Holy smokes ya’ll guess where I will be tonight at 9pm PST? Facebook of course!!
Lowe’s posted today that they will be offering (5,000) 90% off coupon codes to buy a product first come first serve. I think they will have a list of products that you can choose to buy- I don’t think it is just anything on the site.
This is starting at 12.01am EST or 9.01pm PST tonight (or technically tomorrow is you live on the East Coast). They will also have (20,000) 20% off coupons to use!
There are currently 72,000 people confirmed to attend the event but we can all hope! I posted a promotion over Father’s Day with something like 48 available from Lowe’s and I was very surprised that several readers actually got the deals.
So I will remind you tonight to keep an eye out and be sure to let me know if you win!
Amy says
So, if it’s 12:01 am on Friday, isn’t that tonight then? Obviously, it would be 9 here, but it would definitely be Friday on the east coast. What do you think? Either way, I’ll be there!
Amy says
so if the promotion begins at 12:01am on Friday the 5th, wouldn’t that mean it begins at 9:01pm on Thursday (today)????? Or is this going to be two separate promotions for east and west coasts?
Thanks for the clarification, I don’t want to miss it! 🙂
Charlene says
No what did I say? Was that confusing? It is tonight for me and wherever you live maybe tomorrow 🙂
Charlene says
Ok well the time zones get me all mixed up. So we shall see what happens tonight 😛
Amy says
How funny….that was 2 different Amy’s posting at the same time!!!
Rachel says
So mountain time would be 10 pm. 😉
Charlene says
Ok we will believe you Rachel. 2 time zones is all I can manage.
@Amy- my readers are always the cleverest. I will post something from another blog and someone will catch it in a second- whereas that person may have had some mess post up for who knows how long w/o a word.
Kate says
This looks like it could be a great opportunity if you have REALLY fast internet. Once the codes are released you have to be one of the first to actually completely check-out in order to get the discount. See the Lowe’s fine print: “The codes are entered into the promotion code field on the Lowes.com checkout page, and validated when the purchase is completed, and not when it is applied. You might enter the code on the checkout page, see that the code has been applied, and still not check out in time to take advantage of the code. If the code is exhausted, you will be informed of that, and have the option not to buy the product.” I still think it’s worth a try, but we’ll have to be prepared!
Irene says
darnit! that’s midnight for me! I don’t think I can get myself out of a deep sleep for this…but maybe I’ll try!
Kina says
Hmm…is there anything special we need to do or just be one of the first 5,000 to show up???
Charlene says
Yes I heard Check4Change is good to help with these fast things? I haven’t downloaded it but I have roboform or whatever already on my computer so that fills everything out fast. I will have to see if you can create an account and have all your stuff already saved in there.
Kristine says
Man I am hoping to get the Kitchenaid mixer! I have wanted one for a LONG time!
Rachel C. says
I agree with Kate..if you read the fine print, they are releasing one product code at a time through the weekend. And on 20 different products. here’s hoping for some tools for hubby for Christmas!!
■The 90% off coupons will be released on Facebook beginning at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time, Friday, 11/5 and throughout the weekend. (We may run a test post of a pre-party product before then.)
■Each code is good for a limited supply of one product. We have about 20 products, each with its own code, and we will release the codes one product at a time.
■Each code is immediately applicable to a product on Lowes.com, on a first-come, first-served basis.
jean says
Okay so I’m not understanding how this works. You get the code off the facebook page and then order the item from Lowes.com?
Charlene says
Jean- you go to Lowe’s Facebook page at the appointed time. You wait for them to announce what is 90% off. If you want something you hurry up and buy it. If you are one of the first 5,000 you get the item for 90% off. If you are not you might get it for 20% off. So it might be great or a total waste of time but the nice thing is the whole thing will be over in minutes so worth checking if you are awake at that hour. That is my understanding.
Nicole Alicea says
I have been super excited for this, I have my computer clock set to eastern time so I don’t get the time mixed up, I really really want that mixer, I have been wanting one forever!!! Good luck everyone 🙂
Kristine says
Charlene, the first item tonight is the Kitchenaid mixer and only the first 100 get the 90 percent off it said on the lowes fb site, then another 900 or so get 20% off, I imagine this will be virtually impossible, but I am going to give it a brief try anyway…

here is the direct link to the kitchenaid picture and the description below states the deal…
Kim says
Had the mixer in my cart, ready for the code, entered in the code, price went to $19! then clicked on checkout and it crashes….so close yet no CIGAR!
Charlene says
I thought it wasn’t that well run of a promo 🙁 We were all set too and then bah. The site locked for me. It must have been 2 minutes after I clicked continue.
kt jean says
I was super excited and as soon as the code posted i jumped on the site and added the mixer to my cart, but it DIDN’T ADD! and by the time I hit back and tried to add it again.. it was too late.. oh well. At least I was already up!
Kristine Twardy-Todd says
We were set up too, had the discount and crashed at checkout, poor management on Lowes behalf that they didn’t have enough bandwidth to support this, it was pretty clear there was going to be a lot of people accessing it at the same time. So not worth being up at Midnight.
Nicole Alicea says
Crashed on me as well. 🙁 100 though?? Seriously, as soon as I read that I knew I didn’t have a chance, they had thousands trying so only giving 100 isn’t very fair. But oh well, there will be plenty more deals to score this season 🙂
jill says
I already had the item in my cart, put in the promo code and it worked… but Lowe’s site also randomly added 2 other mixers to my cart at full price!? Ha! I wasn’t willing to risk spending $400 to get one mixer for $18! 🙂
Jenny says
are they ever going to post the other 24,000 coupon codes? they only released 1000 last night for the stand mixer…. I understand not wanting to release all at once but for the BIG “party” why wouldn’t you release a few more than they did!
Kina says
ITA w/Kristine. This was bound to happen 🙁
Charlene says
Jenny- they released more information as the evening progressed if you just looked at the Facebook page. It turned out to be a little misleading- they actually have (100) 90% off codes for each of 20 items to total 5,000. That was not the way it initially appeared. They will be releasing a new item with the code at a designated time but I probably won’t post this again. It was not at all what it seemed to be and to have 83,000 people RSVP for 100 codes seems a little crazy. They did offer the 20% off but I don’t have any idea how many they actually released.
Deborah says
They are posting 20 items throughout the weekend. Each item will have a chance at the big discount and consolation lessor discounts. The item will have a link attached to it that you put your email in and cross your fingers that you typed faster than everyone else. Could have used the mixer. I hope the next item is something i need and i can type fast.
Charlene says
Yeah thanks Deborah I got that from someone else too this morning. I will just put a quick message up for those that want to follow it all.
nicki says
i saw this advertised here first, and I just want to thank you for originally posting it. Our home burnt down 2 years ago and we had to rebuild, i scored the 90% off the faucet (came to 8 bucks!!!) and the 90% off the keurig coffee maker!!!! Im running to Lowes first thing in the morning to pick them up!! Its sort of like early Christmas for me, so thanks again!!! I never would have know about it if it wasnt for your site!!♥
Charlene says
Oohh Nicki I am so happy for you! That Keurig you will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. What a great gift. Now just wait for my posts on cheap K Cups from Amazon because they come up all the time.
nicki says
Awesome!! I was getting worried when i started pricing them lol, I should have known you would have a way to make them cheaper!!♥
