Cricut for $299?

post #1 of 33
Thread Starter 
I found the cricut cake bundle on costco's website for $299 including shipping, as far as I can tell, it is the same bundle hsn has for $399. It comes with extra blades, cleaner, mat, the regular cake cartridge and the elegant one, and a few other things that all seem standard. Plus they are an additional $20 off from 11/26 through 12/12. This is the best deal I have found, just wondering if anyone knows of a better price before I buy. Or if I am overlooking some important item that will cost me in the long run. I'm so excited about the idea of getting one, but want to be a smart shopper.

Michaels has them for $149. You should question why they were $400 a few months ago and are now being discounted so heavily. Could it be that so many were returned to the retail stores? Could it be that a lot of people don't like them? Have you read a lot of online reviews?

My dh called all the Michaels in our state yesterday .. none of them had the cricut at that price ... they are reduced down to that because they are clearing them out, for the new one, from Martha Stewart .. some stores had them as low as 89 ...

my michaels had one for 99.99 and 70% off all the cake accesories including the cake cartridges. I love mine and have not had any problems with it cutting shapes.

could someone who wanted a regular cricut for scrapbooking be able to use the cake? isn't the only differance that there are no rings on the roller?

Are the $149-199 ones the mini or full size? My online JoAnn ad had the mini for that price, not the full size. I have read that they are difficult to use until you get the hang of it, so I want to be sure to buy it from someone who will take it back if necessary.

Maybe I'll wait around and see what happens. Thanks for all the info!

Our Micheal's had a big sale too, however, they got no Cricuts in for the sale and won't be getting any. They told us they were no longer going to carry it.

I saw that Joanns had the mini on black friday for 99.99, and the reg. one was advertised for 249.99. But Michaels black friday ads have not been released publicly yet. Where did you find that price for the one at michaels?

I get the coupons from Michaels e-mailed every week. They had a link to their Black Friday ads on there. The Cricut that is on sale for $69.99 on Black Friday is the Personal Electronic Cutter Machine (Cricut V1). It's not a Cricut Cake.

Go to http://dealspl.us/michaels-coupons and sign up for their e-mail. You can get access to their ad paper also.

Hope this helps!!

I shopped around forrrrever until I got one completely new on ebay for $169 dollars with the cartiladges and everything! Make sure you check ebay first to see if you can get a good deal on a new one!!!
However, I do have to agree with an earlier poster... I really think it was hype for me because I really never use mine. Maybe there will come a time when it becomes useful but it just is to much of a hassle for me.
