The above ad for Lowe’s for Memorial Day sale 2020 is not accurate. The sale was for $16.88 per twin pack. Home Depot and Walmart had similar “sales”. Unfortunately Kingsford seems to have taken advantage of the COVID19 situation and decided not to have their typical Memorial Day sales, which is unfortunate considering how many people were laid off, furloughed, terminated, or had their hours reduced. They missed a huge opportunity. I realize you are not Kingsford, just wanting to clarify (and vent).

Hi Robin,
This sale is over ended as of May 27th. I will be updating the prices weekly now to reflect new and better deals. Thank you for your comment.

Actually that wasn’t Kingsford. Both Home Depot and Lowes announced that they were suspending a number of major promotionals to avoid store crowding during the pandemic.
John Lauber says
COVID-19 spread prevention is pure bull manure. Suppliers & retailers are taking full advantage of people wishing to return to normal while stores maximize margins. Shame on you all for eliminating the holiday traditional sale of two 20lb bags for around $10.
You have well learned from a political party that preaches “ never let a crisis go to waste “ ie. take full advantage of a crisis situation.
Jim says
I have been buying Kingsford for over 30 years can’t remember when they didn’t have a sale for memorial day, 4th of July and labor day. Not this year you would think now more than ever they would. Disappointed
Grilla killa says
Kingsford has not had a sale on charcoal for 10 dollars for at least 3 years now. I have been hoarding my last 20 bags of 18.6 pound bags for a long time. It is not the pandemic hype that is doing it. Do your research.
Jen @ Inspiring Savings says
Hi Grilla,
The information provided on this site is backed by the information found on each store’s website. If you use any one of the links, you will find the same pricing listed. I have done my research and I am sad you have to be so rude about it.
Shaun kerr says
Exactly. She’s shilling for someone. Sad.
Shaun kerr says
“Great deals” how much are you getting paid to say that? The price on this “sale” has gone up 80% since covid & stayed that high. You should be doing an article about how the middle class & working class are being squeezed yet again, not acting as tho everything is normal & this is a great sale. Shame.
