You Didn’t Win The Lottery But…….

April 1, 2012 by jd wolfe

Have I got a deal for you!  I just learned of this and HAD to share it with my crochet friends.  If you have a Hobby Lobby, Michael’s, Joann’s or other craft store that has coupons available online, you can get them printed off whenever you want or need them at any office supply store that has access to the internet!!  Wow!  No need to use your own ink and paper.  No need to dig through your purse only to discover that you have last week’s coupons with you.  You walk right in, plop down your pocket change (less than 25 cents per), and they’ll print off as many as you want.

So, spread the word.  I don’t think we need to abuse this, but it sure is a great way to be sure you have the best and most current coupons available in your area.  At the office supply store near me, it costs .17 per coupon.  And, they ask how many I want!!  It’s convenient to me and is open longer hours than all the craft stores so I can get those coupons any time I want for pennies.

    You can just show the Hobby Lobby coupon on a smart phone and skip printing it out.

    Did you know that both Hobby Lobby and Michael’s will accept the coupon right on your phone? Just show them! No wasted resources AT ALL!

    I just pull up the coupon on my smart phone and show it at the register at Hobby Lobby and they accept it as a coupon. No printing, no stopping for a copy, easy peasy!

    If you download the Joann’s app on your iphone, you don’t even need to print out the coupons. Just “clip” them directly from the app and show them to the cashier!

    If you have a smartphone, most of those stores have apps where you can just open the app at the store and the cashier will scan the code off your phone too. No need to stop, print, use paper or ink. Saves me money every time. 🙂
