Anyone ever used any of the fake plants from the craft stores in your tanks???
Thought it might work out better and cheaper too

I'd check them out pretty good before using them, and see what they are made of.....I use reptile terrarium plants in my tanks though, which are usually a lot cheaper.......
Been using them for years. Be careful though. I use the silk and plastic style you see in fish stores. Watch out for plants with wire in them. Check the link in my sig. almost all of those plants came from Michaels.

Again, I would not recommend it....
Aquarium plants are probably more expensive for a reason. For your pets safety, stick to the recommended.

Maybe they cut the bottom off and glued a rock to it and sell it for 4 times the price. But hey, I'm a cheap basterd 
It depends, at Dollarama I saw those sheets of fake plants along the bottom for 2 dollars a sheet, like 2' x 2' and i saw the EXACT same thing at big als for like 13-15 bucks.
I use some plants from there, but never anything but the plastic, and i always look for the pure plastic plants, the ones that you can just pop apart, it makes cleaning easier plus no glue.

I use craft plants because they are extremely cheap, look much better and more real than regular aqua plants, and they are much bigger and you get more bang for your buck than the reg. aqau plants.
