40% off coupon from Michael's (+walmart)

Hello All,

I'd heard many folk talking about the 40% off coupon from Michael's and since this is a sale week I figured I would check it out. My first thought was wow, $49!! For a 24 pack! This is the most I'd seen a bulk back for, did some quick math in my head (factoring a 3 pack @ walmart as $4 brings the per engine savings to 0.03 each. Hardly seamed worth the extra travel time. (however after checking walmarts price is actually 4.99.. that brings the savings up to 0.38 +/- or (49*.60)+tax=31ish | 31/24=1.29 | 5/3=1.67 | Save:

9.12 (per 24)) this got me thinking how can we get walmart to carry bulk packs of engines? Based on the regular price of a three pack at Michaels walmart is about 40% cheaper, that would make for one great price at the end of the season :).

If you wait until Michael's run's the 50% coupon you really see the savings. I try to buy two during this period!

Do you know if there is a Michaels in thePhilly area that carries rocket stuff? If so where? None of the ones I've been to do.

I've gotten Bulk Packs from the one in Quakertown. The one at the Willow Grove Mall also has a small rocket section. Selection is VERY limited.
