Hobby Lobby Sale Schedule for 2024

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.

1. The Hobby Lobby sale schedule runs Monday through Saturday.

Hobby Lobby releases a new weekly ad every Sunday (though stores are closed that day), and all the discounts in the ad are available to shop Monday through Saturday.

The first thing you gotta know is that while Hobby Lobby’s weekly ad is different each week, items in certain departments, like Home Decor and Crafts, are always on sale. But this doesn’t mean all items in those departments are discounted year-round. The on-sale items may change from week to week, but you can always expect sale prices from these departments.

Hobby Lobby departments that are always on sale:

• Home Decor: 50% off either wall decor or table decor (depending on the week)

• Party: 40% – 50% off

• Crafts: 40% off

• Jewelry Making: 50% off

• Wearable Art (T-shirts): 30% off

Other departments follow a bimonthly pattern, where select items are on sale every other week.

Hobby Lobby departments that are on sale every other week:

• Florals: 40% off

• Hobbies (Boxed Puzzles & Model Kits): 40% – 50% off

• Candles & Candleholders: 40% off

• Wedding: 40% – 50% off

2. Custom frames, furniture, best-selling books, and T-shirts are always on sale at Hobby Lobby.

There are a few items that will always be on sale at Hobby Lobby and are always featured in their weekly ad. You can expect year-round discounts on best-selling books, custom frames, furniture, and T-shirts.

Best-selling Books: Always 40% – 50% off the marked price

These include best-selling Bibles, devotionals, gift books, and children’s books in the Best-selling Books department.

T-shirts: Always 30% off the marked price

T-shirts in the Wearable Art department are also always 30% off. These include youth and adult short-sleeve T-shirts, baseball and long-sleeve T-shirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, and infant and toddler T-shirts. Gildan youth and adult short-sleeve T-shirts are always $2.99 ($4.27 marked price).

Furniture: Always 30% off the marked price

Console tables, nightstands, shelves, stools, you name it. Hobby Lobby furniture is always on sale for 30% off.

Custom Frames: Always 50% off the marked price

Custom frames are always 50% off the marked price, but the discount applies to the frame only.

3. Wall decor and table decor hit 50% off every other week.

The Home Decor department at Hobby Lobby is always 50% off, but the sale switches between wall decor and table decor each week. So in the weekly ad, you’ll find a list of wall decor items on sale one week and a list of table decor items the next. It’s almost always the same list of items that get marked down for each category. So if mirrors and clocks aren’t on sale right now, you can count on them for next week.

There are three categories that are most commonly on sale: Beads, items from the Jewelry Shoppe, and items from the Metal Gallery. They go on sale for 50% off three out of four weeks. So they’ll be on sale for two weeks in a row, then skip a week, then go on sale for another two weeks.

16. Seasonal markdowns start early at 40% off but usually reach up to 75% off (or more) by the end of the season.

You'll always find seasonal items in the Hobby Lobby weekly sale schedule, but the items will change depending on the time of year. Seasonal items usually get their first markdown super early, starting at 40% off select items. But as the season or holiday inches closer, you're likely to see bigger discounts. And after it passes, discounts reach up to 75% or more.

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.
