🤯 Did You Know There Are Lowe’s Outlet Stores!?!

From patio furniture to grills, Lowe’s lesser-known outlet stores can save you big especially if you’re in the market for an appliance steal!

Lowe’s Outlet stores offer 30% to 80% off on scratch-and-dent, open-box, and overstocked items from brands like Samsung, LG, and Whirlpool. The best part? Most of the discounts come from minor cosmetic imperfections that don’t affect performance. If you don’t mind a small scratch on the side of your fridge (that nobody will see anyway), you could walk away with a huge bargain.

The catch? These deals are in-store only, delivery is available but costs more than at regular Lowe’s stores. You can find a location in Huntsville, AL; Monrovia, CA; North San Bernardino, CA; Meriden, CT; Miami, FL; Orlando, FL; Morrow, GA; Chicago, IL; Avon, MA; Medford, MA; Bridgeton, MO; Greensboro, NC; Cuyahoga, OH; Akron, OH; Greenville, SC; Houston, TX; and Irving, TX.

🚨 NEW Shopping Info You NEED To Know!

📦 Amazon Haul Discounts: A few months ago, I wrote about Amazon’s new competitor to Temu. Well, right now, they are offering limited-time discounts on larger orders.

For any upcoming birthdays, Easter decor, or anything in between, this could be the perfect time to stock up. To access Amazon Haul, just click the “Haul” button in the top menu or type “Haul” into the search bar.

✈️ No More Free Bags on Southwest: If you fly Southwest often, you are well aware of their “Two bags fly free” policy.

They have just announced that any tickets purchased on or after May 28, 2025, will incur baggage fees unless you hold their A-List loyalty status or book a business class ticket.

🛒 Stackable Grocery Savings! There are two promotions running right now on Amazon that can earn you a combined $27 in discounts on grocery and home products you may already buy regularly.

The first promotion is this “Save $12 when you Buy $50 of Select Items” deal on products like tea, sparkling water, cereal and more!

The second promotion is this “Spend $50, get $15 Amazon credit” deal on household essentials like paper towels, detergent and trash bags. All you have to do is spend $50 on products in this category and enter the code “STOCKUPSAVE” upon checkout to get the credit.

It is important to note these Amazon promotions could end at any time this week, so it’s best to not to wait. Would you like to see more of these sales included in future newsletters? Reply and Let me know!

🍞 $6.99 Subway Footlongs Are Back!

If Subway’s prices have felt a little hard to justify lately, there’s a temporary break—for now. The chain has brought back its $6.99 Footlong deal, but only when you order through the Subway app or website using promo code 699FL.

There’s no word on how long this promo will last, but surprisingly, any Footlong is included. Prices may be slightly higher in CA, AK, and HI, so it’s worth checking your local store’s participation before ordering.

Pro tip: If you are going to be ordering more than one sub, try the lesser advertised code “FTL1299” as it will score you two foot longs for $12.99.
