I was just browsing the A.C.Moore website looking at a couple different “basic” craft supplies that I’m running low on like glue sticks and seed beads and I came across a link to A.C. Moore’s “unadvertised craft supply specials.” It’s near the bottom of the page on the right side, down by the Store Locator tab.  I don’t know if the link has always been there and I just missed it or if it’s a new link that shows all their sales that they don’t want to publicize too much.

Sure, some of the unadvertised specials really aren’t that secret.  For example, right now the AC moore website is listing 40% off scrapbooking supplies as an unadvertised special, but today I received a newspaper insert that listed the same scrapbooking supply sale (though for different dates).  Overall, though, I’m impressed with the sales they have listed on the AC Moore website.

In fact, the whole AC Moore website has really improved in the past six months or so.  Instead of just being a website that lists their craft supply store locations they also have up all their sales fliers, a larger collection of items from their stores and lots of online web enhancements.

Two of the biggest improvements I’ve seen are their online craft video tutorials and their craft supply forum where you can talk and leave messages with other crafty people and see what other neat and clever crafty things other people are doing.  AC Moore even allows people to talk about where they found their craft supply deals, even if it isn’t in their store!

Though you still can’t buy your craft supplies online at the AC Moore website, I would recommend using it as a good place to check up  what sort of craft supplies are actually available before you drive across town to your local store.  All in all, AC Moore is still a great place to get cheap craft supplies, though the unadvertised sales on certain craft supplies certainly helps!
