    I wonder if this sale is on in Canada? Do Michael's sales run across the border? I'd like to start framing some of my posters. Professional Frames, not my crappy walmart frames :)

    They have a page on the Michaels Canada website that you can put your postal code in...

    Usual 40% off 'ONE' item here in Alberta, but it excludes custom framing.
    A rare few times a year they will have a coupon specific for custom framing but it isn't huge, 20% or 30% maybe.
    I presume it's the same in BC.
    Thanks. Any idea what's better. The % off one item (because I see that all the time) or the overall percentage off framing? I'm guessing it would be the framing, because the framing part is probably more than the frame, so 20% or 30% all of it, would be more than 40% off just the frame?

    Yup. Discount off custom framing is cheaper. Michaels seams to be ridiculous for custom framing though. I find it's barely worth it even with the discount. Ive had better
    luck with a local framing shop.

    'Single item' coupons are really only great if you want those big 24x36 prehung poster frames just to get them on the wall where they are safe because you came home one day to see the kids having an epic lightsabre battle with poster tubes...
