  1. Shelli V

    Can we use the Michael’s 40% or 25% off coupons for pumpkins at the Great Pumpkin Event tomorrow in store?

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      The 40% off is for regular priced items so you should be able to use that as long as it is regular price in your store. If it is on sale you should be able to use the 25% off. The 25% off excludes clearance. Hope that helps!

  2. Jessica

    Will they price match with the online price? Or can we order online to pick up in store?

  3. Erica

    Next Saturday at Barnes and Nobel is Star Wars read day. Free lego starwars build :). Ours says ages 8 and up. But I signed all three kids up.
