Getting the Most From Craft Store Coupons

I love craft stores like Joann Fabric and Crafts, Michaels, or Hobby Lobby. I love them even more when they're like Joann's and they let me stack multiple competitor coupons together with their own for big savings. But sometimes, even with all that stacking, I have leftovers. I will either give my coupons to other customers who end up looking at me like I'm crazy because it is a Michael's coupon and we're in Joann's... or I buy things we need around the house that craft stores also sell to maximize my savings.  I compiled a little list for you.

Ideas:
- vanilla, butter, or almond extracts for baking
- food coloring or sprinkles
- parchment paper
- wrapping paper
- a pack of Thank You cards or notes
- Wilton baking pans
- office supplies like Post-Its, pens, or Sharpies.
- batteries! they're never on sale!
- candles and candle holders
- birthday or holiday gifts for children like craft sets or Crayola Wonder products or K'Nex
- stock school supplies early
- stock ribbon and baskets for gift giving around the holidays
- check the cash wrap area for things like tumbler cups and insulated Starbucks-style travel mugs
- cookbooks
- books in general!
- a snack, gum, candy, or beverage at the checkout
- paper plates and disposable party wear for barbecues
- picture frames
- a really nice, new glue gun (this seems silly but I've only ever bought cheap ones)
- a nice pair of scissors or pinking sheers
- Goo B Gone
- a bulletin or white board
- spray paint
- refrigerator magnets
- contact paper
- staple gun and replacement staples for reupholstering
- 3M command strips or hooks
- tweezers
- duct tape
