Coupons!

 

      I love coupons, in particular I love how using coupons allows me to take my small decorating budget and stretch it so I can make beautiful things to fill my home or gift to others.

 

      There is a coupon, for EVERYTHING! So it makes sense, why not coupons for craft items? We all want to decorate our houses, make gifts and not break the bank to do so. Thankfully there are coupons that help minimize the cost.

  

      Who takes coupons? Jo Ann's, Michaels and Hobby Lobby do. Walmart will price match

 

      Ok so where do I get them? Well first I go to the websites of all related stores and sign up for their Emails and put myself on the mailing list. I created an Email just for my coupons so I wasn't searching through tons of Emails in my regular Email account.  Then I go directly to their websites and print out the latest coupon.

Did you know that Jo Anns accepts competitors coupons? They sure do, you can use one coupon for every item you purchase. However they all have to end in different numbers under the bar code. I also get coupons from the Sunday paper, and the flyers in the store, and the ones they put in the bags with each purchase.  If you have two or more coupons ending in the same number, nicely ask your checker to please break your purchases up to do multiple transactions and use all of your coupons.
