Looking for the Cricut at a reasonable price

[Jessd]

Hi!

I am looking for the Cricut machine at a good price. My local Hobby Lobby has it for 194.99. I know that you can't use the %off coupons that they come out with to buy the machines, but can you use them to buy the cartridges and that cute little carry bag that they have for it?

Another question, the cartridge that it comes with, are there lots of different shapes and fonts on it? If I don't buy another other cartridges for it yet, is there alot that I can do with the one that it comes with? Where do you get the cartridges without paying an arm and a leg?

I have a feeling that this is going to be expensive in the long run, but it looks so cool!

Thanks!

if you are looking at the smaller Cricut, it comes with the George Cartridge. Which is a good basic cart with an alphabet and shapes.
You can not use the coupons on the cartridges and some places let you use the coupon on accessories, you would have to ask. I'm not sure about Hobby Lobby.

Check Walmart though because they might have the machine for $184, and if you have an ACMoore or Michael's near by they have them on sale on occasion too.

there are several places to get carts on sale, the above mentioned stores (We post enablers in the scrapbook section here), and a few stores on line, and ebay.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
