Lowes Foods basic coupon policy: they will double coupons whose face value is .99 and under. They will honor competitor's coupons but I have had trouble with the Lowes on the corner of Piedmont Pkwy and Guilford College staying true to this new policy. You need their greencard to get the sale prices. Occassionally- several times a year- they will have their triples and will triple mfg coupons. When I catch wind of a triple, I will try to warn you because the more organized you are, the more you can get for your money. They will accept IP (internet printables) and it depends on the cashier as to how many. Their formal policy is 2 per order but I have had cashiers who let me use more than 5 in one order. Their BOGO (buy one get one free) will ring up half price and they will let you use a coupon for each item in the BOGO deal. They changed their policy within the last six months-they used to have minimums before coupons would double. They are slowly becoming my favorite store because they are becoming more coupon friendly than Harris Teeter.

Deals:
#1: Use the Food Lion 2.00 off 5.00 coupon in produce when you buy your asparagus, bag salad, bananas. You can also use the Target coupon (also found on www.afullcup.com) for .50 off 2 lbs of bananas. You might even be able to get free bananas if you use the Target coupon for the ripe bagged bananas.
#2: Be on the lookout for "Manager's Specials" in the meat section. I was at the Lowes on Old Oak Ridge Rd and they had like 100 package of those tiny cocktail smokies on sale for 1.00 a package. The regular price was 3.99. I got two packs and tossed them into the freezer for later use.
#3: There is a catalina (the red coupon that prints at the register) deal. Green Giant is the product that is triggering the catalina coupon. When you purchase 3 boxed Green Giant frozen vegetables, you will get a coupon for 1.00 OYNO (off your next order). If you buy 4, you get a $2.00 OYNO. If you buy 5, you get a $3.00 OYNO. These are great deal makers. Purchase the vegs with mfg coupons and then a double play is saving on your next order. You CAN immediately use on a second order than has another round of boxed vegs and you will generate another catalina coupon. This is called a chain. I will do this as long as I have mfg coupons for the vegs. The best scenario was to have gotten a raincheck for the vegs 2 weeks ago when they were on sale 10 for $10 but who knew that this was coming. This deal is good until 2/24.
#4: Another catalina deal: Kraft salad dressing. Again, buy 3 bottles in one transaction and get a catalina coupon for 1.00 OYNO. Buy 4, get a $2.00 coupon. Buy 5, and get $3.00 coupon. I know there are some mfg Kraft coupons out there but you have to decide if the deal is good for you.
#5: Buy 4 boxes of any General Mills cereals and you get an instant free gallon of milk. To maximize the deal, I would buy 2 boxes of Trix that are on sale for 2/5. I would use 2 IP coupons for .55/1, so each box would end up costing 1.40 each. I got the Trix coupons from www.coupons.com. I would then buy 2 boxes of any of the other GM cereals that were on sale 2/5 and use a .75/2 coupon, making them 1.75 a box. So final cost would be 6.30 for 4 boxes of cereal and one gallon of milk. Pretty good.
#6: There is a green TMF hangtag on specially marked bottles of Heinz 57 w/Lea & Perrins. This hangtag is what you fill out and send in and they will send you a full refund. To make the deal sweeter, use a mfg coupon when you initially buy the bottle and you will end up making money off the deal! I cannot find a mfg for this but I am sure there is one from the past couple of months- I don't eat this stuff so I am sure I just tossed it.
#7: I spotted more of the tobasco sauces with the free coupons on them.
#8: Remember that Lowes accepts competitor's coupons, including their IP ones (MINUS the Lowes at Piedmont Pkwy) and that you can use the 2.00 off 5.00 Produce and Bakery coupons from Food Lion.
