A Guide to Shopping at Lowes Foods

The first thing to keep in mind while shopping at Lowes Foods is that prices vary from store to store. I use my local Hickory, NC ad for prices and matchups. I post the coupon match up list on Tuesday evenings.

To get the sale prices and double coupons, you must sign up for a Fresh Rewards card. You can do that online or in any store.  While you are signing up for that card, you will want to become an Instasave customer too.  Instasave has online coupon offers that you can load onto your card.
