I love finding deals on crafting supplies, don't you? A few months ago, I was searching on various supplies online (specifically Project Life supplies), when I came across two amazing websites of deals.
Peachy Cheap offers one crafting supply deal per day Monday through Saturday. Typically these deals are for embellishments (die cuts, brads, enamel dots) or for ribbon or washi tape. Sometimes I have seen 6x6 paper packs. The great thing about this site is the quantity per price. I snapped up a deal a few months ago for a 6 pack of Basic Grey enamel dots for $6.99. With the $5.99 extra for shipping, I paid about $13.00 for six packs of enamel dots. This would have cost me probably $25 in a retail store. I also snapped up a huge lot of My Mind's Eye die cuts, stickers, and PL cards for $9.99. I had over 100 pieces include (probably closer to 200 pieces). To buy the equivalent in store, it would have cost me at least $50. Amazing deal!
Details:
- One deal a day while supplies last
- Shipping is through USPS, per item (no combined shipping), typically $5-6 in the US
- Shipping usually takes around 10 days
- Sometimes offer the same projects on another day, but no guarantees
Steals
Steals actually has four different sites: Scrap, She, Kid, and Baby. Each site has a new deal starting at 8am PST and 8pm PST. They usually offer multiple related projects for 25-80% retail price. Like Peachy Cheap, they are while supplies last. However they do keep the any remaining stock and sell it in their "shop" category. Occasionally they will run a warehouse sale with cheaper and/or combined shipping on anything that's left over in the shop. in the past, I have bought a few baby and kid related items, packs of WRMK Albums Made Easy cards ($3.99 when they retail for $9.99), and warehouse sale grab bags (entire 2 pound box of supplies for $20, probably retailed for at least $75). My only word of caution for this site is to watch out for shipping. Sometimes I find they offer great deals on a project, but when you factor in shipping, the price is higher than purchasing a similar product at Michael's or Joann's. (Case in point: American Crafts 6x6 paper pads for $2.99 each + $4.99 shipping. Only works out if you buy multiple pads. Buying only one pad pushed the price over the brick-and-mortar store regular prices).
Details:
- New deals daily at 8am PST and 8pm PST
- Can sell out quickly
- Shipping varies with deal, typically $4-7 in US
- Shipping usually takes around 10 days, can pay more to expedite
- Any deal leftovers are sold in the "shop" category
