This surprise Cricut Joy Xtra deal is actually worth it (I've done the math)

The new Cricut Joy Xtra only launched a couple of months ago so deals are rare, but Cricut's exclusive Everything Bundle is a genuine bargain. You can get the Cricut Joy Xtra, materials, tools and a subscription to Cricut Access for $199 - the craft cutter alone costs $199, so these extras are actually free.

This new craft cutter is slightly larger than the portable Cricut Joy but smaller than the Cricut Explore 3, but it's still a capable machine - able to cut, score and emboss materials for craft and sewing projects.
