1st of all, I hope this is the right forum, if not Mods, please feel free to relocate.
I have a bunch of posters I have been trying to get custom framed. I found a place in Chicago, called The Great Frame Up (they also have other locations in some US areas). They are a DIY/Custom Frame shop. I used to get things done there a while back, when they had an abundance of coupons.
Well I realized that on their website, they list all the locations in your area, based on zip or city. The pages also include a coupon for that store, if they have them available. Below is the web page and the locations in the City of Chicago (They have many many more in the suburbs).

And below is the link for the 30 locations around Chicagoland:

The reason I am bringing this to peoples attention is because some Great Frame Up stores that dont have coupons listed may accept other locations coupons! For instance, the store in Addison, IL has a 50% OFF ANY CUSTOM FRAME coupon, that the store near me said they would honor! This would make the frame cheaper than it would be at Michaels. (Plus I've never been a fan of Michaels to begin with)
Please call the location first to ensure they will accept the coupon. I would do full disclosure, so you dont waste your time as YMMV. So don't get mad if you're store wont accept the coupon, maybe I just got lucky, but hey, its worth a try!
Good luck, hope this helps some of you in the Chi-town area get their framing done!
