It seems I am always making something, or planning to make something, or both. I enjoy crafting tremendously, but if I am not careful it can be very expensive.
We live near both a Michael's and a Joanne's (a super one, with all the extra stuff like knitting, scrap booking, cake making, etc.), and almost every week in the paper there is one coupon for Michael's and one for Joanne's - usually 40% off one item, sometimes 50%.
The nice thing is that you don't have to go to each store as each store takes their competitor's coupons!
Joannes will let you use both in one transaction! Michael's will often make you do two transactions.
I love it - it saves me money and the time hand hassle of going to both stores!
Plus we were there last night to pick up the few items we needed for Christmas crafting (a lot we already had on hand), and the Christmas baking stuff was all 25% off.
Head on over to Crystal's for more Frugal Friday Tips

That's very useful to know! I use the 40% Joann's coupons from time to time, but hadn't known that the stores would accept each others' coupons.
I too, did not know that they accepted competitor coupons. Now that is a handy tip. Thanks so much!
Hi Mrs. Pear!
I am jealous that you live so near BOTH of these stores! I used to, before getting married and moving north in the state, and I took them for granted. Now I only have Hobby Lobby to look to *sigh* :)
Happy crafting!
