crazy mirror clearance

27 August 2010

I was in Lowe’s last night and was wandering down the mirror aisle, and this sign caught my eye…august 2010 064



I started looking around and saw yellow tags everywhere. Most were 75% off. Luckily, I had my camera, so I began snapping away. Here are the pics of the mirrors my store still had in stock, with the prices and item numbers below. If you don’t want to go traipsing off to your Lowes only to find there are none left, or they are not doing the clearance {and you want to ring my not-so-little-neck} call your store, give them a few item numbers from below and ask if they have any in stock and how much they are.

august 2010 075 1 Gorgeous and heavy! ^ I didn’t get a close-up of the tag, but here is the info: Allen + Roth Antique Pewter Oval Mirror Item # 0313028

These mantle mirrors are huge!! 36X46 inches. There were 2 styles that were 24.97, my store only had the silver left.august 2010 076 1 august 2010 077 1
august 2010 078 1
Remember:
* You can ask them to take the display down if there are no more left.
*You can also have them check other stores’ stock that may be close to you or a friend/relative.
*The power of paint! Don’t like the finish on the frames? Think of them in a new color and you could give them a whole new look.
*most of these are huge and would be great to replace boring builder grade mirrors.
*at my store, there are 2 mirror sections. These aren’t the bathroom vanity mirrors, but were in the decor section near the curtains.
Good luck. May the mirror clearance force be with you.
 
*** although I heart Lowes, sadly I am not getting any compensation for this post. You know I love a good deal.

    this is a great tip. I just spent $50 at Home Goods on one for my mantle. I think I may head to Lowe's to see if I can do better than that. Thanks!

    Some of those prices are crazy, Melissa! I love the first square ones you've pictured for $5. and $6.00. I could really use a floor length one because I have to use the closet doors in my son's room when I really want to see how shoes go with an outfit.

    Thank you SO much for the tip! I went over my lunch hour and found the New Orleans mirror for $9 and another larger one for $17, two mirrors for under $30 that would have been over $100 if I paid full price! I may even check out a second store! Thanks again!

    Bummer! I LOVED that pewter all glass modern mirror. I just called my lowes to find out that they are not marked down. Not willing to pay $90! I'm going to have to keep an eye on that one.

    Thank you so much for posting this. I found the copper 36x46 inch mantle mirror for $24.97, plus I had a 10% off coupon, making my total $24.33 after tax. :) We've seriously been trying to find a mirror to go above our fireplace that would match our screen for over a year and this one is perfect! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

    So I was totally reading back a couple of posts about your basement and the faux built-ins (genius btw) and I remembered that you were taking suggestions about what to put between the two sets of 123's and ABC's over a door or something ... just curious what you decided to put there - I think a lot of people suggested a clock... can't remembered what I suggested... Anyways, what did you pick?

    Happy Weekend, The Lady

    OH MY GOSH! Thank you SOOOO MUCH for posting this! I have had a plan to do my narrow dark hallway with all mirrors on both sides. Just finished painting glossy white and just started looking at the junk shops for mirrors. They are hard to come by...

    Just got back from Lowe's #4 and between the 4 of them I got 7 mirrors all different. They should work FABULOUSLY down my hallway! I spent less than $100 for the 7 and the most I spent was $22.48.

    Thank you thank you thank you Thank you thank you thank you Thank you thank you thank you Thank you thank you thank you Thank you thank you thank you Thank you thank you thank you Thank you thank you thank you, lol!!

    Hey! This is so great! Thank you so much!! I called on that big mantle mirror that you had a picture of being $24.97, and at MY Lowes- it was ONLY $16.00!!!!! CRAZY! All I did was give them the item number! You rock!! :)

    That just ain't right. Our Lowe's NEVER has any sort of good sales. Our store typically has one shelf in the middle of the store and it has a few blinds that might have some minor damage. Maybe a lamp that's missing a shade... etc. But nothing THAT good!

    So jealous!

    Thankyou! Thankyou! I was able to buy both of the mirrors in your first picture at the same clearance prices. I was so glad for the tip to ask to buy the display, they were the last two! By the way, I just want to mention how much I enjoy reading your blog. You have so many great ideas!

    I went today!!! Thank you for the tip. I was so hoping for the beaded one to be available and it was there. I got the display one and 2 of the square ones, also the oval wrought iron(but plastic) one. I bought a spray can of Rustoleum Titanium Silver and went home and got busy! I will try and get my before and afters posted soon. Thanks again for the heads up!

    thank you SO much for posting this!!! I scored some amazing deals, and 4 of the mirrors I took home were the displays so that tip def. came in handy! the only thing that could have made my outing any more successful was if i had scored the pewter beaded mirror - there was only the sample left and a corner was cracked, boo :( but still a very successful trip!!

    Thank you so much for posting this! After reading I loaded up the kids and ran to lowes. I bought the black oval mirror for my bathroom. I was hoping for one in white, but unfortunately it wasn't marked down so I may be doing some spray paint magic.

  38. Unknown8/30/10, 9:30 AM

    THANK YOU!!!!!!! As soon as I saw your post about the sale, I headed over to my Lowe's. Sure enough....there they were....mirrors on clearance. There weren't many left, but I did manage to find 5 great deals (if you count the fact I got the display mirrors too! :-)) They were reduced even further when I got them to the register. Again, thank you so much. I am sooo excited over my mirrors, even though I plan to use just the frames from the mirrors.

    WOW! What great prices Melissa! The last one for $12.47 would look fantastic in my itty bitty powder room. I should re do that builders grade mirror and hang this one instead. Did you see that recent post of mine? Thanks for showing us the sale prices.

    Have a great day!

    Thank you! I love your blog, always.
    I had to drive past two Lowe's to get to the one that had any mirrors left, but boy was it worth it. I can't believe how BIG that mantle mirror is, and for 25 dollars. Amazing. I also grabbed the pewter oval mirror for 12, I was thinking of replacing it in my bathroom but now I'm too selfish and I'll want to keep it with me if we ever move so I'm not sure what I'm doing with it now! It's gorgeous though. Thank you.

    Thanks for the tip on these mirrors! I went to my Lowe's yesterday and got the last oval off the wall for $14.00 out the door! I'd been waiting to find something to go over the buffet in the dining room...presto! =)
