Lowe's

Lowe's is one of the two largest US home improvement retailers, with more than 1,700 stores across the country. The catalog covers major and small appliances, tools and hardware, building supplies and lumber, plumbing and electrical, lawn and garden, paint, flooring, kitchen and bath, lighting, outdoor living, and home decor. Lowes.com serves US shoppers, with delivery, curbside pickup, and in-home installation available on eligible orders.

Lowe's typically issues its own promo codes around headline sale events (SpringFest in March and April, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas and New Year, President's Day) and periodic email or app offers. No code needed: go through ShopBack before you pay and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback.

SpringFest is Lowe's headline lawn and garden window, typically running across March and April. It is the strongest annual window for live plants, mulch and soil, patio furniture pre-season pricing, grills, outdoor power equipment (mowers, string trimmers, blowers, pressure washers), and Weber and Char-Broil grill lines. Kobalt outdoor tools and CRAFTSMAN mowers usually feature. Activate ShopBack US before clicking through to earn Cashback on eligible orders.

Lowe's Memorial Day sale typically runs across the last week of May and covers major appliances (kitchen and laundry), grills, patio furniture, outdoor power equipment, and paint. It is one of the biggest appliance windows of the year alongside Labor Day and Black Friday, with bundle pricing on kitchen suites (refrigerator plus range plus dishwasher plus microwave) and laundry pairs. Route through ShopBack US before you pay on lowes.com.

Lowe's Fourth of July sale typically runs the last week of June through July 4. Strongest categories are grills, patio furniture markdowns after Memorial Day, appliances, and outdoor decor. It is a reliable second appliance window and often the deeper cut on patio furniture ahead of Labor Day clearance. Activate ShopBack US before checkout to earn Cashback on eligible orders.

Lowe's Labor Day sale typically runs the week leading into the first Monday of September. Strongest categories are major appliances, patio furniture end-of-season clearance, grills, and outdoor power equipment ahead of fall. It is a reliable second appliance window for shoppers who miss Memorial Day, and the deepest patio furniture clearance window of the calendar. Route through ShopBack US before clicking through fresh.

Lowe's Black Friday sale typically kicks off in early November and extends through Cyber Monday and Cyber Week. It is the deepest annual window for smart home devices, power tool combo kits (Kobalt, CRAFTSMAN, DEWALT, Bosch, Metabo HPT), major appliances, holiday decor, and pre-lit artificial trees. Doorbusters rotate through the window. Open Lowe's from its page on ShopBack before you pay and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback. For a deeper look, see Shopping Black Friday 2026.

For major appliances (Samsung, LG, GE, Whirlpool, Maytag, Bosch, KitchenAid, Frigidaire), Lowe's strongest windows are typically Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Black Friday, and President's Day (February). Kitchen suite bundles usually deliver deeper per-unit pricing than piecemeal purchases, and washer plus dryer pairs commonly ship with bundle discounts. Free delivery on qualifying orders and haul-away of the old unit are common bundled offers. Route through ShopBack US before checkout to earn Cashback on eligible orders.

For power tools and combo kits, Lowe's cheapest windows are typically SpringFest, Father's Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. Kobalt (Lowe's exclusive cordless platform) and CRAFTSMAN retail exclusives usually carry Lowe's-only bundle pricing that undercuts Home Depot on the same category. DEWALT, Bosch, and Metabo HPT combo kits typically hit their strongest bundle pricing during Black Friday. Activate ShopBack US before clicking through to lowes.com.

Lowe's patio furniture pricing cycle is predictable: pre-season previews in late February and March during SpringFest, peak selection from April, first markdowns around Memorial Day, deeper cuts through Fourth of July, and end-of-season clearance from Labor Day through September on remaining stock. allen + roth is Lowe's exclusive patio and outdoor decor label and typically carries the sharpest bundle pricing on dining and conversation sets. Route through ShopBack before you pay and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback.

Lowe's dominates the lawn and garden calendar around SpringFest (March and April), when live plants, mulch, soil, fertilizer, and outdoor power equipment hit peak selection at their strongest annual pricing. Fall clearance in September and October picks up markdowns on mowers, string trimmers, and remaining outdoor stock ahead of winter. Kobalt cordless outdoor tools and CRAFTSMAN mowers are the Lowe's-exclusive lines to watch across the window. Activate ShopBack US before checkout.

On mainstream appliances, tools, and building materials, Lowe's and Home Depot typically run at parity on nationally advertised sale prices, with each store's exclusives shifting the margin. Lowe's owns Kobalt, CRAFTSMAN retail exclusives, allen + roth, Style Selections, and Project Source; Home Depot owns RYOBI, Ridgid, HDX, Hampton Bay, Husky, and Home Decorators Collection. Both offer price-match on identical in-stock items subject to their published policies. Lowe's typically leads on installation service depth, MyLowe's Rewards benefits, and free design consultation on kitchen and bath. Home Depot typically leads on Pro contractor loyalty depth, breadth of tool selection, and faster nationwide fulfillment on mid-size orders. For Lowe's exclusives (Kobalt, allen + roth, CRAFTSMAN), Lowe's is typically the sharper play; for RYOBI or Hampton Bay, check Home Depot separately.

Menards is a Midwest-focused chain (roughly 350 stores across 15 states) that typically leads on headline price and rebate promotions (the 11% rebate is a recurring hook) in its regional footprint. Lowe's nationwide catalog is broader, installation services are deeper, and MyLowe's Rewards benefits are available anywhere in the country. For Midwest shoppers weighing both, Menards typically wins on sticker price on building materials and some appliances during rebate windows; Lowe's typically wins on installation, warranty depth, and cross-market delivery. On Lowe's orders, go through ShopBack before you pay and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback.

MyLowe's Rewards is Lowe's free loyalty program open to all shoppers. Members typically earn points on qualifying purchases redeemable for MyLowe's Money at checkout, get free standard shipping on eligible orders above a threshold, and receive member-only bonus point events and exclusive offers around headline sale windows (SpringFest, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Black Friday). Program terms have refreshed recently, so confirm current point earn rates, tier thresholds, and redemption values on lowes.com before signing up.

MyLowe's Pro Rewards is Lowe's free loyalty program for professional contractors, remodelers, property managers, and heavy DIY buyers. Members typically earn bonus points on qualifying spend, get access to volume pricing quotes, itemized purchase tracking for tax and job-costing, exclusive Pro-only offers on materials and tools, and priority ordering on job-lot quantities. For anyone buying materials by the pallet, paint by the five-gallon bucket, or running multiple job accounts, it is worth signing up. Verify current program benefits on lowes.com since Lowe's has refreshed the Pro rewards stack recently. MyLowe's Pro benefits and ShopBack Cashback are separate mechanics.

Lowe's offers professional installation and home services across kitchen (cabinets, countertops, backsplash), bath, flooring, window and door replacement, roofing, siding, HVAC and water heaters, gutter and gutter guards, and paint. Projects are quoted after a free in-home or virtual consultation, and Lowe's manages the licensed independent installer through the local pro network. Free design consultation on kitchen and bath is typically available in-store and online. Financing is typically available via the Lowe's Advantage Card or Project Loan program.

Lowe's offers standard parcel shipping, big-and-bulky truck delivery on major appliances and lumber, in-home delivery with haul-away on qualifying appliance orders, curbside pickup on eligible orders, and standard in-store pickup within a couple of hours. Free standard shipping thresholds and appliance delivery terms are published on lowes.com and are typically bundled into MyLowe's Rewards benefits. Route through ShopBack US before clicking through to earn Cashback on eligible orders.

Lowes.com accepts major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), PayPal, Apple Pay on eligible flows, Lowe's gift cards, and the Lowe's Advantage Card (store-branded credit with promotional financing on qualifying larger purchases). EBT is accepted at the register in-store on eligible items. Business account financing is available via the Lowe's Business Advantage program. Card benefit and ShopBack Cashback are separate mechanics.

The Lowe's Advantage Card is a store-branded credit card that typically offers a welcome discount on first orders above a threshold and access to special financing offers on qualifying larger purchases like appliances, flooring, or install projects. It is a store card and cannot be used outside Lowe's, and terms vary by promotion, so check them with Lowe's. On lowes.com, going through ShopBack before you pay is the step that brings part of what you spend back as Cashback.

ShopBack is a Cashback portal that pays Cashback on orders at partner retailers, Lowe's included. Sign in to ShopBack US, open the Lowe's page on ShopBack, and continue to lowes.com. Go through ShopBack before you pay and the Cashback tracks to your ShopBack account. On your phone, open Lowe's from the ShopBack app and finish the order there. The Lowe's page on ShopBack shows which purchases earn Cashback and the live rate.

During a Lowe's sale such as SpringFest, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day or Black Friday, the sale price is what you pay at checkout. Going through ShopBack before you pay is an essential step, and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback. Check the rate shown on ShopBack's Lowe's page before you buy. Sale terms vary by promotion, so check the details on lowes.com.

Yes. Cashback is based on what you keep: if you return or cancel part of an order, the Cashback adjusts to match. Keep the Lowe's order confirmation until the Cashback confirms in your ShopBack account.

Neither store is better across the board: Lowe's and Home Depot usually sit close on advertised prices for the same item, so the better pick depends on the brands you want and how you shop. Choose Lowe's if you build around its exclusive brands such as Kobalt, CRAFTSMAN and allen + roth, or prefer its installation services. Choose Home Depot if you are already on the RYOBI or Ridgid battery platform or need its deeper Pro contractor program. For one-off purchases, compare the same model number at both stores, then weigh delivery, installation and return terms. See our Home Depot deals guide for the full comparison, then check the Cashback rate on the ShopBack Lowe's page and activate it before you check out.

Lowe's runs its sales on a steady yearly calendar: SpringFest in March and April, then Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day, then Black Friday through Cyber Monday, and in recent years Lowe's has started its Black Friday deals several weeks before the day itself. Waiting for Black Friday makes sense for power tool combo kits, major appliances, smart home devices and holiday decor, which are its strongest categories. It rarely makes sense for lawn and garden, which peaks during SpringFest, for patio furniture, which clears after Labor Day, or for an urgent repair. Whichever sale you shop, go through ShopBack before you check out and check the live rate on this page. Read more.

Lowe's gives verified active-duty service members, veterans and their verified spouses 10% off eligible full-price purchases, with no annual cap. Eligibility covers the US Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Space Force, National Guard, NOAA and the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. You verify once through ID.me on a MyLowe's Rewards account, and spouses verify on their own account. Online, the discount applies automatically at checkout when you are signed in; in store, give the cashier your phone number and show a valid photo ID. It cannot be used on sale items or combined with other discounts, and it excludes major appliances, commodities such as lumber, plywood and electrical wire, gift cards, installation and other services.

The cheapest way is to buy in the Lowe's sale window for that category, use the one Lowe's discount you qualify for, and go through ShopBack before you check out so cash comes back on the same order. Lowe's credit cardholders get 5% off eligible purchases, verified military members and veterans get 10% off eligible full-price items, and the Lowest Price Guarantee matches a lower price on an identical in-stock item from another retailer. Lowe's says these offers cannot be combined with each other, so pick the one that cuts the most. MyLowe's Rewards is free to join and turns points into MyLowe's Money for later orders. Check the live rate on this page to see what ShopBack returns.

ShopBack US works with Lowe's: open the Lowe's page on ShopBack, click through to lowes.com and finish the order there, and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback. The cash shows as pending first and confirms after the Lowe's return window closes. Check the live rate on this page before you check out.

Lowe's gives free standard shipping on qualifying online orders, with or without a membership, when the order meets Lowe's minimum order value before taxes and fees, each item weighs under 150 pounds (70 pounds for PO box and APO/FPO addresses), and it ships to a single address in the contiguous US. Pick the free shipping option when you choose a delivery method at checkout. Free in-store pickup and curbside pickup skip delivery costs entirely, and major appliances have their own delivery, installation and haul-away terms. Go through ShopBack before you check out and check the live rate on this page.

Lowe's price matches through its Lowest Price Guarantee: if you find a current lower price on an identical in-stock item from another retailer, Lowe's will match it, counting the item price plus shipping or delivery cost. In store, show an associate the ad, website, printout or photo; for an online price, call or chat with Lowe's to have it validated. The competitor must be able to ship the item to your location, and the request must come from the person making the purchase. Exclusions include clearance, open-box, seasonal and closeout items, custom and special-order products, Buy 1 Get 1 and Buy More Save More offers, rebates, labor and installation pricing, third-party marketplace sellers, auction sites, and price differences between Lowe's stores or ZIP codes. A matched price cannot be combined with any other Lowe's offer or coupon.

Going through ShopBack is an essential step before you check out at Lowe's, so you pay less on the same order. Open the Lowe's page on ShopBack, click through to lowes.com, and complete the purchase there; ShopBack then returns cash on eligible items once the order confirms. Lowe's sale prices still apply at checkout, so the order you already planned ends up costing less. Check the live rate on this page before you check out.

Your effective price is what you pay Lowe's minus the cash ShopBack returns. The cash comes back as cash, not points or miles, so it works like a discount on the price of the order rather than a reward you have to spend at Lowe's. Returned or cancelled items reduce the cash on those items. To work out your effective price before you buy, check the live rate on this page.
