new lowes foods grand opening wednesday january 20th
mooresville town square
125 center square drive
mooresville

so, did you get the $10 off/$50 coupon from lowes foods in the mail?
I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND YOU THAT THESE COUPONS CAN BE USED AT HARRIS TEETER!

i went to lowes to check out a few things.
first, if you have the old lowes reward card, you have to upgrade to the lowes "fresh rewards" card. you can do that in the store at the front, or online.
they have a lot of complicated programs in place, i really don't know if it's worth all the work!

they have instasave. these are offers you see online and load to your card. at the bottom of the page, it states that these cannot be combined with paper coupons.

next, they have fresh rewards.
this is where you earn cash back on future orders for buying certain things.

also, in the store they have a flyer that has some "3 week coupons".
apparently they scan those and you get a special price. i picked one up. nothing too great.

they DO double coupons everyday.
they DO have an online shopping service, so you can check prices.

they have a pretty strict coupon policy.

Coupon Policy

We recognize that our customers are looking for more ways to save their hard-earned dollars and using coupons is one of the best ways to save additional money. To allow all of our customers to enjoy these additional savings, our prevailing guideline is that Lowes Foods reserves the right to limit quantities in coupon usage and product purchases.

Lowes Foods welcomes legitimate manufacturer coupons when the following requirements are met:

• Coupons must be in date.
• Coupons must match the item(s) purchased.
• Coupons must be presented at the time of purchase.
• To ensure product availability for all customers, we limit redemption to 4 coupons for 4 of the same item. For example, if you have five coupons for a specific cereal and have purchased five of the item, we will honor the coupon for up to four of the boxes of cereal.
• All sales taxes are paid by the customer at the full retail value of the item.
• Coupon value cannot exceed our retail price of the item; no cash back will be awarded.

Double Coupons

• We will double up to 20 manufacturer coupons with a face value of $0.99 or less every day.

• Any manufacturer coupon that states -Do not double- will not be doubled.
• A doubled coupon will not be honored if the doubled amount exceeds the retail or sale price of the coupon item. No cash back will be awarded.

Other Coupon Promotions

• From time to time, our manufacturer coupon promotions will be enhanced. For example, we may offer our customers the opportunity to triple their coupons. Special promotional opportunities will be featured in our circular or on-line.

• Coupons have unique serial numbers printed on them and follow industry-standard format. Any presented coupon that does not follow standard format will not be accepted.
• Internet coupon limits are the same as manufacturer and store coupons.

Store Coupons
