Jacuzzi Primo showerhead / hand shower combo marked down 70% to $18. Reviews are low but it seems the installers were the problem. In 5 minutes I was able to replace the old hand shower with the new Jacuzzi hand shower+ hose hand-tightened with no leaks onto the old mount. Everyone loves the water output. Saving the fixed showerhead for another project.

OK, maybe this has been brought up before (sorry!)
But what's the deal with the yellow tags marked "new lower price" vs "clearance". I think the "new lower price" tags are a newish development, whereas previously there was only "clearance" tags?
It seems like the "new lower price" tags are meant to show permanent price drops on various items, whereas "clearance" tags are meant to show, well, clearance pricing for discontinued products.
The fact that both types of tags are nearly-identical looking (yellow) makes it seem like certain items (like the porter-cable item posted above) are a special deal when in fact it is the current regular price. It also makes it harder to identify actual clearance items in the store.
Anyone have any insight on this?

It probably is meant to confuse people thinking it's clearance or even just on sale...
Lowes is kind of weird like that. I've seen stuff labeled new lower price with no date. But I've also seen new lower price + was *** save 15% thru 03/1/2017.... So who really knows... It's all just marketing gimmicks...

I bought a set of both the metric and SAE last week. COO is China. At this price, they are cheaper then Harbor Freight and if they break I'll see how good the Lowe's warranty works.Kobalt metric ratcheting wrench 5-piece set $9.99 still going on from 2016. SAE available. 10-12-13-14-15

sometimes the price drops are permanent or semi-permanent. usually they are seasonal, or for a set time but they don't print the date on the sticker if it's longer than a month.
prime example the porter cable drill press & bandsaw. they just went back up from their 'new lower price' that I think started in november. since it wasn't in the sales ad, wasn't really actively advertised as a sale, just lower price during the holidays, the stickers had no date and the price drop although temporary was considered in their system 'semi permanent' because they aren't seasonal items and lasted longer than the sale paper.
you sometimes see the big green signs (typically % off something) like now there is 10% off 12/2 and 10/2 250 ft rolls. not advertised but not changed on the sticker either. this will eventually replace all the 'semi permanent' new lower price so there's less sticker changes, but for now it's kind of an awkward system for them also.
For certain Lowes stores, any purchase 1/12 to 1/18 gets you a coupon for $10 off a $50 purchase. Coupon will be good 1/19 to 1/30. Both transactions must be at the same store and not all stores qualify. Of course, other fine print details and exclusions apply.

And their primary 7-Piece Ratcheting Set (sold throughout the year) is still Made in Taiwan. I don't know if it is an indicator that they will be switching suppliers soon. Good thing Kobalt has a lifetime warranty and ratcheting mechanisms on wrenches are always prone to failure especially when it boils down to price.
If you look on the tags, if the item is a legit clearance blowout there will be a small "n" underneath the model / sku / etc. N means non-stock which it will not be replaced.
Here's an example of an item I just purchased with the "new lower price" sticker:
DEWALT 12-in 15-Amp Single Bevel Compound Miter Saw
$219 - was $299 - save 26%
So is it a good deal, or just a "new, regular price"?
The price at HD is $279. Amazon is also $219 (is Amazon matching Lowes, or the other way around?)

Skydrop smart irrigation controller $99 is the new price. They must have a new unit coming out. However, this unit is fantastic and looks very sharp.

Torin 1/2" socket strip, 585348, is $1.80 at my local Lowes. Various stores around have different clearance prices, but original price was $15 or so.
Thanks. Going to check out my local Lowe's see if I can find some of those. Need some of those.

Wow, never had them steal my items. My 2 Lowes, rarely have the items clearance priced though. Had a few managers get pretty ****** with me when I asked them if
I could have the clearance price.
I did get lucky once, and got the Biesemeyer fence for $80.00!!
30" rail I think it was/is. (Got it on my 1947 Uni)
and another time got the delta mobile base for $10.00.

Wow. Way cheaper than my store.
I came here to post the Torin rails.
3/8" for $10.79
1/2" for $7.19
Regardless a good price and I bought all they had.
I would be willing to trade a 3/8" for a 1/4" if someone has an extra.

Hmm, maybe I should not be complaining about $2.80 at a farther store ;-)
Edit: they cancelled the order, they "can't find" the 12 they had in stock at $2.80. Here we go again....

Yeah, those PC compressors usually hover around the $99 mark, even at HD...
During holiday sales they will usually bundle them with a finishing nailer and something else (don't remember).

My store showed 1 in stock, I ordered it and got a call 5 minutes later stating they had just sold it and it was out of stock. Anytime I order a clearance item from that store it gets cancelled. I'm sure an employee got it.

Well I'm not surprised. They couldn't find my 4 3/8" socket holders either, but they found the more "expensive" ones they said.
