Picked up my order, nice light that will work where I need it but dear Lord they need to fire whoever packaged this thing. Impossible to force the 6 AA batteries into the battery compartment so in frustration I checked the reviews and sure enough, saw that I wasn’t the only one. Turned out two screws in a small plastic bag are included, and some Einstein decided a good place to put them would be in an inaccessible, unseen area at the very bottom of the long battery compartment where they were stuck. (Same thing happened with the second one I opened…they were stuck at the bottom even before I tried to put in the batteries.) Had to use a tiny Phillips head screwdriver to remove 5 screws on the back of the flashlight. Still couldn’t completely remove the back, but loosened it enough that with the help of a pair of eyebrow tweezers, a toothpick and some choice words was finally able to reach the bag and pull it out. A mere 20 minutes later, batteries installed!

RE: Lowe's: Energizer LED Swivel Light Bar $3.05 (Save 83%) YMMV
Thanks so much OP. These look like just what I need; ordered a bunch for local pickup. Tired of trying to carry a flashlight while crawling around in our dark attic or walking into our unlit detached garage or garden sheds wondering what new little “friend” has moved in and might fly, scurry or slither by in the near-dark.

If anyone’s near the booming metropolis of Oneonta, NY (zip code 13820), their Lowes is showing 35 in stock @ $1.59.

RE: Roomba by iRobot 680 Robot Vacuum $74 or Roomba iRobot 801 Robot Vacuum with Manufacturer's Warranty $109 @ Walmart B&M - YMMV
Went on a wild goose chase to a store that showed 2 of each in stock. None to be found.
Employee working in that department mentioned someone had already called this morning to see if they had them, plus before I left I overheard another customer asking about them. The deal must be fairly well known. Oh well, at those prices it was worth a try. Thanks anyway OP.

RE: Coleman 70-Quart Xtreme Marine Cooler w/ 2-Pack 30oz Ozark Trail Vacuum Insulated Double Wall Stainless Steel Tumblers $37.46 + FS @ Walmart
I bought this same bundle at Walmart last year; well worth it. Used the cooler at our ungodly hot 4th of July party last week, and it’s so well insulated that with only a few blocks of “blue ice” the drinks were still cold 24 hours later (and the “ice” was still mostly frozen). Strong enough to double as extra seating too. As for the tumblers, they keep drinks cold just as long as my husband’s much more expensive Yeti; I know because out of curiosity we tested them to see how long it would take the same amount of ice to melt, and the difference was negligible.

RE: Himalayan Salt Night Light - $4.08 + free shipping w/ Prime or $25+ orders
Under the heading “I don’t really need these but the price was right”, I ordered two of the cylindrical, which appears to be the only style available. When I first clicked on the link, another more natural-looking rock-shape that I would have preferred was also shown, but now that one doesn’t seem to be available. Total with the coupon code came to $8.16. Thanks OP.

I made two in-store purchases at two different Lowe’s this week and at the bottom of both receipts is a coupon offering “$5 off your next in-store purchase of $25, valid 5/17 - 5/20”. Needs to be used at the same store where the coupon was issued. I was told the offer will still print on receipts through today; not sure if will end then. Can’t be combined with any other coupons or discounts, but you can still save even more by paying with a Lowes gift card from this week’s Dollar General deal.
TY. How much did you spend on each receipt? I’m wondering if there is a minimum spend required to get the $5 off $25 offer. It would be great if you could buy a $1 item to get the $5 off $25 receipt offer then using it with your 15% off Dollar General GC since, at 20% off, that would be better than stacking with a 10% off coupon.
One purchase was $24.26 before tax, the other $28.80.
Also, I just returned from another trip to Dollar General to buy another gift card, and noticed two things. Their gift card selection was different from those in the ad above, and their sign listed the qualifying 15% off cards as Gap, Old Navy, Kohl’s (I think), and a few others. No mention of Lowe’s, but the 15% automatically came off the Lowe’s cards I bought. Also I didn’t pay with cash, I used the MasterCard tied to my checking account and there was no problem with that. -
