Occasionally I'll go on a few of the manufacturer's websites and they'll have a clearance area. Sizzix.com has that. At least they used to. I bought die's on there for as low as 82 cents.

Our local Dollar Store has $1.00 scrapbook supplies, rubber stamps, etc.. I think you can buy in bulk online DollarTree.com

I have found great deals with scrapbooksteals.com

They sell one item a day until it sells out.

I just joined Michaels.com and got a 40% discount coupon. I have to travel to go to a Michaels but it's the only place close at all. I also have been ordering my cardstock from "Scrapbook.com". I wanted specific colors and that was the cheapest i could find after a quick search. Michaels has sales at different times and I try to shop then.

I don't know that I find any FANTASTIC deals, but I have an Archiver's near me and they have the 'hot spot' which everything is $1.99 --- you have to watch it though because sometimes things that are in there aren't really THAT great of a deal. But when there's a good deal its usually a REALLY good deal.

As far as other deals --- there are daily deal websites on the internet that change their deal every day (some change it a few times a day - as they run out).
bazzzinga.com
cropchocolate.com
sweetscrapdeal.com
craftysteals.com
scrapbooksteals.com
peachycheap.com
flowerstoflourishes.com
kindredcreationsideas.blogspot.com

A few of them are under construction right now because they are improving their website. I think I have bought some off every single one of them and they all have decent deals and great customer service.

Personally, I have been using the 40-50% off coupons from Michaels and JoAnns. It means a lot of trips to the craft store but it sure saves a lot of money on supplies. Cut those coupons! Even if you don't use them, because if you make a habit of it, you will always get a big discount.

Wow, thanks for the great websites s.b.mama+2!

I use my Michael's coupons quite a lot. They sure had a lot of 50% off coupons before Christmas!

I save my JoAnne's coupons, just in case I get to that part of town. It's a new Super JoAnne's, which is so much better than the others that used to be around here.

Then they built two huge stores. But now they've moved out of one of them into a much smaller store. I hope they stay open.

They have a lot of stuff that Hobby Lobby, Michael's and Jo-Ann's don't have.

But Ebay can outdo all of them combined.

Unfortunately, if you run out of something when you're in the middle of making a card or a page (a.k.a. a scrapbooking emergency) you can't just drive over to Ebay and pick it up.

Ahhh ~ you are by me! We have a PIT in Jenison and on Plainfield in GR.
I tend to shop Michaels and Hobby Lobby if I have a 40% off coupon, although Hob Lob usually has some stellar 40-50% off sales that I like (adhesive, brads, paper)....I also like to look around online for sales...a lot of time the shipping will cancel out the "sale" though, so that can be a bummer.

ETA: I like to shop at this site: http://www.scrappingstamping.com/ a lot of times her prices will be better than others, plus she is in MI, so I like to give her business
