By Janette Miller


Everyone knows that your local craft store is a fantastic place to get your scrapbook supplies, however this comes at a price. Anyone who's shopped at one of these places knows how fast the bills add up.

If you need to drive your buck further, there are a bunch of other places to get lots of cheap scrapbooking supplies for your next project.

If you have been online or have friends who've brought things online, there's a good chance it came from Amazon. Amazon is to all intents and purposes the largest 'department store ' on the web.

It sells everything from groceries to microbiology tools. It has a surprisingly huge range of scrapbook supplies. Whether you're after materials, equipment or , its all there.

It cuts out all the hard work of looking and you can also shop by price, brand, new arrivals and even by color. This is fantastic if you're trying to find that 'special something ' to blend in with the other colours in your scrapbook.

If you do not mind doing a touch more searching yourself, you might want to consider...

Ebay

If you've never heard about Ebay, its essentially the worlds biggest garage sale. Here everybody from all over the world sells new and 2nd hand items they are no longer using.

You'll find lots of folks that either don't really wish to keep doing or are too busy for scrapbooking anymore. You will find some fabulous deals from folk selling bits or entire collections of their scrapbooking materials.

Its quite simple to net a bargain here.

If you are looking to try before purchasing you might want to have a look at attending some flea markets or garage sales.

Once in a while you may come across someone looking to sell their you'll probably pick it up for awfully low prices.

Every once in a while you will come across somebody interested in selling their scrapbooking supplies and materials and you'll likely pick it up for very low prices.
