Default Best place to buy Cricut Cartridges?

YAY I just got my cricut expression this weekend!! I'm wondering where the best cartridge deals are. I found a site called www.craft-e-corner.com and they seem to have great prices. Have any of you ordered from them before?

I have ordered from her several times and had no problems at all. Be sure and sign up for her newsletter and get a 10% off code. She has sales a lot also and I've not been slammed w/e-mail either.

Truthfully, I have gotten some of my best deals on cartridges from E-Bay. I admit I always do the buy it now though. I don't have time to fool with bidding, waiting and wondering if I'd get something. If I like it, like the price, I just buy it now and I'm done.

I bought that Cricut Ideas CD from Craft-E-Corner, I ordered it Saturday night and it came today in the mail. I am anxious to play it and see if there's some ideas I like.

I still don't know too much about my machine though.

Thanks Cyndi, that's good to know, I'm thinking about ordering from her. MyCreativeClassroom.com has a Cricut Expression 101 class that just started this week, and there's loads of tutorials on youtube, if you're looking to learn more about the machine. Personally, I just signed up for the MCC class because it seemed like an organized and structured way to learn what I want to know.

by the way, I'd love to know what you think of the idea cd after you've had a chance to play with it a bit!

Congrats!! I got mine a little less than a month ago. But go to Big Lots. They have a small variety of cartridges for $30. It was awesome. I heard it from the forums and checked it. They are also having a big sale for presidents day weekend. So check it out. You can check there before you order any, possibly save on shipping on some carts you may have wanted to order. Good luck! You'll love it. :-)

Our Big Lots didn't have any cartridges :-(

I'll come back and post a review when I've had a chance to look at the CD

I got my Cricut Create from www.craft-e-corner. They are great to do business with. I also found that you can get lucky on eBay. Actually, that is where I found Craft-e-Corner. I bid on it on eBay and got it (with a cartridge) for $115.50! I have since, ordered from them.

Any e-bayers worried about buying cartridges that are duds because of the Gypsy disabling them? or are you making certain they are brand new in all the packaging.

The Gypsy only disables them for use with another Gypsy. Since I have no intentions of getting a Gypsy, that isn't an issue for me. I can still use them with my Cricut and DS. I usually buy only new cartridges on Ebay, though.

I just got back from Big Lots. Ours had three at $30, but none of them are on my wishlist. I'm a bit wary of buying on ebay.

I have had good luck with http://www.customcrops.com/ and they have several carts at $29.99 at the moment.

I wait for the cricuit cartridges to go on sale at JoAnn's, Michaels or AC Moore. You get them about 40% off, sometimes more.

Ah bummer for Big Lots. Hopefully they'll get some more in soon. Are you talking about the CD that comes with your cricut? I watched it. It's ok. Informative since I didn't know much and it gives you two projects to do. But I watched them at pinkstamper's site and she makes it more realistic.

I buy most of my cartridges & mats at www.customcrops.com they are the cheepest place to get 12 x 12 mats that I've found. The one time I bought cartridges on ebay I got burned so I will never buy them off there again.

I get allof mine from Memory Miser.com

Anything over $34.99 is free shipping. Most Cartridges are $39.99. Depending on where you are, no sales tax. GREAT SERVICE!!

Well I decided to check out Craft-e-Corner on ebay and ended up getting three cartridges from them for less than the retail cost of one! Shipping was quick and the items are sealed in the original plastic packaging. I am very pleased and would recommend checking them out, even if you're sketchy about ordering on ebay

I love them and buy from them quite often. If you haven't yet, go to their website and register for their newsletter. You get 10% off your next purchase and if you refer someone, you and that person get 10% off. You can use them anytime, even on sale stuff.

I have been very pleased with them both on and off E-Bay. I love the no sales tax and free shipping.

I ordered my Cricut Create and all of my cartridges from Craft-e-Corner either thru their website or their eBay auctions. They've got great prices and free shipping! Also, every cartridge I've received from their store comes with a 10% off coupon.
