The Cricut Maker is a hot commodity for Black Friday this year. This amazing little machine has been out for over a year and we’re expecting great prices and bargains this year … and we were not disappointed! If you’re looking to get one, I can help — this post has all the Cricut Maker Cyber Monday 2018 deals I’ve found so far!

 

First, you should know that the retail price of a Cricut Maker is $399 — so any deals you see should be compared to that price, which has not varied much since it was introduced in summer 2017.

If you’re in a hurry and already know you want a Cricut Maker…

Now, if you’re still on the fence about getting a Cricut Maker, let me just tell you about my experience with it. I bought a Cricut Maker the day it came out last summer and haven’t stopped using it since. Not only can I cut paper and vinyl on the Maker, but I can cut material (like felt and fleece), crepe paper, chipboard, and thin wood (like balsa and basswood). It’s strong, fast, and super accurate. The Cricut has changed my crafting life in ways I couldn’t foresee before I got it. This blog is literally built on the amazing crafts I’m able to make because of this machine.

Here’s me with my awesome Cricut Maker — I just love this thing:

If you’re not sure if the Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore is best for you, see this article I wrote: Cricut Maker vs Cricut Explore: What’s Different, What’s Best.

Black Friday this year is Friday, Nov. 23, and often the sales go through Cyber Monday, Nov. 26, 2018. This a once-a-year HUGE sale and its a massive deal for Cricut lovers. Every year Cricuts go on sale and many of us get our machines at great prices this way.

I’ve analyzed all the Cricut Maker Cyber Monday 2018 sales I’ve found all over in the web and in all the craft store flyers. There are different colors and bundles available in different places. I’ve ranked them all below in the order of best price and value so you can compare these Black Friday deals head to head.

Keep in mind that sometimes the pre-Black Friday deals are as good as, or better, than the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. I think for Cricut Makers themselves, however, that we’ll see the best prices on Black Friday through Cyber Monday itself. I’ll be updating this list as I discover new deals, so please bookmark it!

Note: This list includes Amazon’s Cyber Monday deals (and if you’re a Prime member, you get early access to Black Friday deals, so keep that in mind. Amazon has some really interesting DIY & CRAFT deals I am to my Christmas shopping list for myself and my family — and I thought you might like to know about these deals, too. But be warned — it’s addicting.

  1. Well, you convinced me. I don’t do scrapbooking. I don’t need vinyl letters…well not so far. My daughter is a whiz at origami and paper cutting, I am not. What I do need is something to cut all those little fine things and sewing that now kill my back to do, and let’s face it, my eyes aren’t so good either. Yes, I would definitely use it for sewing. All charged up, I mentioned it to my daughter with a link to you. She immediately jumped on the bandwagon with great enthusiasm. I was surprised, she’s great at cutting things out. But she went up up and away with ideas.

    My daughter and I are disabled, she’s pretty much housebound and so am I. But in the excitement, I got inspired to check out the train fare, and it’s actually pretty reasonable. We sometimes go years without seeing each other because I no longer can drive that long. Now we are planning monthly get togethers. We plan to sell some things, at least enough to feed our art habit. I bullet journal, so I will be using it for stencils too. Pet wear, anyone? We are burning up our phones with texting (we are also hearing impaired). All this excitement and we don’t even have the machine yet.

    It’s a big expense for us, but from everything I’ve read, I figure as a retired graphic artist, I can make it pay for itself. So thank you for turning me on to this machine!

    I will be buying it through one of your links so you will get the credit. So far, everyone has dropped their price to $340. I’ll ride it out for a few more hours, but I bet it doesn’t go lower.
