Like Fran36 said, if you go to the teacher's blog or website, you can usually get any of their classes for much cheaper. I always check their website before I buy a class and get a great discount!! I am taking over 20 classes. No, I don't think I will watch all of them all the way through, but I will watch the parts I am interested in. I have watched over 10 complete classes so far. I so enjoy the classes.
For the LQS shops: They do charge so much and it's for just a few hours on Saturday. I get more for my buck with Crafty classes. I still take classes from my LQS that is 1/2 hour away, but they offer so few classes I'm interested in. They might have one class for offer a month. If I want to drive 2 1/2 hours away, I can find more classes, but they start at 8 am and I have to get up and out of the house so early in the a.m. I benefit more by having Craftsy classes on my iPad and watching them when I want. I can choose the time and rewind all I want and no one knows but me. And now all of you. Oops!
