This week's Michael's Flyer lists Cricut Cartridges that are "regular $119.00" for $24.99. "40 select styles"
I get to the store and ALL the ones that are regularely listed at $119.00 are on sale for $59.00.
They only have 4 titles listed at $24.99 and they are all regular $89.00 but marked down to 39.99 clearance.
All the standard disclaimers apply... but still, this stinks of dishonesty.
This store always makes me so mad. What should I do next?This thread is currently associated with: Michaels Arts and Crafts

The bigger scam are those 50% off regular price coupons. When I went into the store, practically everything was already marked down or on sale. The small print on the coupon said only for regular priced items. When I asked a staff member what's in the store that's regular price, she told me practically nothing. When I asked about the coupon she said "That's just how we get you into the store." Definitely didn't make me a happy customer.

Actually sometimes they release coupons with barely any restrictions, thats when their good to use lol!
As for the deal you tried to find, maybe the style that were on for that cheap were simply sold out?

did you bother to point that out to an employee?
Because they are supposed to be 24.99 there was a pricing error and the cartridges are scanning at 39.99 (regular 119.00). All of the pricing comes from the head office and they dont always catch pricing mistakes like that.
You should have spoken to an employee and im sure they would have promptly fixed it as it is advertised in the flyer.....Last edited by c_mcarthur; Thu, Jan 13th, 2011 at 08:04 AM.

Thanks for your reply!
I did speak to a few of the employees including the cash supervisor, but all i was told was that the only ones for 24.99 were the 4 different cartridges on the aisle end. all the others were 59.99
