Okay, I don't know if everyone knows just how great Lowes is and why they should be shopping there if they can. In addition to doubling 20 coupons with a value of up to .99 each, they have some great internet resources. I am going to list how I utilize everything Lowes has to offer each week to give me the best and easiest savings in town!

Each Sunday, as I flip through my new coupons (which I don't clip until I need), I have Lowes Food To Go Website pulled up. The stores I shop at don't have the service but I always just use the store listed that is closest to me and all the prices/inventory seem to be the same.

When I find a coupon for a product that I want, I do a search for it on the Lowes Food To Go Website and add it to my Master List with the details of the coupon (date of insert, $ off, expiration date).

In addition to my paper coupons, there's also Lowes Instasave coupons that you can use for products that are often on sale as well. You simply add them to your card and note these w/ expiration dates on your Master List just like you would your paper coupons. They will automatically come off of your total when you scan your card and purchase that product.

Then, each week, when I make my grocery list, I pull up the Master List to see if any of those items I have coupons for are on sale.

The circular for the current week is also listed on this site along with E-For You that will tell you others items that you've purchased frequently that are on sale.

After you've browsed through your master list and the circular and added everything to your cart that you plan on using coupons for that week, you can do general searches for milk, eggs, etc. to see if any of the staples you need and might not have coupons for are on sale as well.

Then I pull up my shopping cart and do a print screen or just copy it down to save ink if it's a small list and I'm ready to go!

I love always knowing what the store's price is on any product and the only downside of this site is that it's spoiled me and I don't like shopping anywhere else where I can't find all their prices with just a click of my mouse!

Thanks! You are one organized person

That is so organized.
I do good to draw a circle around the things I want to get on the ad!
Yes, I do do that!

Thanks for sharing this!
I haven't shopped there in maybe two months, but I also use the tips you outlined!

Lowes Foods Rocks! I love their store coupons when they come out, ie 3 week coupons!

Has Lowe's Foods gone back to doing any Triples?? When I was in NC....they had just about stopped. Have wondered what they were doing with the frequency that HT is doing them! I also used the "Foods To Go" feature for them and HT when I lived there. It was priceless!

I am going to sticky this if you don't mind.

Carolyn...nope! They still haven't done triples!

I figured they'd step it up with HT doing it monthly lately, but nadda.

WOW....that's insane! They must have really lowered their prices then, cause where they were, without doing triples to be competitive....I don't know how they are staying afloat!

I definitely would love to see more triples. But the closest HT to me is almost 30 minutes away so it's not hard for me to justify going to Lowes. But, yeah, if I had a HT near by, I'd probably have to split my love between the two stores.

Sharriel, I'm glad you're going to sticky it, I was actually thinking about PMing the FL to see if she could because I know doing these simple things have really cut my list making time down each week. I hope others will be able to use them as well!
