Save Money on Yarn This Weekend! The Crafty Coupon Roundup for 2/14/2013

Happy Valentine's Day! I don't know about you, but I love yarn, and I love to save money when I buy it! If you feel the same, then read on to see how you can save money on yarn this weekend!

Many of these sales only last through the weekend, so be sure to click on the name of the store for current prices if you’re shopping next week! Make sure too that you know your craft store policies - many take competitor's coupons, and this can really pay off!

Save money this week at…

On the site, enter your zip code to get the coupons for the store closest to you. This week I got a coupon for 40% off one regularly priced item, good through February 16th. Be sure to check your receipts – there are usually coupons printed at the bottom. Michaels has a mobile app with coupons as well, so be sure to download that if you can. Sign up for the email newsletter, and Like Michaels on Facebook for more coupon opportunities.
