At your Michael's, you were allowed to purchase items that rang up as a penny? Mine won't sell those.
You got an awesome haul! |

Problem is, it makes paying 40 or even 50% off seem like a rip off

wow...great haul. i wish our michael's was as giving as yours. All of the ones near me will only let you get the 90% off on items that are in the front of the store. All other clearance is priced as marked. In fact, one store manager balked at giving me a rubber stamp for 70% off, even though the sign specifically said to do so. Again, great haul and enjoy your goodies! | |

Your blog refuses to load for me. I get some of it like the background and I can see there's text but there's no background for the text, just the page background and no scrollbar loads. I can only see the very top of the video window. Luckily, I can click that and it brings me to youtube.
I'm afraid to go because 1. I won't be as lucky and/or 2. I don't need more crap.  Though, damn, now I'm wondering if I could've gotten the spellbinders set even cheaper that's on clearance!
The email does say 'select items' though.
BTW - not all New Englanders say 'idear'. Nor is it just NE'ers. |

BTW - anyone who finds and gets stuff for a penny is lucky. I think they don't have to sell it to you. It's reported as unsold and trashed (rather than the expense of returning to manufucturer I think). It's probably got a penny on it for inventory/reporting purposes. |

I hit 4 Michaels in the area and I suggest all Cameo owners RUN do not walk to Michaels and snag the YUDU all-purpose cutting mats and YUDU adhesive sheet two packs. The cutting mats work beautifully in the Cameo and the two sided adhesive sheets cut like buttah. I snagged 6 mat packs (18 cutting mats), and 9 tubes (18 sheets) of double sided adhesive sheets for a total of $4.30! At one Michaels, they had Ranger Inks, Distressed Stain, and Distressed Ink Pads at 90% - so I snagged a collection of these as well. Total bill - under $10 bucks. I had to dig through the crap - but it was totally worth it. | |

Went over to my local store and they only had junk. As some others have said, the 70 and 90% was only for certain bins at the front of the store and other clearance on the raks was only as marked.
Still, I'm glad I went as I picked up the Fiskars compact stamp press that Jennifer Maguire has convinced me that I need : for $6, some cheaper embossing folders, embossing powder and a cute cheap stamp set, so it was worth it for sure.
Then I made the mistake of heading into target and blowing a giant wad on clearance clothes for my kids for next season. It will be well appreciated next year, but I wanted more craft stuff  | |

2. The white scrapbook organizing jetmax things - the magazine holder (4 slots for magazines) is 90% off too!!

I guess some people just got really lucky.
I had them scan a few items that were clearance but on their regular pegs, and no such luck. Though I did buy 2 sets at the clearance price.
I did get 2 of those mini rolls of ribbon for a penny. They rang up at 14c but they had a red sticker so I pointed out that it should be like 5c (90% off the 49c clearance price). Instead of overriding it she took 90% off the 14c price.
I picked up 2 packages of Yudu flocking and 1 of foil. I don't have a Yudu but I do have the Plaid screen-it adhesive. I also got this Brides invitation kit for 99c. And I can use them for regular cardmaking. Maybe I'll do Easter cards with the large flower printed cards (without the white printable part that goes inside - those can be used for more cards.)
Anyway, definitely not the huge finds the OP got. |

I hit 2 Michaels this morning. Not much luck. I did get a couple of 50% off Valentine pads that I had my eye on. What is odd to me though is that at one store their Valentine's things were 40% off and another it was 50% off. Is that typical??? I did get some MS paper tape for 90% off because it had been marked with the clearance stickers (my guess is it was a mistake) but they were "kind" and honored the sale price along with the other MARKED clearance. If it didn't have a sticker on it they weren't having any part of a discount!!! Mostly just tacky leftovers in front of the store.
Thanks OP and other enablers!!! It was a fun outing anyway!!! | |

After reading this post this morning I headed out and went to 4 different stores.
First one had a bunch of stuff outside for 90% off and stuff by the front entrance for 70% off. Did find the Bella Rouge 12x12 stack for .01. Got a bunch of stamps for 1.49 and 2.99 (not in the clearance area)
Second store only picked up a couple of small things.
Third store was lucky to get three of those black 12x12 Recollections paper storage boxes for 49 cents each. I had also picked up some rhinestone packages that were priced on sale for 1.49 and she also decided to give me the additional 70% off.
Fourth store I picked up some cheap 8x10 picture frames for a nickel each.
Lets just say that I am surprised that it is up to the manager to price things. At 3 of the stores they had Wilton cake decorating things on sale for 1.99 and the 3rd store that I went to had them for 19 cents. | |

Most of the really great stuff was early in the week. But I have three Michaels close by. Was told by a manager that the difference in what was in stock and pricing was due to how the store inventoried. I found some amazing deals on all kinda of things including bling, flowers, paper, stickers and ribbon. I got 15 rolls of small ribbon alone for4 cents each! I'm hoping they do this more often! |

Here's what I got for my grand total of $2.48:
- 1 mint-colored craft pen (will use this a lot since mint is my go-to scrappy color right now, and it was only $0.10)
- 15 rolls of washi tape (some in two-packs, some in three-packs; most were solid colors, which I actually have been wanting, a few were patterned)
- 1 roll of mint with tiny white polka dots MS patterned paper (I don't know if this is self-adhesive or what, but for $0.35 I figured I'd give it a try)
- 1 package of K&Co Valentine's Day truffle chipboard shapes
- 1 roll of Recollections glitter tape
The K&Co shapes, Recollections glitter tape, and a few of the washi tapes are for my Mom - we are celebrating her birthday this week, and I'm going to add them to the present I got her. After I got out of M's, I went to Target and found Lindt and Godiva candy bars on clearance on an end cap, so I'm adding those to her present, too!
The only thing I was disappointed with was the 6x6 pads in the OP's video weren't on clearance at my M's. Other than that, I was happy to get all that stuff for $2.48! |

At my store the washi and stamps are still only 70% off. They do have a lot of other things for 90%. I picked up a few of the extended cuttlebug plates, an alphabet and a platform for 99cents.
I am going to check back tonight and see if they have the paper and drawers for 90% here. I didn't know about them so I didn't look earlier. |

My M's didn't have much left today...I did get my dgd a cute American Crafts frame (has some interchangable embellishments in it) for $ .99, it was orig $29.99 (I wouldn't have paid that). Got a cpl ditto stamp sets for .59/ea, few rubber mtd stamps for $1.19/ea, an Ed Hardy planner for .90, an Ed Hardy magnetic wall board w/magnets for .90. Those were the only 90% off items. I got some clearance washi for $2.49 two pk....but since they were not red stickered, they were not further discounted. I also picked up some recollections self adhesive lace on a roll....about 15 rolls for .79/ea and a cpl recoll lace and crystal boards for .99/ea. I was hoping to find some of the 6x6 paper pads, but mine didn't have any. Still worth the trip | |
