    Caution with LOWES triple coupons - you do have to spend a minimum of $35 (before tax).

    Yes, it is a 20 coupon limit and $35 before tax and coupons. Also, if you get their advertisement they have a triple greenpoints coupon too.
    I went yesterday. Before coupons my total was $105. 94 after it was $44.65. I think I am getting better at this stuff. :D

    Couple questions:

    *Is it a total of $35 before coupons are redeemed?
    *Do they only allow you to shop once a day w/ coupons if you are using your Lowes card?

    Thanks,
    Dawn

    Yes it is Before. I don't know if it is once a day or not. I am sure you could call them and ask.

    In the fine print does that $35 before taxes exclude beer/wine and cigarette purchases too?

    Also, for anyone who gets the Clayton Extra in the mail, there is a coupon on the back page for $10 of purchase of $50 or more, and that one does excluding beer/wine and cigarette purchases. It's only good for a few days, this weekend I think.

    I missed out on the 4042.com Lowe's chatter yesterday because I was busy shopping! :lol:

    There are some very good deals to be had at Lowe's right now. I highly recommend getting the Clayton paper and using the coupon for $10 off any $50 or more purchase. Make sure you have them ring that coupon first before any of your manufacturer's coupons.

    Although they do have a $35 minimum before they will triple coupons, if you are doing your weekly shop there this week and have enough good coupons, you will do very well.

    When I went last night, my subtotal before coupons was $56 and change. after the Lowe's $10 coupon and my manufacturer's coupons were tendered, they owed me $5.40 ! :shock:

    So, gather your coupons and get to the store!

    Dawn, regarding your question about how many times you can go a day: The policy is 20 coupons per day. If you go to more than one Lowe's, they will not know the difference and will triple them at each store, just like Harris Teeter.

    tassy, the $35 min. is not supposed to include beer and cigs.

    Remember that Harris Teeter triples starts tomorrow-Sunday. They triple up to 20 coupons up to a value of $0.99 . So, a $0.75 coupon
    will be worth $2.25!

    It would be so nice if they came to Clayton. The Winn Dixie manager told me earlier in the week that Harris Teeter made a lowball offer on the WD store, but they turned it down because it was so low. Maybe after a few months they will change their minds and sell to the Teeter!

    Winn Dixie has also started marking items down to clearance prices. The greeting cards were 50% off on Monday as well as a number of other items. Each week they will mark more and more down until it is gone, according to the manager.

    Happy Shopping! :D

    Did they actually give you the $5.40 back?? Just curious!

    Also, if you go to the same Lowes just different times of the day, will they know via your Lowes card?

    Sorry for all the questions.

    Thanks,
    Dawn

    I bought a gallon of milk and another smaller item and owed them 99 cents when all was said and done.

    The register does not automatically triple the coupons. The cashier enters a code at the end to triple them. I guess if they don't recognize you, they would do it again. You can only use the $10 coupon once per Lowe's card though.

    Also, I heard that the $10 coupon is also in the "Extra" section that comes in the mail.

    Anyone else have any good savings to share?

    This is what I call an EXCELLENT thread.

    Since this is about saving money.....the Murphy gas station at Walmrat, will accept any cigarette coupons and allow you to use them on another brand. For example, my husband smokes Marlboro Lights. We always get awesome Camel coupons in the mail. Matter of fact, he took some today. Each time Camel sends us coupons they are: 3 - $6 off a carton and 2 or 3 $1 off a pack coupons. They will let you buy one carton of Marlboro's and use ALL of those at the same time. I have bought him cartons for $0.23!!! Just a tip, they like Camel and Marlboro coupons better than any others because they are their biggest sellers. They can't use a lot of Winston coupons because they don't sell much of them. In other words, at the end of the night, they can't have 4 Winston carton coupons if they only sold one carton of them.

    OOHHH!! One more. In the Sunday paper, there was a free $30 Gift Card coupon for Kmart if you filled or transferred two new prescriptions!! I don't care for Kmart but Target will take this coupon and give you a $30 Gift Card (Walmart won't do this). I have two that I am getting filled tonight that will cost me about $2.50 and I get a $30 gift card!! What a deal!

    Great job, mommyof2! I am very proud of you! 50% savings is wonderful! Keep it up and thanks again for hosting the class on Saturday, it was lots of fun. :D

    Dawn, I am very, very impressed! Your savings are awesome. Doesn't it feel great to get such amazing deals?!

    I went to the Cary Harris Teeters today and the total before coupons and sales was $122.40 and after coupons were tendered I paid them $7.95! :lol: 8)

    Remember to check the Clayton Winn Dixie for the clearance prices each week. The closer they get to closing in Sept, the better the deals! I think I will swing by there tomorrow and I will post what I find.

    Dh and I went to HT and he was so excited when he bought $100 worth of groceries for $23. Then I come out with $125 in Groceries for $43. Dh was most impressed when he realized with the triple couponing some items were for free or they were paying us back for buying them. I may have created the second shopaholic in our family. :lol:

    Then we headed over to Kroger for some of their 10 for 10 deals. I had coupons and got some items for free! I paid $5 for 10 on Pizza Rolls and TV dinnners.

    I am having a lot of fun with this but my fridge and Freezer and cabinets are overflowing for the first time so I may have to take a break.
