Hobby Lobby - Aurora, IL Review

Hobby Lobby is an all around fantastic store- they carry mostly anything crafty that a person can think of. Hobby Lobby is a gigantic store and can easily spend hours upon hours in browsing around for your favorite items. Most of the items they carry are nicely made. They sell tons of whatever youre looking for be it arts, fabric, fake plants, picture frames, candles, baskets, wall decor, wedding, lamps, clocks, holiday, paints, jewlery, cards, scrapbooking, bags, etc. Another great thing is that if you go to www.hobbylobby.com and find that what youre looking for isn't on sale, their is always a 40% coupon to print & use on ONE NON-SALE merchandise only item.

The only thing that I dislike about Hobby Lobby is that I feel that I don't really get a good deal. Yeah, somethings are cheap but then others such as 4x6 picture frames are priced $19.99 and then 50% off which ends up $9.99 (which should be the maximum price of this smaller picture frame). I just don't see the $9.99 being a good deal. The end up pricing items higher so when they have 'deals' on them, they aren't losing money.  I also think that most candles aren't worth buying their either (although they are hard to resist since they're so cute/unique).

Overall, when I get the urges to shop at Hobby Lobby, I always go in with an open mind. 85% of the time I find something to buy at a decent price. I would recommend anyone to at least try this store out. My mother hates Hobby Lobby for the simple fact that it's "just too big!" and "theirs just too much stuff!" so, if you're like that- this probably isn't the store for you.
