Hey Crafters! Check your local Michaels!

Swing by your nearest Michaels Craft store to see if they are offering up $4 Grab Bags and/or Boxes! Reader Nicole grabbed a few at her store that were filled with Handmade Charlotte Kids Craft Kits – a value WAY over the $4 she paid.

Please note that grab bags and boxes are often regional and not always available at all stores. You may want to call ahead before making a special trip to make sure your Michaels has them.

Let us know if you’re able to find these too!

(Thanks, Nicole!)

Off topic – How do you get cashback from ebates on deals at groupon? I have an email only offer from Groupon but if I go through ebates, it won’t show up in my cart. TIA.

I suspect they vary wildly by store. My local Michael’s has had grab bags a few times and it’s usually junk like leftover holiday decorations that didn’t sell on clearance.

I did this twice at two separate ones. They were horrible, 2 from one location= made fake ferns and the other fake grey moss.
Second store, a box full of graveyard vase stakes🙄. My daughter and I love to craft, and do a lot of different ones, but I have no idea what to do with three boxes of junk🤔

Our grab bags are never sealed–thankfully!–because our store also likes to fill bags with tons of dups and/or damaged merchandise. Next time I buy one, I will look very carefully because I got really nice faux succulent and grass mats, only to find some of the succulents were missing.

Graveyard vase stakes? Really, Michaels?

Lol. Feel so sorry for you. Yes. I’ve seen some at my Michaels but usually holiday junk as well in plastic bags.

There were a ton of $4 grab bags at the Skokie, IL store (Village Crossing) this morning. I snagged three craft boxes in my bag!

Were the contents any good?
I was there this weekend and seen them but was hesitant in case I was buying a box of junk

I really think it depends on the sales associates who are filling these boxes/bags, some care about making it a fun, different grab bag experience n some can’t wait to get outta there n just throw in whatever n call it a day.

So excited to finally find these at my local Michaels. I felt like I was doing something illegal as I loaded 3 grab boxes into my tiny cart, but I couldn’t wait to get home and go through each box. The loot I got will help me to donate some craft kits, add finishing touches to gifts for others and keep my kids and their friends busy for awhile. Can’t wait until the next grab bags are available.
