Boy oh boy did I rack up today, LOL!! Got a whole bunch of stuff I didn't need and saved a lot of money and spent a lot of money .

So here is what I got, a couple of spellbinders grand nestabilities dies for $4.49. I nabbed the circle and oval scalloped ones. Next I got two refills for my 1.5 inch xyron for .89 cents, I also got a lot of recollections bling for .29 and .39 cents. They had the coordinating ribbon, flowers, flourishes in all the colors. They had washi tape in a ton of colors for .69 cents. I also grabbed a couple of DCWV stacks for $2.40. Let's see I brought the long cutting plates and adapter for the cuttlebug which rang up $3 and two sets of cuttlebug folders which rang up $1.99. I got the 4 in a pack that coordinates with create a critter, give a hoot and art deco. Picked up some ribbon for .14 cents too!!!

They even had valentines stacks by k and company for $1.79

Boy oh boy the sales are fantastic!! Now I just have to organize and use everything! For more pictures please visit my blog at[img][/img]http://clippingsbysharondalyn.blogspot.com

That sucks Char. I am originally from Illinois so I have lots of family that still resides in the Chicago area. My aunt tells me all the time that they closed all of the local Michaels near her and that she has to travel about 45 minutes just to go to any craft store. I can't imagine doing that since when I go to Archivers its about a 20 minute drive so I don't go that often.

We go about once a month (sometimes, twice) when we have other things to do. I rarely go more than that.

While we do still have those stores, they never have a CLEARANCE area like they used to (Ms and Js). HL Still does have their CLEARANCE area; but, I rarely see anything there I want/need!

Great haul!! We only got a few things similar!

Going tomorrow!

Our Michael's moves the Clearance section around every so often. I wish they would leave it in one place. JoAnn's changed theirs recently and it's such a mess that it's hard to find anything. Maybe they're trying to discourage use of it...who knows?

good to hear you got such great deals. thanks for sharing.

I just had to go - not, but I did. The store nearest my house had so much ticketed as part of the sale an equally large amoount of clearance that was void of the blue or red tag. I also saw much clearance scattered within the deapartment that simply missed the ticketing process. I bought far too many bling on a roll but at 14 cents a pack, who could blame me. I found Smooch spritzs and inks for $.79. I also found couple of Sizzix dies, Hello Kitty FAiry and a haunted house, all for $1 each. Select colors of MArtha Stewart glitter were $.35. The punches and paper pads were not included - yet. It was tons of fun browsing through all the baskets.

I went to two other nearby Michaels and they had virtually nothing. None of the items included at the first store were part of the sale at either of the later stores. My best find was a Leather We R Memory album for $.70. I have no idea why as it is a new item but I wasn't arguing.

Thanks for letting us know. I went to my local Michael's tonight and a lot of the good stuff had been bought up already. I was really hoping to get a couple of those Xyron refills you had mentioned, but unfortunately, they were all gone already. I was even looking on top of the shelves where they keep some of their "overstock" stuff, but no luck.
BUT I began talking to one of their employees... she told me that their truck came in today so they probably have some in their receiving area to be put on the shelves tonight/tomorrow. She also said if they did get more in, that I should call in the morning and they could set some aside for me (until tomorrow night) so they won't be bought before I get back there. Hopefully that will work out since I just put my last Xyron refill in my dispenser last night... I like to stay well stocked on that (I hate running out of adhesive/refills at a crop).

I did manage to pick up a few other little items but I have to wait until my husband goes to bed so I can smuggle it in!!! Will try to post a picture then.

Thanks for enabling! (Like I really needed it!)

I too got a ton of stuff. It was amazing and almost made me giddy.

I got some cricut cartridges for $2.90. I even went out of my way to hit a second store and was extremly upset when they told me the large rack of cartridges was included in the sale and then they rang up for the normal price. I told them they said they were included and that they were included in the southside store's sale prices but they said it depends on how many they have in stock and varies by store. That is why I never go to that store. The cashier was super snotty.

Congrats everyone on your great buys!! I love a good sale but unfortunately our M's was wiped clean . I did manage to score some packs of ribbon though .

Guess I waited too long to get in on the good stuff. I did get some great prices on stamps...29 cents...57 cents...etc. that we're originally up to $7, which I would not have paid. The new $1, $2, spots were full of new things though.

I did get some good buys- but each store had different items, some the same but nobody here had Xyron refills clearanced cheaper, most had the Inkadinkadoo Scrapping Gear clearanced- most was gone but got a bit, the rest at the store where it wasn't. One had the $1.99 Wilton clearance at 90% off made it all 19 cents. I also got MS yarn at one, my favaorite didn't need item- a John Wayne Poster for 69 cents! I got some rubber stamps, ome had some glitter paper- a few sheets, some eyelets, Jolees pendants under a buck. Some old Yudu left over. Some books that I know that one store had clearanced for over 5 years and never marked down. My biggest complaint that at one a store employee in line behind me- commented about her stuff- Ott Lite, 5 Fiskars cutters, $50 Wilton pans sets, etc. she had on hold (until this went 90%) off- right in front of us all (a big overloaded cartfull). Sure I would have liked one too. Also after asking the employees if this was all they had and told yes this employee with the cart pointed out to another about a cartload of ribbon and jewwlry for her to buy from. Boo hiss on bad taste fro that store. I told another employee later that I thought it was handled badly. But all in all I says Thanks- I got soem things I really didn't need cheap! LOL! BJR.

Just in case you didn't know at least at our M's the clearance that was left is back to what it is priced. But they have marked items down in the aisles after the sale. BJR.
