I really do not understand Michaels' business model. I often get their coupons every week in snail mail and in the Sunday paper, meaning most people have them without having to go seek them out online. Plus the fact that they often print out a coupon for the following week with purchases. It is often like a critical nuclear reaction in which I cannot use all of the coupons.

They have everyone conditioned to use the discount on pricier items not specifically excluded by the fine print.
