Bargain Supply Shopping

by: Stephanie of Parker's Prints

Recent economic times have gotten me shopping at more discount stores than I shop at regular stores. During my shopping trips, I was surprised to find paper crafting supplies at these locations that I always viewed as home & clothing stores. I figured, regardless if you are on a budget or not, we are all selling on Etsy with the hopes of a profit. The less you spend on supplies, the more you make. Next time you are shopping, check out some of these stores, you will be surprised at what you may find!

Here are stores I frequent, a few top brands I find there, & a few pictures of some my amazing finds.

Just a few brands I have seen & love to see at these places:
American Crafts

Martha Stewart
We R Memory Keepers
Cutter Bee
K&I Memories
K&Company
Making Memories
GCD Studios
& MANY MORE!!


Check out some of my fabulous finds:


I hope this post helps save you & your shop some money and is of use! Best wishes for continued success in your sales!

Thanks for the great information! I really appreciate seeing all the finds, too!
I have found a number of books of paper at Ross, also. And, if you look in Michael's clearance section they sometimes have great deals on books of Martha Stewart paper.

Great article and thanks so much for the tips. I knew about some of the stores, but not all!

Ah, the timing of this article is just perfect as I had just bought a load of Martha Stewart rub-ons from Big Lots. Unfortunately, they were total *junk* and wouldn't rub on as needed. So fellow bargain hunters: pass on the MS rub ons at Big Lots!
