Michael's also gives the Teacher discount to homeschoolers.

Hey, Michael's employee here! Just wanted to point out a few things: 1. Senior, military, and educator discounts only can be applied if you have a rewards account. It's through your account that you go online and enter your information. When you give your number in store, the discount should apply automatically. Also, these discounts are registered as a "% off total purchase including sale items" coupon, so the same exclusions apply; and if you're not getting sale items, just using the 20% off coupon is a better deal. 2. Coupons are not stacked. Vouchers aren't counted as coupons; they are rewards that you have earned, so they can be used in conjunction with other coupons. If you have a "20% off entire regular price purchase" coupon and a "40% off one regular price item" coupon and you're buying 3 regular priced items, you can use both coupons, but the 40% will come off the most expensive item and the 20% will come off the other two. It won't combine to make the one item 40%+20% or 60% off. 3. The price match guarantee is great, but there is a lot of fine print. One thing that is particularly tricky is that the other store has to be in stock of the item. 4. As far as I know, the clearance stickers indicate the time of tagging. So the actual meaning of the precise tag changes year to year. Every so often all of one color will go on further discount or pulled for grab bags, but it depends on when it was tagged. In my district, pink is the color of 2021. If it's still around next year, it might be further reduced, hence the double stickers. Any questions, feel free to ask!

As a Michaels employee - we do not change out the label colors (at my store). I’ve been an employee for almost a year and we’ve only ever used the pink ones. If it goes to a deeper discount, we just stick another pink one on top. Also, if you’re a Michaels rewards member, keep an eye on your email. Michaels still offers 40% coupons. They email them out randomly.

At my store ( In Canada ) the color of a ticketed clearance items is mostly to identify when products went clearance. They have also had clearance sales for specific colors, some will have more of a discount then others , at least in the past this is what has happened, nothing for this year so far.

1.) Price matching with Amazon is kind of weird when it comes to Michaels. It has to be sold directly by Amazon. It can’t be through a 3rd party. 2.) At least at my store, grab bags are $5. They went up around the same time the 40% and 50% coupons went away. 3.) The clearance stickers don’t refer to specific items although they can help you determine how long something has been on clearance. Every so often the color is changed to be able to tell how long something has been on clearance for. 4.) Yes, most floral items are on sale at most times. However some floral items don’t go on sale very often and it’s easy to overlook. If you find a floral item with a white tag, it’s usually something that is sold year round and won’t have special discounts associated with. Seasonal floral with have some sort of color strip across it so you can reference sale signs and what applies. For example, the flower pot that was scanned in the video had a green strip across it, indicating that it was a spring item. That’s why it scanned at a discounted rate. 5.) The bins at the front of the store aren’t any more discounted. Some of the items are the exact same as you would find in other areas of the store. It’s basically just an area to display lower priced products in one area. Bonus 1.) Every so often Michael’s does a lowest price of the season week where you will find the best sales on many items. Bonus 2.) Sales are updated every Sunday. Hope that helps anyone who wants to save some money.

Grab bags are usually done at the end of the seasons usually.. they don't advertise or announce when they will be out they are just first come first serve if you happen to be there when they are put out.. Employees don't usually know till the day they are going out that they have them so don't call asking about them especially if the Season is still going on

The clearance tag colors only mean when this product was clearanced out. Michaels changes the sticker color quarterly (usually). One quarter it might be blue, the next one will be pink. They dont have another meaning beyond that. #iworkatmichaels

Hey, Michael's fam~ I can also confirm. Every quarter we get a memo on what color we switch to and what color goes sweep/put in a grab bag.

I love this video a couple things that are close to being right. You can use multiple coupons you just can't stack the same coupon. For example "Entire Regular price purchase" coupon and an "Entire purchase including sales items coupon." Which is what the military/teacher/senior discount, can be used in the same transactions. If the "Any one Regular price" coupon comes back you can use that with the other two. The voucher is more like a a gift card than a coupon. The clearance labels are how the company knows which clearance is going to either be "grab bags" or disposed of. They cycle the colors for different thing depending on when they went clearance. For the price match guarantee it has to be Amazon and not a 3rd party seller through amazon, for the brick stores like walmart or target it has to be its regular price; in stock, and store has to be withing 25 miles radius. There are exclusive deals for the "Buy online pick up in store" option that is only though buying online. I am a frameshop Manager at Michaels and have worked there for 12 years now and I always enjoy these kinds of videos keep up the good work friend!

@thedealguy I am a manager of a Michaels in Texas. 1. The pink tag on clearance items is a new thing and that is the color we will use from now on. 2. In a lot of stores the grab boxes are $5. 3. The reward voucher is actually like free money. It has nothing to do with the coupon program. When a shopper gets to the amount to earn a voucher, they use it at the end of a transaction just like a gift card, cash or credit card. It comes off of the total after all coupons and sales have been discounted. The vouchers keep growing as you shop. I had a neighbor who had a voucher total worth $110!!! Love your channel!

You forgot the teacher discount that can also be stacked with coupons and rewards vouchers. My mom does it all the time.

Wow! You have very knowledgeable people responding to your site! I’ve read through a lot of them so thanks going out them as well as you Matt! Another great video❣️

i used like 5 $5 coupons at once at the store and like 6 online. For the online purchase, they just let me. The cashier was like, 'you wanna use them all?" and i'm like, "can I?" and she was like, "yeah sure." so I got like $25 off and 20% on top!

The Michael's app is also a valuable price checker you can scan the barcode with your phone. I work at Michaels and most of the pink tags i see while I am stocking ar usually on items that we are phasing out. not seasonal items but things we carried on a daily basis that are going away.

As a semi-professional painter, I normally don't purchase stretched canvas from Michael's (not as good quality as other brands, other stores like Blick or Jerry's Artarama), but some of the prices on drawing supplies are really amazing. I bought four mixed-media paper selections and saved a bunch of money. I need to go and buy some drawing charcoal and acrylic paint soon.

I don't shop at Michael's as much as I use to since they took away the 50% off coupons off their app and they also stop accepting Joanns coupons. They lost a good customer. I still go but I don't buy much from them anymore like I use to.

Anyone planning a wedding would LOVE this video!

Previous employee here: At our store the clearance tag colors didn’t mean anything. We just would grab the nearest gun that had tape in it. Sometimes I would be asked what my favorite color was and they used that tag when reloading the gun. 😂 We had a crackdown on our coupons/discounts/price matches right before I left. The price match has to be the website, not a screenshot. Discounts have to have an id/paystub and you have to be a member for it to be applied. Also as of when I left you can’t stack the off your purchase discount. If you use the teacher at 15% and a 20% coupon only the 20% will apply to the order. Also a lot of the time our seasonal stuff will sell out when we hit the higher percentages so if you really want something, it might be best to get it when the 40/50% discounts start.

You’re a shining star 💫💫💫❣️ Thanks for all you do for these videos. I now understand the vouchers.🤗💕🦋

It is so true that Michaels sells things for each season way ahead of time. I was so surprised to see Fall items discounted 75% off in the beginning of November... a time I would consider the height of the Fall season! I also definitely combed through the clearance florals at every Michaels I could while planning my wedding- never pay full price!

Sure do!

as a michael's employee I appreciate tip 8. so many people come up to my register and get upset when an item is not listed as the price they were expecting, and there is little to nothing I can do about changing the price. also sometimes the price checkers are not always working but you can go up to almost any employee with an RF scanner and they can inform you of the sales price. aswell as the register has a price lookup so you can check the price before making your decision on purchasing it. please just don't yell at an employee if the item is not the price you wanted it's very rare that it's an actual pricing issue.

Michaels employee here! Our senior discount is 10%, teachers discount is 15%, and military is also 10%. All of these discounts can be aquired by signing up for our rewards program. Automatically gets applied on all purchases (excluding clearance items/great buy items). I have had vouchers pay for my whole total sometimes, which is pretty nice.

12:47 Yup same with Hobby Lobby, they also roll out their Christmas stuff early as July but normally slash prices up to 40% off halfway through August. Definitely worth the wait on that too!

You can only use the 20% coupon on a regular priced item however there are items which are excluded like Cricut items. You can use the senior/military/teacher discount on Sale items but not clearance items. There are no reductions on clearance items.

Customer Experience Manager for a Michael's store here. Few things... 1. The clearance tag colors really don't mean much. We rotate the colors every few months so it is easier to find penny items and figure out what items go into grab bags. It also let's us know what items have been there longer. 2. Rewards members will always earn vouchers. It isn't just random times. Most of the time it requires you make a purchase of $25 BEFORE TAX to earn a $5 voucher. 3. Discounts.... You can stack a regular price coupon with a teacher/military/senior discount along with a voucher. The regular price will hit all regular price items, the teacher/military/senior discount will go on sale items. Please remember to give the cashier your coupons BEFORE your voucher! Otherwise we need to void the transaction and start all over again. Also keep in mind, coupons do not work on vinyl cutting machines, ALL Cricut items, Simply Tidy (craft storage organization, rolling carts, etc) and other various things. Read the exclusions. 4. We don't take manufacturers coupons. The coupon MUST be scannable. We will sometimes make exceptions when it comes to the "Sign up for 25% off" coupon, but we can't take coupons unless we distribute them. 5. Price matching... It needs to be an identical item (color, size, brand). To price match on Amazon, it needs to be directly from Amazon as a seller. Not another vendor going through Amazon. We can't accept screen shots either. You need to show that the price is active. 6. A tip with floral... Look at the sign and compare tags. Signs will ALWAYS say what type is on sale. The general floral will fall under the "ALL Floral" sale whereas seasonal will only be active during the "(insert season) Floral" sale. The tags will have a stripe through the center with the season on it. To avoid a headache at the register, always double check the tags.

Thx Crafting is my thing I appreciate and very much enjoy you and your enthusiasm as well

Yay! Been waiting for this video! Thank you 😊

Thank you Matt for all the More Chanel’s info. I have been a rewards member there for years but I never knew about the price matching and 10%. The only thing I can say is if you are making seasonal craft a u have to start several months before the season (especially Christmas) in order to get everything completed in time. Therefore, you don’t always have the luxury to wait until closer to the holiday. But if u are a hard core crafting addict you are always up for increasing your ‘stash’ so it’s hard to pass i up a good sale. You just save it for the next year. The only problem with the grab bags are you never know exactly when they are going to be put out and if you don’t get there early on the day they come out you are out of luck. You do usually get great buys. For instance, one of the few times I got lucky and scored a grab box I got over 20 boxes of their high end Christmas cards. I am still using those several years later and after sharing with friends and family! Thanks again Matt.

Thank you. I knew Michaels had been sold. When I finally went back in post sale of the company, I was very disappointed by the store NOT having what I wanted and NO 40% coupon. Interestingly, I found what I needed a Five Below which was almost next door and a better price than online, which was going to be my next option. Best of luck to your channel.

Over worked employee here in so cal the clearance stickers, The colors change regularly but they don't repeat so three sticker colors three diff years well use a color all year now to cut back on costs but remember there's only 6 colors so when you go thru them you start over. When the colors pile up they have an extra clearance sale on the already cleranced items but that only happens about two times a year.

I love shopping at Michaels so you info. is greatly appreciated.

I didn't just like it I 💜 it BTW shared on FB for all my back to school shopping friends, thank you for saving me money

I work at Michaels, and you can also use a coupon off of a regular price item with the coupons that are a percentage off the entire purchase. When they say “coupon stacking” it means you can’t, for example, use a 20% off your entire purchase coupon along with another coupon that is off the entire purchase.

Hello! Former Michaels employee here (quit within the past month), and here are some of my tips: 1. You don’t need the app for the 20% off coupon, it’s also online, no info needed 2. Through rewards, register for military, teacher or senior discount. Takes off additional 10-20% in addition to sales and coupons 3. At least at my store, the colors of clearance stickers didn’t have any meaning, it was just whatever color we had on hand at the time

I rarely shop at any of the stores you talk about, but I LOVE watching your show! I find you so fun! Thank you!

@@thedealguy I live overseas.... the USA doesn't have the same stores. You are sweet!

Their timing is "crafter's timing." If you're creating something you need time to do it.

Great tips that I wasn't aware of!! Thanks!!

OMG I had no idea that Michael's had a price-match guarantee!! This is amazing! Thank you for sharing all of your tips and tricks!

The price match rules are pretty strict, at least they were when I worked there. It has to be the other stores everyday price not a sale or clearance price and if it's from Amazon or Walmart.com it has to specifically say "sold by Amazon" or "sold by Walmart" not a 3rd party seller

the colored clearance tags are for which quarter the merchandise was 1st put onto shelf. Price match policy changed 7/1/21. Depending on area if you wait until product is within 2 to 3 weeks of holiday it could already be sold through.

Apparently you have never been in a Michaels two or three weeks before a major holiday...everything is gone by then. So the early bird might not get the best deals but they definitely get the better selection.

Fabulous tips. Thank you!

Whaaaat, I’m going to Michael’s this weekend and I just signed up for the rewards program. Thanks!

Not paying full price at a Michael’s is a must!! I use to work there and saw the cost of many many items. Example styrofoam cost $1.78 selling that item for $19.97. I no longer work there but never shop without coupons and always get my teachers discount.

I worked as a manager at michaels for 2 years and the pink means the item could possibly be 90% off if you find a pink tag you might want to scan it to be sure but I had to go around the whole store and remove all pink since they were 90% off and prepare them for grab bags

Great tips . Thank you!

I had no idea about the price match policy. Thank you for the video!!

Thanks JoAnn!

The color price tags signify that make downs for a certain quarter through out the year. Ex. Jan feb and March will have pink or any of the colors and it means in December or sooner they will be grab bagged

Great info in this video! Thanks!

This was very informative thank you so much 😀😃😄

I'm glad you mentioned the grab bag. They are $5 here, but I have made out VERY well on them.

You crack me up! Thanks for all this info on Michaels!
