Michael's vs Hobby Lobby

I never frequent Michael's because Hobby Lobby always has the 40-50% off sales on scrapbooking items. But I went into Michael's today with a coupon to use and noted the faded sign at the door that they honor competitors coupons and sales. BUT to inquire for restrictions.

Well the cashier admitted she was new and the mgr was in an interview so there was no one to ask about those "restrictions". I'm hoping it means that since Hobby Lobby has all albums 50% off this week that I can buy them 50% off at Michael's?

I love how both stores have very different stock. I've just about bought every album Hobby Lobby has and would prefer not to repeat covers bwahaha.
