Michael’s Super Finds

[ Edited ]

My daughter and I needed new xmas wreaths for our front doors. Michaels is having a 50 to 60% off on their wreaths, already decorated.  With the sale, my Michael's reward coupons and my senior discount, we got two 24" full wreaths - 16$ for both!  She couldn't believe it.  I shop at Michaels a lot for their artist canvas, so I accumulate rewards quick.  They were 50$ a piece originally and neither of us will pay that for a door wreath.

 

I think today may be the last day of the sale, but sometimes they let it roll for another week. They had all xmas stuff on sale.

I love looking at their decorated items, especially when they put them on sale. I know I couldn't make some of the centerpieces they have look nearly as nice as they do.

 

I've never bought one of the wreaths but have gotten several centerpieces and once a four foot decorated tree.


The tree itself was not of the best quality but it had been decorated with the most whimsical ornaments that I just couldn't pass it by.

I find them to be just like the other hobby and craft store where everything is on sale all the time.  

 

Instead of wasting paper printing up the sale signs with "50% Off" just lower the prices on the actual items and do away with the sale signs.

 

At the end of the season, move everything to a Clearance Section of the store.

Dud not know there was a senior discount.

I enjoy looking at their craft wreaths.  But I end up spending too much for supplies to do myself!

@CelticCrafter - People like sales and coupons. JCPenney did the lowering price thing and no discounts and their sales dropped significantly. I actually shopped there more because of it. When they went back to sales and coupons I stopped going there again.

I had no idea there is a senior discount at Michaels! No one has ever mentioned it to me when I check out.  Hmmm.  Is it a particular day or what?  Please tell me more.
