Best Value Craft Store: Hobby Lobby

If You Want It, Hobby Lobby's Got it

It is hard to find a store that compares with Hobby Lobby when it comes to crafts and home decor items for the value conscious shopper. Hobby Lobby is cram-packed full of goodies to keep a beginner or a professional craft enthusiast busy for a long time! At first glance upon entering a Hobby Lobby store, the craft and decor selections almost seem overwhelming. The regular prices at Hobby Lobby are about average or a little below average, but the real value comes with their weekly sales. The items vary from week to week, but when their craft items are put on sale the savings are generous. Most often when a particular craft department has the items on sale, the savings are 40-50% off regular price. The great value is not the only reason I return to Hobby Lobby, but the quality of their craft and home decor products is excellent.

Hobby Lobby has a beautiful silk floral and greenery craft department. They have such a huge array of flowers by the single stem or by the bunch which are put on sale for 50% off on a regular basis. Unless you are extremely impatient, there is no reason to ever pay full price at Hobby Lobby. They also have all of the necessary craft components needed to put together a professional silk arrangement including a fabulous collection of containers and wreath forms. The faux greenery available at Hobby Lobby is among the best I’ve encountered anywhere.

The selection of value priced seasonal items at Hobby Lobby is immense. They sell such an enormous quantity of Christmas items, which they begin putting out in the summer. When they do this, the summer seasonal items are deeply discounted. This is the time to find unbelievable value on beautiful summer home decor for interior and exterior, such as planters, garden art, shepherd hooks and iron and metal decor, just to name a few. They also carry a huge selection of Autumn, Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations and crafts all at the same time as the Christmas trees, ornaments and crafts.
