The products included in the Lowe’s selection cover a wide variety of needs, and on top of their quality, they are often paired with different offers so that you can get the items you need without paying the full price. Here are a few Lowe’s shopping hacks to help you dwarf your payments next time you shop.
Weekly Deals
One of the easiest ways to save money is to check the Lowe’s latest weekly ad sale before your next purchase. The retailer releases weekly deals that feature discounts on selected merchandise. Past flyers included discounts on appliances, storage items, furniture, bath items, and lighting, to name a few.
For example, one of the latest weekly flyers featured a $30 price drop on a 5-tier bookcase and a discount of $20 on a steel shelving unit. Greater price cuts applied to select bath products; a bathroom vanity with top and mirror was discounted from $249 to $149. Weekly offers can thus help you save on the products you need for your home, garden, or DIY projects, and savings can therefore add up, especially when your shopping list includes several items.
Clearance Items
If you urgently need new home improvement and garden items or appliances, you don’t have to wait for the weekly flyer to be released, though. The clearance section is worth checking out as it includes low prices on a variety of items so that you can save every day.
Examples of discounts featured in this section include 10% off select refrigerators, 15% off select toilet chairs, as well as free shipping on select purchases. Therefore, make sure you also visit this section before you shop.
Bulk Savings
If home improvement is what you do for a living, then it is worth trying the bulk section at Lowe’s since the more you buy, the more you save. This section features a variety of products that can be purchased in bulk. You will see that the items featured have a ‘bulk savings’ badge, which means that when you buy a certain number of items from that product category, the price per item is discounted.
For example, recent bulk savings included a 10% price drop on purchases of four select ceiling fans, 10% off when buying 12 pieces of FloorComfort 100-sq ft Premium 2 mm Flooring, and even 30% off 15 pieces of Unfaced Stone Wool Batt Insulation.
Sales Events
Lowe’s is famous for the discounts it features during big sale events, such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Past Black Friday editions brought discounts of up to 40% on select appliances, bonus savings of up to $600 with select purchases, and free shipping on select major appliance orders, to name a few.
Such events are some of the best opportunities when it comes to saving big on home improvement products and appliances. Sales event ads are usually released before the event goes live so that customers can get an idea of what is on sale, how much they can save, and thus make their shopping list ahead of time.
Keeping an eye on such flyers and events is thus the thing to do whenever there’s something new you need for your place or even work if you’re in the home improvement business.
Price Match Guarantee
The hacks mentioned-above aren’t the only ones to consider when it comes to shopping at Lowe’s. With the store’s price match option, you can save even further.
If you’re interested in buying a product at Lowe’s yet you find an in-stock, identical item (brand, size, model number) at a local or online retail competitor with a lower price, just show a Lowe’s store associate the flyer or even a digital ad featuring that item. The associate will verify if the product is eligible, and if it turns out to be so, will match the price on the spot.
Read the price match policy before your next shopping session for more details on the store’s terms and conditions.
Open-Box Appliances
If you’re not new to Lowe’s, you probably know that the in-store appliance section includes the so-called ‘open-box appliances.’ In case you’re new to this retailer, though, learn that this is another great way to save big on appliances.

This section features products that may have been used as floor models or may have been returned. Such items might thus have dents or scratches, but they should work just fine, so if you don’t mind a few marks, it is worth visiting this part of Lowe’s stores.
