Watch: The Top 5 Gifts Consumers Want This Holiday Season
Lowe’s, the nation’s largest retailer of major appliances, has begun offering steep discounts on select models as part of a month-long Black Friday promotion.
The No. 2 home improvement chain’s promotional calendar includes discounts of up to 40 percent on designated appliances, and a sale price of $999 for Samsung 25.5-cubic-foot French door refrigerators (model RF260BEAESG) in stainless or black stainless, regularly $2,199. The retailer is also offering rebates of up to $600 in the form of a Lowe’s gift card on purchases of two or more select majaps, each priced $396 or higher.
All three offers are effective through Nov. 29.
In addition, daily deals on smart-home products will be announced throughout the month, including a $20 savings on the purchase of two Google Home Minis, available Nov. 14-21.

In contrast, Lowe’s archrival The Home Depot is holding its Black Friday plans closer to the vest. According to BestBlackFriday.com, a research and shopping advice site, the retailer has issued a preliminary cease and desist order, an annual practice, that forbids the site from posting Home Depot’s Black Friday ad scan until late in November.
