ALWAYS check out their clearance aisles! Was in MD visiting my daughter and got 88% off some of the nicest home decor. Can we say Christmas & birthday presents bought ahead of time? Also got a 20 yd bolt of trim for $6 and change. Not to rain on the parade, BUT, as with all chain stores some are the pitts (like my local one-small , always a mess and employees with attitude :cry: ) and some are amazing. Of the Hobby Lobby stores I've visited-lots-most are really nice, have really good deals and helpful employees. Definately sign up for the email circular. It comes early Sunday morning so you can plan your week's worth of purchases.
