Slightly off topic...but doesn't Hobby Lobby usually have a 50% off sale by now? Last year they had 3 or 4 if I can recall...Though I think the first one was around Easter. Maybe? Sure, their selection is limited and pretty similar store to store (though not 100%), but that 50% off sale can't be beaten with a lead pipe!

If I've detected their schedule for model sales it seems to be like this. Around early to mid Feb they normally have a coupon sale, like they did last week. You need to check their website for both newspaper and coupon adds. They do NOT post the coupon at the store so you need to check the website for their coupon add. They normally have a newspaper add around March, just in time for my birthday. Normally another newspaper add in June, around fathers day but not always, again in Sept, and again in early December. The December add is normally only 40% off, go figure. I haven't got a good handle on their coupon adds, except for the one in Feb.

Yes, there needs to be a alert system in place!

Do a forum search, there were several Hobby Lobby alerts posted the week prior on RMS, FSM and here. Someone even posted a link to the coupon in Armorama. That's where I downloaded mine from. I'd consider three threads about the same subject in the same modeling forum "an alert".
