Michaels

I’m not a huge fan of Michaels. It happens to be in the same complex as Target and Kohls so I stop here often to buy art supplies for my kiddo. While they do have a great selection of supplies for kids, you really should take advantage of any and all coupons you can use here because some of this stuff isn’t so cheap. I’m super sensitive to smells and for some reason they put the fragrance and candles and oils and potpourri (they still make that stuff…) in the front of the store so that it totally smacks you in the face when you walk in. So, while I’m trying to pick out some fun craft to do with my kiddo, all I can really think about is my burning nose and getting out as quickly as possible… But that’s kind of hard too because there is always a huuuuuuuge line and never more than two registers open. Grrrrrr. Perhaps it’s time to find another place to shop.

Not a very knowledgable or helpful staff here. Also understaffed, as others have noted.

Very clean store. The clerk at the register is great for tips on savings. The paint department needs to pay more attention to restocking. I visited a week ago and the very same colors were out. Maybe they are popular colors but it was the same 7 I looked for previously.

My favorite craft store. JoeAnns is good for fabric but not many can beat Michaels when it comes to craft supplies. I don’t really like how this one only offers military discount on Wednesdays. The ones I’ve been to in other states have done it all week. This one is also very very small. You still got everything you could want, just in a much tighter space. Michaels an be a nit pricey, but they always have awesome sales. THAT’S when you gotta go. For example, the frames were $ 50 off this time. Pretty good stuff!

I don’t shop here a whole lot, but I get my money’s worth when I do.
This winter was the season of crafts! My daughter wanted to make beaded ornaments to give to relatives this year. We bought a tub of beads and 2 packets of pipe cleaners for $ 12. It was enough to make at least 40 ornaments. I didn’t have a chance to count all of them because she gave all of them away as soon as she made them!
We also needed to buy her costume pieces for the Christmas play. For $ 4, we bought enough supplies to make 5 nice looking halos. Both of my grandmothers loved Micheals. They loved crafts and would buy all of their acrylics, poster paints, wooden frames, and flower arranging items here. My maternal grandmother would take me to Micheals for découpage supplies. My paternal grandmother would take me here to buy shells so we could make Sailor’s Valentines.
Micheals is a pretty good store. I wouldn’t suggest it for professional level painting, but it is a nice stop for crafting. The deals here can be fantastic. I know my mother saved a bundle on the decorations for my wedding reception by buying many of the items here.
This is a great store for kids and adults alike.

Great location with a good selection of craft items and frames. This location also carries a lot of woodworking products that aren’t available at other locations. Michael’s recently began a loyalty program called «Michael’s Rewards» which will rewards members with $ 5 for every $ 100 spent, plus a 20% discount welcome offer. There is also a birthday discount of 20%. Michael’s is really good about giving coupons at time of purchase which can be redeemed the following week. It’s usually a coupon for 40% off a regular priced item, so it comes in handy!

Well in a mind set as a man, I don’t see me doing lots of business there, yet when I need a frame or mantel for my car collection, this is my first choice. Else I accompany my wife when she needs stuff and put on cruise control/​auto pilot *SMILE.
