There’s nothing worse than stocking up on scrapbooking supplies only to find they went on sale the very next week. Knowing the Hobby Lobby sale schedule is a big help when it comes to getting the best prices. And when you can save anywhere from 30% to 90% on regular prices, it’s a no-brainer.

Fabric, picture frames, wedding items, and home decor are some of the best things to buy at Hobby Lobby, and you can find sale prices on all of them more than once a month. While some departments at Hobby Lobby (like furniture) are always on sale, others switch off every other week — and the items included aren’t always the same.

That’s why one of the best Hobby Lobby savings hacks is to learn the ins and outs of their weekly ad. While the Hobby Lobby sale schedule isn’t as easy to predict these days, we uncovered some patterns to help you plan your shopping trips around the savings.

Before we dive into all the discounts you can count on in 2023, be sure to download The Krazy Coupon Lady app to track all the best Hobby Lobby deals that drop.

For example, fall decor, florals, crafts, and tableware start at 40% off in early August. But by early November, they get bumped to 75% off.
