Hey guys! Today I have my first Michaels haul in quite a while for you…
I haven't set foot inside a Michaels since Boxing Day, and I never even posted that haul,
so it's probably been a solid four or five months since I posted anything from Michaels here!
As of this filming, Michaels is currently having their Lowest Price of the Season sale,
and originally I wasn't going to go - there didn't seem to be too many amazing deals,
and the few that were good, like the $30.00 paper pads being 50% off, is a deal that comes
around semi-frequently, so I wasn't that concerned.
But I've been decluttering and organizing around here a lot lately, and looking at storage
and things, and as part of the sale, craft storage was on for 60% off.
So I decided to go in and check it out, and I was looking for one specific item.
And that item was this!
[laughs] This is their new washi storage bin; I thought I'd just show you the label so
you can see what it looks like before I zoom out and show you in more detail.
I saw someone from the States show this off a month or so ago, and I really liked it.
So you can see that it's huge, it's 14.1 inches x 14.1 inches x 4.1 inches.
It just snaps open and shut…
[music]
And it's got four trays in here that are removable and stackable, and they're pretty
deep, too, which is nice.
And there's also some extra room in the front here, as well.
My washi is currently spread between four different small containers, and it's a pain
in the butt to use it that way.
So I think this sucker should hold all of my washi with no problem, but if it doesn't
I may seriously have to go back and get another one before the sale ends.
This case is regularly $54.99, but with 60% off it was on sale for $21.99.
And $55.00 for this thing is insane… but $22.00 is incredibly reasonable!
So yeah… I think I'm gonna pop all my washi into this thing tonight, and if it doesn't all
fit, run back and grab a second one for that price, because that's a good price for a
lot of storage!
[music]
Speaking of washi, I found a deal there that I did not see advertised in the app, which
was buy two, get one free on tubes of washi.
I believe these are the tubes that used to be $15.00 each?
But their regular price has dropped down to $12.00, which is nice.
So while I originally had no intention of buying any washi while I was there, I did
the math on this deal, and the three tubes of washi for $24.00 works out to $8.00 a tube,
and each tube has eight rolls in it, so that's $1.00 a tube [roll].
And very rarely can you ever find washi for that cheap at Michaels, so I went with it.
I got this pretty blue & pink one here, which I'm pretty sure I didn't have yet, but
I'm also going to double-check before I open it!
[laughs] I think it's just one that I've been eyeing off and on for a while now, so
it looks familiar…
I'm pretty sure I don't have this one yet!
… and then I also got these two food-themed tubes, simply because I don't have a lot
of washi like this, and I couldn't choose between the two - there were designs in both
that I really liked, so I got both.
The Backyard Table collection was on for 40% off, and initially I didn't see anything
that I liked enough to get… but then I saw these die cuts.
They are so pretty and cute; there's like butterflies and other insects there; there's
a cat with a flower on its head, and I'm not sure what else is in there, but other
floral-type things; and then there's some food & drink-type die cuts here.
I just thought it was really, really sweet… 35 pieces.
So these were regular $7.49, on sale for $4.49.
Then I was looking at the paper pads, and they were advertising the paper pads as "Almost
all paper pads on sale for 50% off".
Now, silly me thought the "almost" part applied to the Hot Buy pads, because that's
usually what it refers to.
And again I was looking for something that I had seen someone in the States haul, which
was the 8.5x5.5, or something like that, sized paper pads, which are essentially A5-sized,
and the sheets can pretty much fit right into your planner, bullet journal, etc.
I really wanted to check those out, but they literally only had one, and it didn't interest
me enough to get it.
But then I saw these 3.5x6 paper pads, and I checked them out… and they're pretty
much just pads of cut aparts, and I was SO stoked, that is so awesome!
They're regular $10.49, and they had four designs that I really liked, and silly me
thought they were half off, so I grabbed all four…
… and thankfully, I was smart enough to scan them at a price checker, and no… they
were not part of the sale.
I was SO disappointed.
So disappointed!
So I begrudgingly put three of them back, and used my 50% off coupon to pick up this
"Punderful" pad for $5.24.
I'll do a flip through here:

[music]
So yeah, I really love this, and I think that's going to be my new goal/wish list thing now
- when there's a coupon for 50% off or more out, I'll go back and grab another one of these,
to get all the designs that I liked, because these are great!
So that was everything for the sale proper, and then of course I had to go check out the
clearance items… there was a whole end cap full of Halloween stickers, but I behaved
myself and I only picked up two.
I got these Momenta stickers that were regular $5.99, on clearance for $1.99, and these Jolee's
Boutique stickers that were regular 7.49, on clearance for $2.49.
Poking through the more general clearance area, I found these die cut shapes that were
regular $2.99, on clearance for $0.79, and in hindsight I'm regretting not picking
up the second set that was there, but oh well...
I got these two sets of "novelty bling"; they were regular $7.49 each, on clearance
for $1.99 each.
You may recognize these two sets of… well, I call them Frenchie planner stickers, 'cause
there's a Frech bulldog on each other them.
If you remember, I hauled them both at full price back in the late spring or early summer,
and then felt guilty for paying full price and returned them…
well, they're on clearance now, so no guilt here! [laughs] They were regular $7.49 each,
I believe, and they were on clearance for $2.19 each.
And then there was this one item that I absolutely could not pass up… are you ready for this?
Boom. [laughs]
This is a Project Life core kit, the "Cottage Living Edition".
This is an item that regularly sells for $41.99, and it was on clearance for $16.99.
One-six. [laughs]
$42.00 down to $17.00.
And it's sealed, it doesn't appear to be damaged or anything… and it was just
sitting there.
I was shocked.
And I think the cashier was too, because I saw her pause for half a second when she rang
it up! [laughs]
So check this out - it comes with 576 cards.
This is like if you're starting a Project Life album; it's for, basically, being able
to do a whole album if you wanted to.
It comes with 468 double-sided 3x4 journalling cards; 36 double-sided 4x6 journalling cards;
56 4x6 title cards; 8 first page cards, four of which are 4x6 and four of which are 3x4;
and 8 last page cards, four of which are 4x6 and four of which are 3x4.
Yeah [laughs]. I… yeah.
All that for $16.99!
I cannot believe it, at all!
So I may have spent a bit more than I'd expected to spend, and I definitely spent
more than I should have spent, but I'd say the deals were worth it!
I'd say that this was a good first Michaels trip in three months, wouldn't you? [laughs]
