Are you
trying to get the most from your scrapbooking budget? We all want to
save money, but finding quality discount scrapbooking supplies can be a
challenge. Here are some places to shop the next time you need
scrapbooking materials at a great price. You're sure to find some great
discounts on your favorite papers, tools and embellishments.
Ebay
Ebay is a must for discount shopping. Do a search for the specific
scrapbooking supply you need or just browse the scrapbooking and paper
crafts category. Once you find a great deal, place your bid or use the
"buy it now" feature. Remember to check shipping prices before you place
a bid, and never bid beyond your desired price. Otherwise, you may not
really be getting a discount on your scrapbooking supplies.
Scrapbooking Forums
Check scrapbooking message boards for classified ads. Many of the most
popular forums, like 2 Peas in a Bucket and Willow Traders, offer a
board for members to sell and trade their supplies. There are some great
deals to be found there. Once you've purchased the item, be sure to
provide your shipping information off the board in a private message and
pay for your item promptly.
Dollar Stores
Did you know dollar stores often have scrapbooking supplies. These are
rarely top brand name items, but for a dollar a piece you can stock up
on the basics like paper and adhesives.
Big Discount Stores
Walmart and Target both carry scrapbooking supplies at great prices.
Check their weekly ads for sales as well. Both discount stores have a
wide selection, and carry a variety of scrapbooking manufacturers.
Target often has scrapbooking supplies in their dollar bins as well.
Craft Stores
Craft stores like Michael's and Joann's also have weekly sales, but the
best bargains are their weekly 40% coupons. You can find these coupons
in your local Sunday newspapers. The discount is on regular price items
only. If the item is on sale that week, you can't use the coupon for it.
Don't forget to also check the clearance items at these stores.
Closeout Stores
You can find heavily discounted scrapbooking supplies from top
manufacturers in the industry at closeout stores. If there is a Tuesday
Morning or Big Lots in your area, shop there often for the best deals.
If you find something you like, don't wait to buy it. These closeout
items are in limited quantities, but at fantastic prices.
Local Scrapbooking Stores
Yes, you can find great prices at your local scrapbooking stores. Many
of them have clearance areas and if you join their newsletter list, you
will often get coupons by mail or email. Not to be missed is Archiver's
Hot Spot. You'll find items from Heidi Swapp, Making Memories and more,
and all priced at $1.99! They even run occasional coupons for further
discounts in the Hot Spot.
You can find great discounts on scrapbooking supplies. You just need to
know where to look. Shop often for the best buys, and don't hesitate
when you find something you need. You can stay within your scrapbooking
budget, and still find beautiful scrapbooking products for your albums.
