last year. Coupons aren't good for stuff that's already on sale, or Martha Stewart stuff. They show up in the Sunday paper ads, and they do not have the fliers in the store.

And Michael's usually will accept AC Moore's coupons and vice versa.

Here on Long Island in NY they don't allow A.C. Moore or Joann's coupons and they don't have an e-mail where you can receive them. Although, A.C. Moore sends me theirs. To bad Michaels is so behind with that!! God bless,

I live 5 blocks from an AC Moore and never get a coupon. I live 9 miles from a Michaels and always get theirs but AC Moore doesn't accept them. Go figure. There is a Michaels supposidly opening by Christmas 6 blocks from my house but I'm on both stores eMail lists and never get their coupons. It is hard when you are budgeting but either forget the coupon or it isn't valid on what you want. I don't have a hobby lobby or joAnns near me.

Signing a form?! Man, why do they make you jump through hoops to get a good deal? Don't they realize they'd make more money if they treated customers better? Sheesh.

Also more addresses to send junk mail to and to sell to junk mail companies.
