Bead and craft junkies are at an all time high. I myself am into making jewelry and am still fairly new at it. So I shop for less expensive beads because, lets face it... Prices are outrageous for anything these days.
When I find a place that gives back to my loyalty, and gives perks for all the money I spend, ( and I spend A LOT), Its rare and such a relief sometimes.
But when I shop at Michaels, besides the occasional coupon, I save almost nothing at this store and they barely have sales that give me any kind of noticable relief. For the amount of money I spend in a week, it's a disappointment. Hobby lobby and Joanns are the way to go for this type of materials.
