Feeling crafty?

Consider swinging by your local Michaels craft store where you may find grab bags or boxes filled with Halloween and Thanksgiving items and more – for just $4!

Reader Abigail grabbed a few that were filled with Halloween crafts, washi tape, ribbon and Thanksgiving craft kits at her Inglewood, CA Michaels.

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.

(Thanks, Abigail!)

I bought a grab box today and it was full of floral stems and fall vase fillers, definitely worth 4 bucks.

Halloween items were still on 80% at my store in VA. They did have grab bags (which you could sort of see through) that had about 4 or 5 craft kits for kids in them. The bag I got had 3 craft kits, a small pad of colored paper, a sheet of stickers and a pack of generic twistable crayons. Worth the $4 for me to have some random crafts for the kids during the uponlineing days off of school!

Just to give everyone a heads up, the grab bags are only supposed to contain Halloween and Fall; thanksgiving items were not supposed to be included in this round of grab bags, so you probably won’t find the thanksgiving items in most grab bags.

I am so tempted, but I have been clearing stuff out of my house for Goodwill and don’t know if I should bring more stuff in! 🙂

Do MN stores not offer grab bags? I shop at Michael’s and have never seen them.

I’m in MN and have seen some. I’m in Twin Cities. Call before you go! Sometimes I’ve asked and the cashier didn’t know what “grab bag or mystery bag” was.

Can you see what is it in before buying or is that the whole point, $4 for not knowing what you’re going get

They had a lot at our store. Also, fall flower arrangements, originally 59.00… for $4.00!

My local store in Orlando had none left but I have a friend who got one that was filled with about 20 of the same exact item. So, not every store is good about mixing them up, just be aware.

My store in Howell, NJ had bags that were absolutely stuffed! They didn’t contain Halloween or Fall items. My bag was mostly filled with items from Dylan’s Candy Bar— wrapping paper, gift bags, pencil holders, large erasers, paper clips, journals, notepads, etc. This was easily the best grab bag I have ever purchased from Michaels!

My grab bag contained lots of Halloween trim and ribbons among other small items. The best thing was three packages of fall themed wire LED lights that said they retailed for $14.99 each!

We have 2 stores nearby and I appreciated that 1 store separated their Halloween and fall grab bags bcus I personally don’t want Halloween stuff, so that was good. The other Michaels just had everything mixed together :/ so I passed

Best score ever. Great kid crafts for next year. Awesome Xmas décor and even some high priced items for gifts next year. Did not see any Halloween bags, have to look on my next trip to Michaels.
