When Is the Next Lowe's Sale? Is Lowe's Black Friday 2026 Worth It?

Published: 8 October 2026 · Author: Ziling Liu, Personal Finance Editor, ShopBack US

In the US, the next big Lowe's sale is Black Friday 2026: Lowe's says its Black Friday deals start October 29, four weeks before Black Friday on Friday, November 27. Then come 12 Days of Deals from November 16, Lowe's biggest savings in Thanksgiving week, extended Cyber Deals and December Deal Drops from December 3 to 24, according to Lowe's October 8, 2026 announcement. Waiting is usually worth it for planned appliance, tool and outdoor power equipment buys, and usually not for urgent repairs.

When is the next Lowe's sale, and is Black Friday worth waiting for?

The next Lowe's sale is its four-week Black Friday event, which Lowe's says starts October 29, 2026; waiting for it usually pays off on big planned purchases and usually does not on urgent or everyday ones. Lowe's announced the full holiday plan on October 8, 2026. Here is the calendar, from Lowe's own announcement:

Date (2026)	Lowe's event	What Lowe's says it covers
From October 29	Four weeks of Black Friday deals	Tools, holiday decor, appliances, outdoor power equipment and more; "Gifts Under" picks and free products with select tool purchases
From November 16	12 Days of Deals	New savings each day leading up to Black Friday (expanded from 10 Days of Deals)
November 26 (Thanksgiving)	Stores closed	Online-only deals continue on Lowes.com; MyLowe's Rewards members get early online access to Doorbusters
Thanksgiving week	Biggest Black Friday savings	Appliances, tools, holiday decor, outdoor power equipment and home improvement essentials
November 27 (Black Friday)	Doorbusters open to everyone	Limited-time offers on select appliances, power tools, pre-lit trees, flooring, cabinets, ladders and paint
After Black Friday	Extended Cyber Deals	Online deals around Cyber Monday, November 30
December 3 to 24	December Deal Drops	Gifts and holiday essentials through Christmas Eve

Lowe's is one of the biggest home improvement retailers in the country, with fiscal 2025 sales of more than $86 billion and over 1,750 stores, according to the company, so its Black Friday ad covers almost every category in the store.

Lowe's Black Friday: is waiting worth it for what you need?

Lowe's Black Friday is usually worth waiting for if the item is in a category Lowe's names for Thanksgiving week and you can hold off a few weeks. It is usually not worth waiting if the thing you need has stopped working, or if it is something Lowe's rarely discounts.

Usually worth waiting for:

• Major appliances you are planning to replace. Lowe's names select major appliances in both its Thanksgiving week savings and its Doorbusters.
• Power tools and tool sets. Lowe's names DEWALT, Kobalt and CRAFTSMAN among the brands in its Doorbuster savings.
• Outdoor power equipment. Listed among the Thanksgiving week categories.
• Holiday decor and pre-lit artificial trees. Lowe's lists select pre-lit trees and Holiday Living lights and garlands in its Doorbuster savings.

Usually not worth waiting for:

• A broken fridge, water heater or furnace. The cost of going without usually outweighs a sale price a few weeks away.
• Lumber and everyday project supplies. These are rarely the headline of a sale, and lumber is excluded on ShopBack's Lowe's page.
• Anything already discounted in the early weeks. If a deal you want is live from October 29 and the price is good, waiting for Thanksgiving week is a gamble on stock.

Lowe's official sale offers: what to use and how

Lowe's official offers come from three places: its sale events on Lowes.com and in the Lowe's app, MyLowe's Rewards member deals, and its own promotions on select items. These are the offers to rely on, because they come from Lowe's directly.

• Sale events. Black Friday, 12 Days of Deals, Cyber Deals and December Deal Drops, as listed above.
• MyLowe's Rewards. The programme is free to join, and Lowe's said in March 2026 it had more than 30 million members. Sign in before you shop so member pricing and early access show up.
• Free product offers. For Black Friday, Lowe's lists free products with select purchases from top tool brands.
• Price match. Lowe's has a price-match policy; read the current terms on Lowes.com before you ask for one, since conditions apply.

Other home improvement and household stores on ShopBack US include The Home Depot, Ace Hardware, Walmart and Target, so you can compare a Black Friday price across stores before you buy.

Lowe's cashback in 2026: how cashback sites work with Lowe's

Several cashback sites and apps list Lowe's in the US, and the rules that decide whether you get the cash back tend to follow the same pattern: start from the site, keep the purchase eligible, and avoid outside codes. Here is how it works on ShopBack US, based on ShopBack's Lowe's page at the time of writing:

• What is excluded: lumber, gift card and voucher purchases, gift card redemptions, purchases made with codes not featured on ShopBack, and fees, taxes, service charges, shipping and delivery.
• Returns: rejected, cancelled, refunded, exchanged or returned purchases are not eligible.
• Timing: purchases are usually tracked within about 2 days and confirmed within about 90 days.

Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.

Going through ShopBack is an essential step before you check out at Lowe's, the same way it is before you book on Booking.com, Trip.com, Agoda or Expedia: you pay less on the same order.

Lowe's Black Friday 2026 deals: how to get the lowest price

To get the lowest price on a Lowe's Black Friday deal, sign in to MyLowe's Rewards, check the deal against other stores, and start from ShopBack's Lowe's page before you check out. In order:

1. Make a list now. Note the appliances, tools or decor you plan to buy and today's price, so you can tell a real Black Friday drop from a normal price.
2. Join MyLowe's Rewards and sign in. It is free, and members get early online access to Doorbusters.
3. Watch October 29, November 16 and Thanksgiving week. Those are the three points where Lowe's says new deals land.
4. Compare the total. For appliances, include delivery, haul away and installation; for big items, check same-day delivery terms.
5. Go through ShopBack before you check out. Open ShopBack's Lowe's page, check the live rate and exclusions, tap through and pay on Lowes.com in the same session.

Before you check out, go through ShopBack to get a post-purchase discount on the order. Here is an illustrative example: on a $1,200 refrigerator at an illustrative 2%, $24 comes back, so the effective price is $1,176. That rate is only an example; check the live rate on ShopBack's Lowe's page, since rates change and some categories are excluded.
