If you like WRMK tools and you want them for 60% or more off of retail, now's the time to check your TM's again. I also found a few smaller tools (some repeats, some new things) including the layering templates (rulers with a lip on them to allow you to cut precise borders around photos with a craft knife...I've wanted them since seeing nicolejones911 use old Stampin' Up ones several months back) and a couple random packs of ephemera from Pink Paislee for $1.49 (sweet freedom) and $1.99 (Halloween themed, don't know the collection). I had links set up for several products from WRMK's website, but my post was getting quite long. This is my attempt at brevity. 
Feel free to share your finds! If there is a specific item you're looking for that I may have seen, tag me and I can tell you if I've seen it, but be aware that I likely will not have SKU numbers for anything because I didn't buy much. At this rate, we'll see the happy jig and accessories plus the tag punch boards by Christmas (both on my list).

Haha, I thought you meant Tuesday Morning as in right now today. Not the store! I can't know this stuff. I'm not spending any money this month. And I'm 17 days in I'm doing good.

Nope, I immediately thought of the store. Shows you where my thoughts are.

I went to the closer one tonight expecting to find most of the same things I found at the other stores (they get their truck later in the week but they get their stuff a week ahead of the one closer to me) and found some new things from the same collections that the other store got. They had more embellishments from a couple of fall lines from Carta Bella and Echo Park as well as some travel line stuff but this store had enamel dots and the others did not. I refrained from buying them out of all of it because they were $1.49 instead of the usual $1.99 (I don't buy them at $1.99 and will buy all at $.99 making $1.49 my pick and choose price, lol) and some puffy stickers from an American Crafts halloween collection. They were $1.99, so the puffy stickers are consistently getting more expensive (AC puffies used to always be $.99 but they have been $1.99 lately...any restocks of ones TM has had in the past seem to stay lower, but anything showing up for the first time is higher), but they were cute enough for me to buy. They were from a collection called Bootiful Night (the other stores had the 6x12 stickers from this line, but I left those)...it is a collection with the holographic foil accents, but none are on the puffies.
They also had new 6x6 paper pads from Echo Park as well as various ephemera from some travel and cooking lines. I've been trying to find the 6x6 of Sweet Freedom by Pink Paislee because I got the ephemera there a couple of weeks ago.
If anyone sees the Sweet Freedom puffy stickers, I'd love to know the SKU and the price as well as the sku for the 6x6 if you find it at your stores!!

I am so glad there aren't any TM stores tooo awfully close to me. I never want seem to want to make the drive, and that's probably for the best! I thought this was a confess your scrappy wants and guilty pleasures too!  |

Two of my stores in town have a great selection and the one 4 minutes from my house has poo. I bought several ephemera packs for different lines this week.

The only store near me never has enamel dots or ephemera packs. The stickers are few and far between. I bought a few paper sets last week...all Echo Park. I hadn’t scrapped for years so I never bought these lines when they were new. They also rarely have any tools at this store.

My mom and I stopped at her TM yesterday and I was shocked! Her store is way better (and bigger) than the three stores near me. We spent a lot of time looking through everything! I found four packs of Thickers, echo park enamel dots, the crate paper spellbound 6x12 stickers and Thickers, DIY newspaper print tags, and a bunch of other stuff I'm forgetting. My mom and I had a lot of fun shopping. |

I went back for the Bella Blvd Wonky Alphabet stickers hoping to find more black/blueberry/white, but they only had green, pinky purple, and turquoise left. Still, for $1.99 those alphas are a steal, especially since my LSS still sells them for $8. I also may have picked up (for hoarding purposes) the packages of Heidi Swapp color mist trios that had Gold Lame in them since it's been discontinued.  |

Went last Wednesday, only bought a Pink Paisley stamp set, the round sentiment series, for $1.99 and some Typhoo tea.

This thread enabled me to go out of my way to visit a new TM on the other side of town. It was a bust. I almost bought some gold heart paperclips for 1.99 but that was about the only thing that caught my eye. I hate how their stock is so varied from store to store (although I guess that’s the thrill of it.)

I almost bought some gold heart paperclips for 1.99 but that was about the only thing that caught my eye. I hate how their stock is so varied from store to store (although I guess that’s the thrill of it.) We had 5 TM's here (1 closed a year or so ago, so down to 4 now) and 3 get a lot of craft stuff. 2 get the most and 1 isn't far behind...the 4th gets almost nothing. That one used to be the one that got the most, but the more a store sells, the more stock they get. So if the stores around you don't get a lot of craft stock, they historically don't sell a lot. What I don't understand is how they gauge interest if they don't send anything good to those stores because it could easily be that they aren't selling craft stuff because they aren't stocking enough of it...can't sell what you don't have.
There are cities near people I follow on youtube (one girl I chat with on occasion and share good finds with so she can also look) who haul things that flew off the shelves here months after I found (or missed out) on them. Then there are cities where people buy up all of the good stock and sell it for a profit. There is one person in The Scrap Yard (scrapbook supply selling group) on Facebook whose album conveniently updates with new stuff that is identical to what I'm finding at TM in the same time frame so I'm sure she's one of those people. Speaking for myself, I am one of the first people to check out new finds and oftentimes it is still in carts in the back waiting to go out and they let me rummage through it all. I don't resell what I find, but I do like to have first dibs because many times a store will get a good variety of items, but only 1 or 2 of the things I am looking for because it is overstock and gets spread out among as many stores as possible.
Those are the most likely reasons why your stores don't have much.

The manager at the TM I used to go to before it closed said that there were a couple of resellers who stalked the truck and bought everything good as soon as they pulled out the carts. She agreed that regular crafters never got a chance at the good stuff they got in. Made me kind of sad, but what could they do? |

I really just want first dibs. It's the thrill of the hunt. There are things that I hope to find just so I can say I found them but don't actually end up buying them...or rather, I tell myself I want it until it's in my hands and then I change my mind. Yes...my life lacks excitement. 
I will buy them out of some things or get one of everything they get of a type of product, but mostly my buying habits are based on the idea that I want to use things up but also don't want to run out of anything either. It's an ongoing internal conflict, lol!!!

I was traveling recently and stopped in by a Tuesday Morning. The store manager checked me out and I mentioned that I love getting scrapbook supplies from there and he said, "Well most scrapbookers are hoarders. I've never met a scrapbooker who wasn't a hoarder." I'm not a hoarder - if anything, I'm a minimalist. I was so flabergasted that I didn't even have a reply...guess I won't be visiting that store en route to where I'm going. He said most are (even on this board lots of us admit to buying more than we use and hoarder comes up as a term of endearment for some people when it comes to sparkly things). I am on FB groups who absolutely revel in being a hoarder. If you check out YouTube Tuesday Morning Hauls you will see huge hauls from many people. I am also sure he hears lots of his customers talk about everything they buy. I would try to take it not as a diss. Just a smile and a comment about being a minimalist might have given him a different perspective about us. Almost all of the clerks at my Tuesday Mornings are chatty and this guy probably had no idea he offended you. |

scrapaddict702 I did find the 6x6 Sweet Freedom pad at TM a month or so ago. I bought that thing so fast! My son is in the Navy and I have a work in progress of his adventures. Hang on and let me go grab it. Hopefully, I haven't taken the price tag off yet. BRB with the SKU#

I went there for something else a week or so ago and ended up getting the We R tab punch tool thing, a couple of the Echo Park ephemera packs and some Carpe Diem post it note flags. There wasn’t much there that I absolutely HAD to have. They did have a bunch of packs of the foldover elastic in a bunch of colors that I use to make hair ties for DD on super cheap clearance though!
If anyone knows the SKU for the layering template rulers I would be forever grateful! I’ve been wanting a set but didn’t want to have to drop $15-20 plus shipping to order the Perfect Layers.

I was at my TM today. I think the scrap section shrank. They had some EP collection packs (old one's like For the Record and a lot of the summer one's from years ago) and the other stuff was just meh.

I bought a project life card set in Spanish today (Salsa). I speak enough Spanish to use them, so I figured, why not?
I also bought some Pink Paislee reusable Halloween labels. I plan to stick them on my vintage Belgian apothecary jars for decoration when the time comes.

I went to my local TM the other day and so much of it was on clearance. They had 4x4 albums, core kits, lots of paper pads - all 20-60% off the sticker price.

I can't wait for the squared corner kits to show up there. Joanns made them select stores...none in my state...and no online ordering. Soooo unless they are realllly on sale (50%+ off) when i am near a store that carries them, it is the only way for me to get any of them. |

Stopped in today at our largest TM. I got two packs of WRMK PL pp for $1.99 each. They also had new paper pads. In 6x6 they had the HS Favorite Things (I love that line). They also had 12x12 pads of HS Magnolia, AT Better Together and the classic Sketchbook. Lots of WRMK punch boards, but no layering tools. They had one pack of the SC gold dipped acetate leaves that I remember being a big deal at one time. I also saw 7 Gypsies divided wood drawers that I wanted but don’t need so I resisted.
In clearance they had gobs of Mink stuff and quite a few DCVW burlap 12x12 albums.
