Retired Cricut Deals and Edge of Your Seat Updates

So I did find a couple noteworthy deals lately, not sure yet if I'm going to purchase the first one yet or not. It really is an adorable Cricut Cartridge.  The Cricut "When it's Cold Outside" seasonal cartridge is retired, and fetches upwards of $100+ on ebay. It's snowflakes, lots and lots of snowflakes. Anywho, CartridgesandMore.com has limited quantities for $29.99 and an online promo code "CRICUT" gets you an extra 20% off.

Snowflake Seasonal Sensation!

I like and I don't like Cartridgesandmore, it is rare to find a truly "good deal" there. Then send me emails weekly about their "sales" but the prices are nearly always the same.  I do like that they throw in a free Northridge Publication in with every order. I do like me some Cricut Magazine and Idea Books.

While I'm on the subject of Northridge Publishing...I recently logged on and to my surprise they are no longer printing Cricut Magazine or Cricut Idea Books. Seems they think that everyone  wants the digital version. Sadness. Well, I guess that is one "old school" customer lost. Seems more like a ploy to lower costs but still charge the same amount.

Ok, deal number two...isn't really a great deal at the moment, but could save you some dough if you've been looking for Cricuts "Joys of the Season" retired, hard to find etc cartridge.  Cricut.com in one of their signature "sneaky" moves has quietly re released "Joys" on their website. Right now it is $39.99 but last week during their 8 hour flash sale, it was much cheaper, and could easily go on sale again...or they could just run out... sometimes this game is a gamble!  This cartridge easily fetches $50+ on ebay and other places as well and makes a great addition to any collection!

Joyful Jumping! Onward to Cricut.com!!

I know, I failed to notify everyone of the Cricut Flash Sale. Shameful.

Now updates on some of my earlier posted deals...

LOVE THE SEWING MACHINE! Limited time of course, to play, as I have so many hobbies and so very little "Mommy time" but so far so good!  Looks like it went back up in price soon after I bought it. Weird, who knew that sewing machines had such a volatile market?! Just a note that I was not terribly impressed with Walmart's Ship to Store. It came a week later than it was suppose to. Nice. Don't they know I was on pins and needles?!?

Oh My Crafts Sizzix deals are increasingly frustrating. I remember warning readers that they have great deals, IF you want to wait...but geez! Orders I placed on 8/21 have YET to ship and I'm feeling a bit ansy. My last email requesting an ETA or SOMETHING was met with, "I can't give you one, if you would like a refund, I can issue that." Whoa, back the horse up.  I don't want a refund. My husband has finally accepted that money is GONE! LOL Get it back and he might put it somewhere PRACTICAL! I just find it pretty unreasonable that in nearly November my "Ships in September" order has not...shipped.

Cricut Rolling Tote Extravaganza!

So this weeks deal I something I'm not going to be buying right now. Massive sadness. However...It's getting to be THAT season, and my husband complains that I'm impossible to shop for. Soooo I'm trying to restrain myself. Also, I spent a lot of money stocking up on clearance goodies at craft stores during our vacation last month to the big city.

However, for those less naughty, this looks to be the best deal so far on the CGull Rolling tote for a Cricut Expression. I think I mentioned salivating over it in an earlier post, on sale for $60. Today, Cuttingbugs.com has it sale priced for $45!

Here is the quickest route:
Roll me to my tote destiny!

I did a quick search, and Amazon still features the tote for $71, Walmart is a whopping $89.99.

Now, to decide if I want the pleather brown one with pink trim, or the green polka dot....Then leave the webpage open in several places so my husband doesn't forget the rest of my more subtle hints!!

I love Cricut-ing at work on night shift, to decorate our office, but hauling the expression, paper, mats, cartridges, etc is an armful! This would make things so much easier!
