The Crafty Coupon Roundup! 8/08/2013

It’s Thursday again, and the sales and yarn deals are up again for the week! I’ve gotten a lot of feedback that these posts aren’t as useful anymore as they were at one time. So grab the links today, and we’ll try something new next Thursday!

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! Please note that the JoAnn and Craftsy links in this article are affiliate links – but that doesn’t change your prices at all!

Save money on yarn this week at…

Michaels
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 regular-priced item! Be sure to check your receipts – there are usually coupons printed at the bottom. Michaels has a mobile app with available 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.

Yarn sales at Michaels this week include Lily Sugar’n Cream for $1.49; Vanna’s Choice for $2.79; Sashay for $3.99; and Caron One Pound, Snuggly Wuggly Big, and Loops & Threads Impeccable Big for $6.99.

This week’s flyer from Joann’s features a coupon on the back for 40% off any regular priced item, good through August 10th. In the upcoming flyer, there is a coupon for 40% off good though August 24th, as well as a coupon for 50% off that will be good August 16 – 18. Check inside the current flyer as well as the website for the daily deals this week too! There are also usually flyers inside the front door of the store, so always check the basket on your way in.

To get another Jo-Ann coupon, click the logo above, and at the bottom of the page under Shop, click on Store locator. Enter your zip code (if it doesn’t already show your nearest store). When you get the results, click on “More Store Information” and a link to a coupon will pop up. On the website there are more coupons, but they change quickly so check there before you shop. Be sure to sign up for the emails, their mailing list, text alerts, get the app, and Like Jo-Ann Fabrics on Facebook for even more deals.

Hobby Lobby

Hobby Lobby has the usual printable coupon for 40% off any regularly priced item. There is an iPhone app and a new Android app that include the same 40% off coupon and ad info, and also have a feature that let you check gift card balances. You can now get the same savings on your non-Apple/Android smart phones by visiting m.hobbylobby.com and showing the cashier the coupon on your phone.

Shopping online? Another great alternative to the above is Smiley’s Yarns, as well as Knitpicks, and WEBS. I’ve also heard lots of good buzz lately about Deramores, and they have both US and UK sites, with great shipping rates! Additionally, many manufacturers, such as Lion Brand, take orders directly. And they often run sales – sign up for their emails to keep up. And if you are lucky enough to have a local yarn store, be sure to shop there too if you can – small businesses need our support!
