5 Amazing Finds Hidden Away At Lowe's
Lowe's is one of the two largest home improvement giants in the U.S., combining traditional hardware store items with all the DIY materials you need, whether you're a pro or not. But, Lowe's also has unique products that bring together some of the best elements of home goods and outdoor recreation stores, making it even more of a one-stop shopping experience. According to Lowe's, they reach out to entrepreneurs and all types of businesses to find the best new products. These cool and amazing finds may seem hidden away in the retailer's many stores, but we're here to shine the spotlight on them!
One shopping tip for spotting the best prices at Lowe's is to understand their bright yellow pricing signage. According to Matt Granite, if it says "new lowest price," it's a temporary markdown price that could be further reduced, especially around holiday weekends. When the tag is marked clearance, you can count on that being the lowest price it will go. Come along for more incredible finds!
1. Appliances, fixtures and crafting tools
Did you know there are some really cool appliances sold at Lowe's? For example, a Kimchi refrigerator with temperature control technology keeps foods fresh for longer, especially foods that are fermented or cured like vegetables, meats, cheeses, and yogurts, per News Channel Nebraska. Another appliance that may catch your eye is the Ninja Foodi Air Fry Oven which crosses an extra large toaster oven with 10 times the power of a convection oven. This item will help you clear at least three other appliances off your kitchen counters! And don't forget that you can always grab ice cream makers and slush machines at Lowe's.
If you're doing a lot of traveling or camping in hot, humid weather, you may be particularly interested in the retailer's EasySpa Bidet.
