Kingsford 2-packs of 18.6 lb bags are on sale for $9.88 in the Los Angeles area, probably everywhere else too, today through 7/6 at Lowe's.
Happy 4th everyone, enjoy this time with friends and family!!!
Curiously this is at least the third time Home Depot and Lowes has run this sale this year. I want to say in the past it hasn't been more than two or three times in an entire year. I purchased six bags in March or thereabouts when I saw the first sale. If I'd known they were going to run this sale three times in less than six months, I would have spaced out the purchases!!
Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.
Do You suppose They run sales as Loss Leaders? Or is there that much Profit built Into The Normal Price Structure? $9.88/Twin Pack-18.5# Bags! The only difference in the Lowes And Home Depot Adds here in Fargo is the limits on the # Of Twin Packs per Customer, 2 @ Lowes, 5 @ Home Depot!

I stocked up in the last 2 sales, have no more room. I think I have 10 or 12 bags in the storeroom and 3 left of the 4 I brought home and piled in the workshop downstairs.
So, I have enough to get me through the summer, but I will need more heading into the winter. I assume this sale will come up again on Labor Day, anyone know if otherwise?
Don't know for sure about Labor Day sale but I'd say it's a pretty safe bet it will come up again. The last one was right around Memorial Day and the latest, July 4th. Seems like it's always at or near the major summertime 3 day weekend holidays.
