Free Lowe’s Gift Card + Little Known Shopping Hacks

#1: Shop for FREE at Lowe’s with Free Gift Cards from Swagbucks!

First, sign up with Swagbucks using code FRUGAL100 to score 100 FREE SB Points.

There are so many easy ways to earn points.  More SB points = More Free Lowe’s Gift Cards!  Be sure to use my easy tips for 16 Ways to Earn More Swagbucks SB Points.

How to Get Free Lowes Gift Cards

Swagbucks: Here’s what your Frugal Friends said about using Swagbucks…

“Love Swagbucks!” ~ Lynn

“Been using for many years, best ways to get cash back on where you shop” ~ Alexis

“Swagbucks is widely considered one of the top companies online to receive free rewards.

I LOVE using Swagbucks, and have been cashing in SB Points to get Free Gift Cards every month for over 10 years!

#2: Shop for Free at Lowes.com With FREE PayPal Gift Cards!

Did you know that you can use PayPal when checking out online?  Go start collecting FREE PayPal Gift Cards when you take surveys with Survey Junkie.  Once you reach 1,000 points, you can cash out your points for a $10 PayPal Gift Card!

Yes… that means you can shop online at Lowe’s for FREE!!

#3: Always Check the Lowe’s Weekly Ad Before You Shop!

Lowes Ad For This Week

Before heading to the store, be sure to check the new Lowe’s Weekly Ad to find out what’s on sale this week.  Sales are constantly changing, and the only way to make sure you’re not missing out on a deal is to take a few minutes to review the ad before you shop.

#4: Never Pay for Shipping + Get FREE Curbside Pickup!

Lowes Free In Store Pickup

Why pay for shipping when you don’t have to??  I often find that the items I want to buy are only available online.  To avoid paying for shipping, I signed up for a Free My Lowe’s Account which gives me Free Shipping on most items.  For items that are not eligible for Free Shipping, I just have my order shipped to my local Lowe’s, and then pick it up for Free!

In addition to getting free standard shipping with a Free My Lowe’s account, you can also make returns without a receipt!

If you don’t want to go inside your local Lowe’s store, you can also take advantage of FREE curbside pickup.  Simply follow these website instructions for how to pickup the items you’ve ordered!

My Lowes Card

Extra Bonus: My local Lowe’s just installed a convenient kiosk just inside the door where I was able to retrieve my order without even having to wait in line!  Most online orders are stored right in the front of the store, so you don’t have to wait for someone to walk to the back of the store.

Talk about an easy way to save time and skip the long return lines!

#5: Check for Open Box Appliances

Lowes Damaged Merchandised Discount

If you’re on the hunt for a deal on a refrigerator, washer, dryer, microwave, range or even a dishwasher, always check the appliance department for returned ‘Open Box’ appliances before making a purchase.  These may have some minor scratches or dents, but are a great way to save BIG on your appliance purchase!

#6: Save Money on Slightly Damaged Merchandise!

Lowes Damaged Merchandise Discount

Do you want to know another way to score some sweet deals?  Look for torn bags of top soil and fertilizer.  If these aren’t already marked down, just ask for a discount.  You can usually get these bags for deep discounts!  I recently picked up a bag and got 80% off!

#7: Always Check End Caps for Lowe’s Clearance Deals!

Lowe's Clearance Deals

You never know what you may find on clearance at Lowe’s, so be sure to check all end caps for additional bargains before you checkout.  You may have to head to the back of your store to find a clearance section, but it’s always worth a quick stop.

#8: Save Money When You Buy Carpet Remnants!

Lowes Carpet Remnants

When shopping for carpet at Lowe’s, shop the Lowe’s carpet remnants to save BIG every time.  You’ll score big discounts and pay a fraction of the price of other carpet!

#9: Score The Best Deals on Cut-to-Fit Blinds…

Lowes Cut to Fit Blinds

Skip the custom order blinds and window treatments!  You’ll get the very best deals when you buy in-stock blinds at Lowe’s.  I love how you can grab your blinds right off the shelf and have them trimmed to size while you wait.

To get your cut to fit blinds, all you’ll need are your precise window measurements from home.  To ensure the best fit for your new blinds, I recommend measuring the width of your window at both the top and the bottom.  This measurement can vary depending on how the drywall was installed in your home.

When you buy in-stock blinds you’ll not only save a lot of money, but you’ll skip the long wait for custom blinds.  Nothing beats getting what you want on your very first trip to Lowe’s!

#10: Wait Until Holiday Decor Goes Half Off… Then Save it For Next Year!

Lowe's Seasonal Clearance

Lowe's Fall Decor

Lowe's Holiday Sales

Lowe's Christmas Decor

Lowes Christmas Decor Deals

I’ve scored so many sweet deals the day after Christmas at Lowe’s!  It’s worth waking up early and heading to your local store to stock up on clearance indoor and outdoor decorations for the next year.

#11: Get Mis-Tint Paint for SUPER Cheap in the Paint Department!

Discount Paint at Lowes

When customers are ordering tinted paint, it often does not come out to the exact color they want.  Lowe’s will mark the gallon or pint down DRASTICALLY, and sell it as a mis-tint!  I’ve picked up so many gallons of paint this way and used them for different rooms and DIY projects around the house.  Be sure to swing by the paint department, and look for the discount paint at Lowe’s!

#12: Negotiate with Employees for a Discount!

Lowes Ask For Discount

If you’ve got your eye on something but would like a better price, it never hurts to ask for a discount!  I’ve had so many friends negotiate on pricing, and score some great deals on appliances, lumber, etc. just by asking for a lower price!

#13: Get a Full Refund on Your Dead Plants!

Lowes Plant Return Policy

Lowes Gardening Sales

Lowe’s offers a full 1 Year Warranty on all plants they sell.  If your plant dies in the first year, just bring it back to the store with your receipt for a full refund!

This is way better than the typical 3 months that you can get from a local nursery.  For me, it can take 6-12 months to know if a plant is going to make it.  This 1 year warranty has come in handy so many times in the past!

#14: Have Your Wood Cut for FREE!

Shiplap at Lowes

Lowes Lumber

Lowes Free Wood Cutting

If you need to buy a piece of plywood, lumber or trim, you can get it cut for free right at the store!  This is especially helpful if you can’t fit a full size sheet of plywood or a long piece of lumber into your vehicle, or if you don’t have the right kind of saw at home.  Come prepared with the dimensions you need, then ask a Lowe’s employee to cut the wood to those specific dimensions.

The large wall mounted saw is usually available at the back of the store, at the end of the lumber aisles.  Extra bonus: you’ll save time when someone else cuts your wood, and you don’t have to make cuts at home.  What an easy way to speed up your DIY and craft projects around the house!

#15: Never Buy Full Priced Tools at Lowe’s!

If you need to buy a tool that you don’t plan to use very often, it’s easy to save money when you simply skip buying your tools at Lowe’s!

We recently needed a sledge hammer to help pound some metal stakes into the ground to tie up a Pomegranate Tree and 2 Ruby Red Grapefruit Trees we were planting in our backyard.  We skipped the overpriced sledge hammer at Lowe’s and got one at Harbor Freight for half price instead.  You’ll get the best deals when you print some coupons on the Harbor Freight website before heading to the store!

#16: Save BIG When You Buy Returned & Refurbished Yard Equipment!

Lowes Refurbished Lawn Mowers

Could you use a new lawn mower, trimmer, tiller, leaf blower, pressure washer, chainsaw, or snow blower?  Chances are you can score a smokin’ deal when you shop the refurbished equipment on sale at Lowe’s.

No need to wait for a sale, just keep your eye out for this equipment on your next trip to Lowe’s.  At my local Lowe’s, they usually have 3-6 refurbished pieces of yard equipment available on any given day, including refurbished lawn mowers for a fraction of the cost of new!

#17: Shop the Major Holiday Sales to Save on Small and Large Appliances!

Lowes Appliance Clearance

Lowes Appliances Sale

Need a new appliance?  Look for major holiday sales to shop for the best deals on Appliances at Lowe’s!  Check Lowe’s around Black Friday, President’s Day, Spring Black Friday, Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day for the lowest prices on appliances.

Don’t miss out, be sure to also check out the current Lowe’s Appliances deals right now!

When shopping for appliances at Lowe’s, take a minute to compare prices on the same item at Home Depot, and Best Buy, and Sam’s Club, and JCPenney to make sure you’re getting the best deal!

#18: Then Ask for FREE Shipping and Installation of Appliances!

Lowes Appliance Sales

You can usually score free shipping and delivery for appliances when you spend a minimum amount.  It’s important to ask to make sure you can get both free delivery and installation!  Free installation is usually included with free delivery for refrigerators, washers and dryers.

But you’ll need to specifically ask to get deals for free installation on dishwashers and wall mounted microwave ovens.  It is definitely worth asking to get free installation, as I have had success getting free installation on a dishwasher when free installation wasn’t even advertised.

Why spend half a Saturday installing a dishwasher when someone else can do it in 20 minutes for free!

Just make sure you have the required installation hoses and cords that may not come with your appliances.  These must be purchased separately and you’ll need to have these available for the installers when they arrive at your house.

#19: Take Advantage of Sales and Stock Up!

Lowes Free Shipping

Wait to buy items you need until they go on sale!  Before planning a trip to the store, be sure to check the current Lowe’s Ad to see if the items you want are on sale.  Then… stock up at the sales to get the biggest savings benefit!

#20: Never Pay Full Price For Organization Supplies!

Did you know that Lowe’s regularly puts storage bins, storage racks, cabinets, and other organization supplies on sale throughout the year?  

So just wait for a sale and you’ll never need to pay full price!

#21: Use The Lowe’s Price Match Policy To Save Even More!

Did you know that Lowe’s will price match competitors?  This includes obvious stores like the Home Depot, but it also includes items sold directly by Amazon! {but not 3rd party sellers on Amazon}

For all the details, be sure to read the Lowe’s Price Match Guarantee Policy before you head to the store!!

#22: Shop The Black Friday Sale for HUGE Discounts!

Lowes Black Friday Sale

I’ve scored so many great Lowe’s Black Friday Deals over the years!  Go check out the hottest deals + get sneak peeks at this year’s Black Friday Ads!

#23: All Active Military + Veterans Get 10% off Everyday!

Lowes Veterans Discount

Lowes Military Discount

If you’re currently in the military or are a veteran, be sure to take advantage of the Lowe’s Military Discount!  Go sign up here.

#24: Get Cash Back Every Time You Shop + Get a Free $10 Bonus!

ALWAYS Shop through Rakuten when Shopping Online at Lowes.com – you’ll get cash back on every order!

This is an easy way to save money every time you shop!
