In my opinion, this store is way better than Jo-annes if all you're looking for is art and craft supplies. Jo-annes is a HUGE store, but when it comes to prices, I'd much rather be in Michaels.
Shopping at Michaels is actually a great way to inspire some interior decoration. They have art and photo prints that you can hang up in your house for rather cheap prices and other decorations that you can paint and decorate yourself. Kits are a bit pricey (but it's like that anywhere) since all you need is right in the kit.
I went to Michaels yesterday and they were having a pretty big sale and I bought some relaly nice 2006 calenders for only $1 each!! You know...random sales like that always happen at Michaels, haha.
