Lowe's Coupons & Sales for May 2013

Lowe's discounts a selection of items during its Memorial Day Sale, with prices starting at $2.50. It's essentially tied with last week's Pre-Memorial Day sale and among the best sales we've seen from Lowe's in recent months, yielding several current price lows. (We saw a similar sale four days ago.) Shipping starts around $6, or spend $49 or more to qualify for free shipping. (Free in-store pickup is also available on select items; oversized items may carry a surcharge.) Note that for some items, prices and stock may vary by ZIP code. Deal ends May 27.

A best bet is the the Grill Master 4-Burner Stainless Steel Gas Grill (pictured), model no. 720-0697, for $169. Select free in-store pickup to avoid the $65 delivery cost. That's tied with our mention from a week ago as one of the least expensive 4-burner gas grills we've seen, although it was $20 less just over year ago. This 48,000-BTU gas grill features a 667-square-inch cooking surface, plus a stainless steel lid and burners.

Lowe's offers the Heartland Stratford 12-Foot x 8-Foot Saltbox Engineered Wood Storage Shed, model no. 182938, for $858 with in-store pickup. (Lowe's truck delivery is also available for $79.) That's $536 under the lowest price we could find for a similar shed elsewhere. It features 96 square feet of storage space, 64" double doors, two 8-foot shelves, pegboard, and 8-foot workbench. Deal ends June 3.

Lowe's offers Fulton 4" x 8" Red Charcoal Holland Patio Stones for 33 cents each. Choose in-store pickup to avoid the $79 truck delivery fee. They're each 21 cents off and at least 11 cents (per unit) under the lowest total price we could find for similar stones elsewhere. Deal ends May 27.

Lowe's cuts 10% to 40% off select major appliances of $399 or more. (The banner advertises 10% off, but there are greater savings in this sale; the discounted prices are shown in cart.) Even better, all items receive free shipping. That's the best deal we've seen on these items from Lowe's. (We saw 10% to 25% off with no free shipping last fall.) Sale ends May 28. Some best bets:

• Roper 6.5-Cu. Ft. Electric Dryer in White for $314
• LG 3.6-Cu. Ft. High-Efficiency Front-Load Washer in White for $728.10
• LG 7.3-Cu. Ft. Electric Dryer in White for $728.10
• Frigidaire 26-Cu. Ft. Side-by-Side Refrigerator in Black (pictured) for $809.10
