I am not the largest fan of Michaels craft store. I think it's because of the one near my house. It's overcrowded with merchandise, the aisles are way to close together, it tends to be a bit messy, the parking is bad but my biggest peeve...the lighting is horrific! It makes me crazy nuts that I have to go to the end of the paper aisle to be able to see what color card stock I have in my hand. Believe me when I tell you I pulled out card stock and couldn't tell the color of the paper. OK, wait what shade purple is this? ARRGGGG! I guess I can get some extra activity points on my Weight Watchers diet for walking extra so I guess that's helpful. However, I don't think they had that in mind. End of my rant...sort of.
Just let me say Mr. Michael is a genius! Even with a messy store, crowded aisles and no light I still end up going from time to time. I get the ad in the mail each week so I know I am guaranteed to get at 40% off coupon. But now they have me tangled in a web of coupons. Now you get a 50% off coupon with your receipt. I don't know what it is but somehow in a woman's brain a 40-50% coupon flips a switch that can't get turned off until we use it. I found myself wandering the dark, crowded aisles last night looking for something to use that darned coupon on. Maybe I can get those scissors...no, I already have 20 pair. What about that cute gingerbread man punch? Paint maybe?? I have to free myself from the dangerous coupon web Michaels has weaved me into. So many coupons and somehow I ended up standing at the register with sale items that you can't use a coupon on. Michaels 1, Jen 0
