Thread: Michaels and Lemax 2009

Tweet

Well, we checked out the display at Michaels, and decided on the Witches' Brew Haus today, and the Mausoleum next week. Bought the Brew Haus (with a 50% off coupon) brought it home...and the durn thing didn't work!
Back to the store next week...

Went today and got a few pieces...

-Spooky Town Express
-House of Wax
-Phantoms Opera House
-Haunted Hearse
-Bone Appetit
-Funeral Photo
-

Went to Michael's today and got the funeral photo and another small piece. One clerk told me couldn't use 2 coupons even if different sources. The cashier saw I had multiple coupons and said I could use 2. There you go, no one there knows anything. The trick now is to get that same cashier every time I go.

My kids have been bugging me to buy these, maybe this year I'll start collecting.

My wife returned the Witch Brew Haus today, and they had to go through 4 boxes ubntil they found one that worked properly.
I hope it doesn't become this year's Octopus-O-whirl...

I walked into Michaels on Sunday and picked up the House of Wax and the Pumpkin Ride. I live in New York and my record is 6 forty percent off coupons in one day. I just kept buying one a t a time, taking them to my car and walking back in. The cashiers are quite stupid. I did notice that Michaels is carrying far fewer pieces than they ever had. They seem to be putting a lot of stock in their signature pieces and not selling a lot of the pieces Lemax puts out. I hate that since they are way more expensive online.

Boo! Happy Halloween!!!

I have currently posted the new Michaels 50% off coupon which is good until August 3rd in the Villages section, which will be just in time for the delivery of the Halloween props during the week of July 27th.

The cashiers are much better now accepting the 50% off coupons than years ago. They don't seem to have a problem anymore going out to your car with you purchase and coming back in to get another item with the coupon.

Preston, on the Dedicated to Lemax site, there is a link to (ehobbytools.com).
Is that a good site to order from? Is there someone there that can check to see if the item I would be ordering is in good working order before I order?
