Hobby Lobby is not only a go-to for craft supplies and home decor, it’s also a staple for discounts—including the famed 40% off coupon. And if you’re wondering what happened to this popular coupon, you’re not alone. Hobby Lobby discontinued the long-time promotion at the end of February 2021 with a promise to provide even more discounts in the future.
Even without that particular promotion, there are still plenty of ways to save on all of the craft supplies, fabrics, decor, and more at Hobby Lobby. You can start by browsing Groupon Coupons’ collection of Hobby Lobby coupons to save year-round. Read on below for more ways to save big on your next trip to the craft store.
Shop the Hobby Lobby Weekly Ad
One sure-fire way to save is with the Hobby Lobby weekly ad. Find deals and coupons that are often 30% to 60% off. (And sometimes up to 90% off!) You can find a new one each week on their website and app.
Savings Tip: Hobby Lobby ads change on Saturday nights. If you see a sale sign in front of a display on Saturday night, whether it applies to this week’s or next week’s sale, the store will likely honor it. (This may not work at all stores, but you could get double the discounts.)
Find All the Hobby Lobby Sales
There’s nothing worse than purchasing an item at full price and finding out it went on sale the following week. Avoid that frustration by learning when to find the best deals for what you need. Here are a few things to note about Hobby Lobby’s sales schedule:

Black Friday Sale at Hobby Lobby
Hobby Lobby doesn’t really do much for Black Friday. The Weekly Ad is pretty similar to other weeks and the store hours are the same. The one thing to keep an eye out for is a potential Cricut sale. Cricuts are rarely discounted anywhere, but last year the Cricut Explore Air 2 was $50 cheaper at Hobby Lobby the week of Black Friday.
Take Advantage of the Hobby Lobby Price Match
Hobby Lobby will match the price of a direct competitor (Joann, Michaels, and others) on the exact same item. There are some restrictions with this one:
- It must be the listed price (not a percent-off sale price)
- It does not apply to doorbusters, clearance items, close-out sales, and certain brands (including Cricut, Silhouette, Sizzix, Cuttlebug, Simplicity & McCall’s patterns)
- It must be in-store, you cannot use price match online

Shop Hobby Lobby Clearance Items
There are several chances to save big with clearance items online and in stores. In the store, look for red tags—these indicate a permanent clearance price, meaning it will never go back to the regular price. Best to grab these when you see them because once they are gone, they are gone for good! Coupons cannot be used on clearance items.
