February Scrapbooking Tip
Thrifty Sites!
 Most of us are constantly looking for the best deal in scrapbooking supplies. Heaven knows we're all in love with an expensive hobby! If you have the patience to wait a few extra days to get your new stash, we have a few suggestions where you can save hundreds with for our favorite scrapbooking steals websites! Peachycheap.com - Peachy Cheap is like waking up on your birthday every day! They specialize in massive deals, up to 99% off, but just one a day! Once the deal is sold out, it's sold out! CraftySteals.com - Like Peachy Cheap, Crafty Steals has one big sale a day and allows you to purchase previous days' sales if there are any left. One of my favorite parts of Crafty Steals is the layout examples provide every day, a great source of inspiration!
Scrapbuck.com - With a huge chunk of their product priced at $1 or less, Scrapbuck.com has the brand-name product you rely on for amazing prices. I find the prices on acrylic stamps to be rock bottom!
Frugalities.com - Frugalities.com everyday prices are up to 20% off and their sale prices can be up to 90% off! They have a very wide variety of product.
We hope you have a lot of success at these sites! For Crops Plus Newsletter readers, Peachy Cheap is offering a goody bag with product worth over $100! To enter to win this generous prize, simply click HERE. The winner will be selected at random and notified on Valentine's Day! |
