I recommend using the coupons at Michael's exactly in the same fashion. Things that RARELY to NEVER go on sale are...hot glue guns, fabric glues, craft glues. Spray paint. Cans of basting spray. Rotary supplies. Wilton Cake supplies. The staples of a good craft room. Styrofoam, Gingher scissors. Cross stitch kits. on and on.
As I work at M's, whenever there is a 50% coupon, you can find me checking out those departments first!
Most seasonal stuff in both J and M will go on sale relatively soon after arrival...it has to move out in a timely fashion.
But if you can't find something to use your coupon on, it isn't the store's fault :lol: You just aren't trying hard enough! LOL
