I think the prices here are much better than Michael's, much bigger selection too. I was pretty shocked when I found that an equivalent package of colored tissue paper was 99 cents at Hobby Lobby and $2.99 at Michael's (yeesh!).  But, at the same time, the wait at the register is super long. The last two times I was here I was 4th in line and there was only 1 register open. The cashier was waiting for a price check or supervisor approval or something so just sat and waited for help while his line of customers continued to grow.
