Okay, so I’ve been needing new tarot bags for all my decks, but man, those fancy velvet ones cost an arm and a leg. Figured I’d hunt for cheap options online – who doesn’t love a good deal? Here’s exactly what I did step by step.
The Frustration Starts
First, I dug through my closet hoping to reuse old pouches. Found some dusty drawstring bags from random stuff, but they were either too big or too ugly. One had “Corporate Retreat 2012” printed on it – yeah, no. Total bust.
Diving Into Online Searches
Hopped onto my laptop and typed stuff like “tarot bags bulk discount” and “cheap tarot pouches” right into the search bar. Noticed a pattern real quick:
- Big craft sites had basic cotton bags for like $4 each – still pricey for 20+ decks.
- Random sellers on marketplaces offered “mystic velvet” sacks but looked sketchy as heck in reviews.
- Then I tried adding words like “wholesale” or “clearance.” Ding ding ding!
Playing the Discount Game
Found a bunch listing “imperfect” or “undyed” bags way cheaper. Grabbed plain muslin ones sold in packs of 10 – super plain, but who cares? They’re hidden in drawers anyway! Also did this:
- Signed up for newsletters on three sites for first-time coupons (instant 15% off – sweet!).
- Searched “tarot bag coupon code 2024” and found two active ones stacked on a sale section.
Ended up with a cart full of unbleached cotton bags that cost less per piece than my morning coffee.
What Worked & Final Haul
Total score: 24 bags for under $30 shipped. Not velvet, but solid fabric that won’t shed on my cards. Pro tip? Filter search results by “lowest price” and ignore fancy photos. Half these sites just drop-ship the same factory stuff anyway. If you’re picky about colors, buy plain ones and dye them yourself – way cheaper than “artisan” prices. Feels good to outsmart the system for once!
