Michael’s Craft Store Coupon for 50% off One Item Today and 30% off Entire Purchase Tomorrow

Michael's craft store coupon

Michael’s Craft Store is offering some great coupons for this weekend! First, you can print a coupon for 50% off one item with this printable Michael’s coupon.  This coupon is good today, Friday April 6th, 2012 ONLY!

Second, you can print a coupon for 30% off your entire regular priced purchase for tomorrow, Saturday April 7th, 2012 ONLY.

So this what we recommend – if you had a larger item that you needed to get, we recommend getting it today with your 50% off.  Then tomorrow head back in for all of the little crafting items you might need and use the 30% off coupon! It would probably be worth the two different trips if you like to do a lot of crafting and have some things on your list to buy!  If you only have smaller items to buy, the 30% off your entire regular priced purchase is probably going to yield much higher savings.

When I have crafting projects to do, I keep a list of things I need and then I will by them slowly and sometimes one item a week at Michael’s with coupons like above.  It works for me as I live fairly close to a Michael’s and so I can stop by when running my other errands.

After this post, I am going to take some time and put together and order to refill our kids’ craft shelf for future fun! If you are a homeschooler or run a preschool, you might want to get our your list of needed craft supplies and check and see if any are offered on Oriental Trading for less right now too!  Plus, if you have summer parties, birthday parties, etc. – check those items too as you might just get a super bargain and NO SHIPPING charges!! YAY!

FREE Online Craft Classes – Register for FREE

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy here.

by Cassie on March 20, 2012

Moms grab your daughters and enjoy some craft time together for FREE!

Right now you can join the site Craftsy.com through this link HERE for FREE registration.  They have a lot of projects, classes and offers at discounts.  But even better, is that they will have a featured class that is FREE and right now the FREE class is a quilting class!

Here are details about this FREE online class:

The Craftsy Block of the Month is a completely free, year-long online class instructed by expert quilter, Amy Gibson. There are 12 installments, each one posted on the first day of every month. The first 10 months/installments teach our students two new exciting blocks (brand new designs or funky spins on traditional blocks). The last two months are dedicated to finishing the quilt. At the end of the class, our students will have full-size and one-of-a-kind quilts. Like all of our classes, students can view it whenever it’s convenient for them, and can watch them however many times they’d like. It’s filmed in high-definition, and it’s fully interactive—students can ask Amy questions as they go.

I love this idea as our girls and I are always looking for things like this to do together. There are actually lots of ideas and offers on the craftsy site for any type of craft hobby!  Right now we have been enjoying scrapbooking together, but want to add to the list and this is a great idea!

The registration was really quick and then it gives you access to see the classes, including the featured FREE one!

Register for your FREE Craftsy account HERE for access to the different classes and ideas.

This deal is backwards :)  

It only costs .01, which is essentially free, and the shipping is $5.49 – it should be the other way around, but however you look at it, this handy little popular hide-a-key is only $5.50 shipped! It is a good deal as we have seen these things priced at a lot higher. 

Please note: the .01 price can increase at any time!!

Head to Amazon HERE for the Hide-A-Key Rock for $5.5o shipped

2012 Entertainment Books $7.79 Each Plus Issue with the In-Laws

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy here.

by Alex on February 29, 2012

First, you’re probably wondering what we are referring to regarding the issue with the in-laws.  Well, each year Cassie’s parents buy us a copy of the Entertainment book.  I open it each year – already knowing what it is, but loving it because its one of our most prized gifts each Christmas!  But this year, my in-laws have called us a few times: “We’re getting ready to go out – can we borrow your book?”  Its not the worst thing in the world, but when we both love the same places – well, you can see the problem. :)   So, we’re hoping this sale can help clear up this issue and get the in-laws their own copy – plus an extra one for ourselves.  LOL!

We do assume you know about the Entertainment Book.  This book is HUGE and has hundreds of coupons in it for 50% off or Buy One Get One FREE coupons for the businesses in your local area!  You can usually find these right before Christmas for $30-35 depending on your area, which means a bit of a costly gift – which can truly yield some sweet savings.  This today only sale will let you cash in and get each of these for only $7.79 when you consider all the discounts.

If you want to skip all the steps and get a decent deal, you can grab your two books for $15.50 each by going directly to the Entertainment Book site here.

Or you can follow the following steps to drop the price to $7.79 each:

  • Head to the Ebates site HERE and register.  Here’s where you will register for a $10 gift card of your choice (the most popular are displayed below) that will be mailed to you in a few days after your purchase.  Please note that you will not receive the gift card just by signing up, but completing a $25 purchase – which your Entertainment book qualifies for!

  • After you register, search for Entertainment.com in the search box (top right)
  • Click through the link that looks like the image below: By doing this extra step – you will get your 17.5% cash back rebate applied to your Ebates account plus your $10 gift card that you chose will be mailed to you in a few days after your purchase. Please note cash back rebates apply directly to your Ebates balance and are either sent by check or PayPal every three months.

  • Once you are at the Entertainment.com site, click on the Order your books now! for the 2 for $29 sale!

So how does this work out for the $7.79 each book?  You get two books with shipping for $31, earn back $5.43 in your Ebates account, and counting the $10 gift card your final price is $15.57 – or $7.79 each book!

Melissa and Doug Safe Child Scissors 2-Pack Only $2.98 with FREE Shipping (Normally $15 for the set)

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy here.

by Cassie on February 27, 2012

Update, these have not gone up in price to $4.62 for the pair, but still a good deal.

We love Melissa and Doug toys, but they also have practical items too.  We actually have a set of these scissors from about 2 -years ago and we let our then less than 2 year old use them with ease at the time.  She is now over 3 now and they still work great.  All of our kids actually use them (except the 9 month old :) ) and it sets our minds at ease because they are safe for them all to use.

The better news is that they are super cheap on Amazon right now! They normally sell for $15 for two pairs, but on Amazon, they have them marked down to $2.98 for a set of two and FREE shipping with Prime or a $25 or more purchase! This is a great way to grab some, even if you run a preschool or daycare, it is a good deal to stock-up on for cheap and have less worries! We use them almost daily in our homeschool.

Please note, these prices can change at any time!

Head to Amazon HERE for the Melissa and Doug Kid Safe Scissors 2-pack deal

See more current Amazon Deals to see if there is any other good deals you can bundle into your order for the FREE shipping with $25 purchase!
