Thread: Halloween Merchandise Watch 2007

Tweet

I started this same thread about this time last year and figured I would be doing it again... Back to school is beginning to go up in stores so that means Halloween Merchandise is just around the corner. Let's keep each other informed of any sightings!

stuff around here doesnt come out very early, but i'll let you know

Michaels has their LeMax Spooky Village and some misc. Halloween signs, bottles, statues, etc. out already. JoAnn's has their Halloween fabric out, even some nice flannel for those chilly fall nights.

Thanks skullin, i'll probably go to michaels tomorrow with my coupon.

The Michaels here in North Florida only have some pumpkins, no Lemax or anything yet. Must be a regional thing. I asked the saleswoman in St. Augustine when Spooky Town would be out, and she thought maybe in a few weeks! I hope not! I preordered a few Lemax items from eHobby earlier this spring, and I just love what I got. Seems to be a lot of new pirate stuff, yippee!! I am so looking foward to the new stuff.

Where do you get the Michael's coupons from?
I never seem to see them.

Around here they are in the adds. 50% off framing and 40% of any regularly priced item. Check the store by the main entrance they usually have their adds there with the coupon.
Also you can check Sunday's paper the adds in the mail, with the grocery store adds.

From my experience it is a good idea to buy right away if you have the 40% coupon. Micheals coupons are good only on "regular" priced items. Michaels usually has sales on their halloween items beginning late Sept for 25%-30% off. It is much better to buy early with the coupon to get the best discounted price and you don't run the risk of the item being out of stock.

Thanks! We have a Michael's in the "big city" so about 40 minutes away. We don't get their paper, actually we quit getting any papers since we both can read them at work.
Are the discounts frequent? Do they always have coupons at the front of the store or is it at select times?
I'll have to stop by there when we go to check otherwise I won't know unless you guys post it. The store is off the beaten path, but I'll have to make it a stop!

That is so true with Michaels, about the coupon. You have to buy early to make best use, cause once they start the 25% off, they hardly ever go back to regular price. And they don't restock here. Look for the coupon in their insert on Sunday. If you don't get an insert, check their web site and they will tell you if there was an ad that week, or sign up for their alerts. Sometimes there's an ad but our paper leaves it out. When there's an ad and coupon, call your friends and drag them over there!
