Looking for Cheap Craft supplies

[ASweetHeart]

For Easter this year, I'd like to buy my DD's a tote and fill it up with misc craft supplies. Where's the cheapest place to buy this sort of stuff?

Do you have an AC Moore?? They have usually cute little craft porjects etc for pretty cheap. Sometimes they run awesome sales in clearance on those items also. I have heard Garden Ridge is also a nice place to look around, I do not have one here so I cant tell you if its pricey or not.

ACMoore, JoAnns, and Michaels often have 40-50% off coupons and sales. Clearance at JoAnns is usually great.

Oriental Trading company is great for little things, my sister is a teacher and gets loads of "stuff" there...but as I recall it's usually a large volume for a good price.

Dollar Tree often has great craft supplies, all for a dollar. They also have great baskets and containers. Recently, I saw some really cute Easter baskets there. The individual stores vary as far as what they carry, so if you don't see much at one store, try another.

Michael's often has good stuff in its dollar bins. Get the 40% off one non-sale item coupon from the ad before you go, because they don't have ads or coupons in the store.

Sometimes you can find good craft supplies in the Dollar Spot at Target. Last time I was there, they had small sets of gel pens, which are fun to work with, and some cute Beatrix Potter sticker sets. Also, I noticed that many of their craft & scrapbooking supplies were on clearance.

I buy arts & crafts supplies all the time, and I've gotten tons of great stuff at Dollar Tree, Michael's dollar bins, and Target's Dollar Spot. It's kind of potluck what you find, but that's part of the fun for me.

Thanks for the replies!! I went to AC Moore yesterday, and with the amount of stuff I'd like to buy it'd end up costing me a fortune!! I know they have 40% off coupons, but It'd take me a million trips to get it all.

Target has thier crafting sets and such for little kids and teens on clearance right now. There are all kinds of things. Also there is clearance in the scrapbooking section.

LIKE PP said try target's dollar spot and also the dollar tree.
