When someone mentioned that Michael's was having their Cricut cartridges on sale today for $39.99, I jumped at the chance to go. Thank-you (sort of) for the person that posted that) I never shop at our Michael's - it sucks - there no lighting in the aisle so you really can't see the colors of card stock that good. I just don't go there. But, I made an exception bc of the sale thing. They hardly had anything, Disney and I'm too poor to take the kids to Disney so I don't need any of those. I wanted some font ones - they had none of the new ones, basically they had the same ones that I could get her locally at my Walmart. I was just so ill. It's like a 50 minute drive when I could have drove 15 to the walmart. Not too mention, when I got home - well first all the way home I was already mad bc they didn't have any of the cartridges I wanted, My dd gave me a fit at the check out line my bill was sort of outrageous for what I purchased. Well the reason being for that is the stupid cashier charged me twice for a paper case I purchase. Now I knew it was on sale 14.000 from 19.00 - 40% off - thought that was a good deal. But bc my dd was having a fit, I just took my receipt and hi tailed it out of there. Got home did what I had to do there (take a nap). LOL And I just looked at my receipt and noticed the over charge. Now I have to go back tomorrow another 50 minute drive just to get my money back. I'm so irritated.

But thanks for letting me vent. I feel better! I love ACOT gals!

Sorry you had such a hard time there. I can understand your frustration. Last week at AC Moore, I had wanted to use my 50% off coupon but was so tired I just couldn't think what I wanted... so I ended up buying like a $4-5 item and then 2 - 97cent items. They took the 50% off the 97 cents!!! I didn't notice until I got home... Of course, this wasn't worth worrying over but still... you would think the cashiers would pay more attention.

I am so sorry, maybe you could call them? doubtful but maybe

At times, I have the very same feeling at our Michaels. One time, I had to leave because my grandmother was not feeling well, so I hurriedly went to the line. There was one line open and that line had a woman in it that wanted a run down of all the classes they were offering. My grandmother was about to pass out! Help here! I just threw the stuff on the counter and left! They got the point. No chairs or anything for an older person to rest.

I did manage to get a few cartridges...but I did not have hardly and (2) so any would have been great for me. But the selection was crummy here too! So I can see why you would have gotten upset. You sound like you were having a day like I seem to always have. Sorry!!!

Hope things get better.

oh sorry. shannon had mentioned the sale but said hers was offering rainchecks for any that weren't in stock...can you shop at michaels.com? sorry you had such a hard time...i find shopping on ebay late at night offers alot of nice deals especially font cartridges. now that the new ones came out you can get them pretty cheap.

i got 1 for $26 and 2 for $30 recently which i though was cheaper. there is also another site that i know of that has them cheaper with the more you buy...i got mine new ones for $27 each if you want it pm me...then you aren't wasting gas money either.

How horrible for you! My Michaels isn't so bad but they never get new ones. I definitely suggest the program Sure Cuts A Lot... I will never have to buy another Cricut font cartridge again.

Our closest Michael's is 2 1/2 hours away and we just so happened to have a shopping trip planned so we went to get some carts and guess what???? The aisles were empty!! I hate Michael's too. The are overpriced and messy and dirty!!

[scrapaholic]

That definitely s_ _ _ _.

[Pookeybear]

I have to agree the paper sucks there when they have sales. No variety

[Joy]

Oh no fun...

[ctaylor0312]

Oh I called them alright. Hey - $14.99 plus tax - $16 or so. Is it worth the gas? That's the whole thing, if I could find someone that's going into Fayetteville tomorrow - that would be a plus. I'll have to call my brother's step mother and see if she's going.

[Kimandasmo]

sorry you had such a bad day-- I dont bother to even go to my Michaels anymore-- They never have anything and never charge it right-- just not going there

[ElsieB]

I'm so sorry, Colleen. Michaels really does suck. I walked out of Michaels this week and left all of the things I was going to purchase sitting at the checkstand after a big fuss over coupons. I often wonder how they stay in business when they seem to do nothing more than piss their customers off!

[Miss Daisy-NC]

I just do all my shopping online now.....gas prices are so high...it's cheaper paying the shipping.....some places the shipping is free if you order $50.00 or more....Michael's, and A.C. Moore never have what I need....sorry you had a rough day

[lindaone]

on-line for me

[MOM2SNOX]

Dude... that sucks! I hardly ever go into Michael's anymore. If I do, it's because they've got stuff outside for 70-80% off. I browse through the leftovers and if I get lucky, might find something I want and then I'll go in but that's it!

[deerewife]

sorry to hear that, but my Michaels wasn't any better. I ended up price matching at Walmart to get 2 fonts that I wanted.

[shanierae]

Gosh I feel so bad for you!!! I had told you about the sale and look at what you went through gf! I am wondering if you could call Michaels corporate and give them the receipt number/code and have them take care of it (send you a refund check). Or, call the store and speak with the actual General Manager (not a department manager) they might be able to help you.

Sometimes you absolutely can get good deals on ebay but I have been bidding on Paper Dolls for 7 months and have lost over 30 auctions (if not more) Trying to get a deal. It seems that so many people got machines for Christmas that first thing in january the cartridges were going for 15-20 more each.

Right before Christmas they were selling for mid to high twenties. I am truly hoping the sales start trending that way again. I can't belive though that here they still want more than sixty dollars for the original ones. Even with sales and promotions it still is more costly than elsewhere.

I was shocked to see that our Michaels carries one of the newest December releases (Paper Doll Dress Up). I picked that up a few weeks ago. Then, this time, I rainchecked Alphalicous, Cuttin Up, and Christmas Cheer. I was pumped becuz I didn't have the money for all of them right now and this way I can spread it out a bit.

I ended up buying Going Places for the 39.99 and I was going to return it becuz I don't really want it. If you are interested in that one ...just pm me and we can work something out

Shanierae - lucky you for getting rainchecks. Both of the ones I go to had BIG signs saying no rainchecks.
