I wait for sales, usually around thanksgiving and christmas for sure, others I can't remember. I love my die that cuts qty 54 of 2 1/2" charms at a time. that is a die that cuts 9 squares X 6 layers = 54. I make and swap a lot of charms for scrap quilts . I buy one or two dies at a time, as I need them or they go on sale. No rush. Like fabric, is is extra fun to buy just when you are going to need it. (one trick I have learned over the years is if I buy them through amazon.com, the shipping is free (with prime) and the delivery is about one week faster to my house. And they honor the sales because they are accuquilt's site, not a reseller like joAanns). Enjoy this Go for years and years. Mine shows no sign of wear after many many years.
