How often do you go? And what day of the week do you seem to hit the jackpot with new stuff?
Do you notice a certain month or time of year that has the most new scrappy stuff?
Any good blogs or youtubers to follow who go often that I can follow?
sorry for all the questions!
I am just discovering good scrappy stuff at mine. I went again over the weekend, but it was all the same stuff and it didn't look like they had restocked, so I'm trying to figure out how to maximize the potential. Lol!

Ask the manager at your local store what day they usually get craft supplies. Mine gets them on Wednesday, so I usually try to stop Thursday. It's really hit or miss. My best score was the WRMK 12x12 albums for $8. I actually went to a second store the next day and found a couple more.
Saturday I found some cardstock for 1.99 to 3.99 depending on number of sheets. I think it's Bazzill, based on texture, but it wasn't labeled.

Thanks, mikklynn! $8 WRMK albums is a total steal! |

Hmm, I regularly score, but there's no method to my madness! I check mine about every 2 weeks. I do think there's a better time of year when I score more, and that's when the big box stores do their re-sets. Around the same time they always seem to get more in. For me, that time is now.

Around here, TM has three stores but it is very hit or miss and it seems that the stores are stocked to take care of a certain demographic. One store stocks the sales on the Saturday before and will let you buy those sale items ahead of time (the two other stores hold the merch until Sunday AM). The most recent official new sale date was April 12th (yesterday) so you might find new stuff today if you're lucky. One store has very good stationery, yarn, and party goods department but the scrapbooking is not so great (it doesn't have more than a few feet of sb stuff and it looks like leftovers from other stores). I don't know how TM does their marketing but it does seem to be on a store by store basis. Some good finds that have been posted here on the message boards have never been available in my area (even with using TM's product finder system and UPC codes). If you figure it out, let me know. I have the most success by random trial and error and setting my expectation level to zero.  |

I have the most success by random trial and error and setting my expectation level to zero. We have three stores too. One of them stinks. And the SB section is tiny so I probably won't go back to that one! The one closer to me is much better, thankfully. I like your plan of setting expectations to zero  |

Now that the one closest to me moved into a bigger space that's even closer to me, I'll probably try to go there more often. I would only get over that way a handful of times per year before but it was in a really out of the way location that wasn't very convenient for me. The new store is less than 15 miles away.

Our trucks come in on a Monday and I usually go on Tuesday or Wednesday. I am always looking for paper packs of 25 of the same. Right now I am on a quest to find a set of 15- 12 x 12 stickers for the Walking on Sunshine line. I got one pack for $6.99, but no other sore in the vicinity has them. I don't think they would be that popular since most people don't want 15 sticker sets.

950nancy where are you? I think my store had those. I bought a collection pack for myself of that line and vaguely remember seeing the stickers sold in a package. The collection pack had them, so I didn't buy it.

I usually stop in every Wednesday. Last year they were getting scrappy items in constantly. I got lots of different collection kits, thickers, stamps, stamp pads, embellishments, stickles, albums with sleeves, and washi. It was great for me because I was ramping up my scrapbooking after a long hiatus. My mom cave is now fully stocked. It seems like they haven't been getting as many craft items in this year. I've switched to daily deal shopping for the most part, with a little ACOT thrown in.

The collection pack had them, so I didn't buy it. I'm in Colorado. If you did find them, I would happily reimburse you and pay for shipping. |

Are there any TM haul pix posted? The Maggie Holmes stuff looked good but there was no photo on the back of the package to show what was in the pack and I'm too frugal to buy it for only one or two things I don't already own or can use. I am really loving all the EP stuff: it has a higher price point than TM usually has but it has so much in the collection that it is well worth it. I also got the Chickaniddy $5 pack of Date Night: it will be perfect for prom pix.

If you search for a "Tuesday morning scrapbook haul" and watch the more recent ones, I bet you will see someone show that Maggie Holmes pack. I bought the Date Night collection pack, too! I al ready have a layout started with it on my desk. And i got Echo Park Walking on Sunshine. So cute.
I really can't believe I had no clue Tuesday Morning sold this stuff! |

Not sure how to post a photo, are there directions on here somewhere? Reply by pushing the reply button at the top of this thread, not the "quick reply" button. then there's a button that says "add attachment" in the top right corner of the reply box. Push it and select "add file".
You can then select the pic you want to use off your computer/phone, etc.
Then I think you have to click "insert" and then "done"
you pic will then be in your post. |

Great haul, Angie! I love the SC masks: haven't found any around here but I'll keep searching. I also love the TH red pack: that looks really unusual. And of course, those orange stickles look yummy! Thanks for sharing your photo!

The TH red pack is the Merriment(Christmas) papers.
My TM gets dribbles and drabbles. They did get the Ranger Paint Dabbers. I grabbed about 8 at my TM and then last Friday went to the TM 45 miles away. I now have a nice collection of about 15 of the dabbers. I think I got lucky about 3 mos ago and found the SC masks. Oh and I found the gold AC binders for $8 a few months back. I grabbed about 3 of those. I wish mine would get more Spellbinders or dies in general.
There really is no rhyme or reason on what TM gets. There are 3 stores about 45 miles away and they will all have different stuff. One will have a great selection and one will just be a piddly spot.

I stopped there today, and found a bunch of packs of Echo Park papers that I can use, some packs of cute 7 Gypsies tickets, a packet of birthday die cuts from Paper House, a Spellbinders Rolodex card and tab die set, and one Echo Park collection pack. I almost missed the dies because they had most of them on an end cap instead of with the other scrapping and crafting stuff in the middle of the aisle. My store had quite a few Tim Holtz Sizzix dies (but none I would really use) and a whole bunch of different shapes of the big sets of Nestabilities, but I would only be able to use the smaller ones with my Big Kick, so I left them there even though they were a really great deal. Fun, fun, fun!
