Ace Hardware B&M Stores Coupons $7 off $25 Feb. 5-15, 20% off Feb. 16, $10 off $40 Feb. 17-24, 40% off $40 Feb. 25 - Mar. 3, 2013

Those hoping to match at Home Depot might want to know that last summer, some people here and on other deal forums posted that their local stores no longer accepted printable (internet) coupons. The last time my husband asked at our local store, he was told that they accepted Ace coupons with no such exception, but of course this may vary from store to store and also I (and I'm sure many others) have been told many things by individual employees about store policies that have turned out to be just dead wrong.

Interestingly enough, other people have reported strange policies like that they only except competitor coupons that don't have barcodes (???) or that they won't accept coupons from Ace or Harbor Freight (basically any home improvement store that is not Lowe's or Menard's) because of a difference in the quality of merchandise that causes them to not see these stores as true competitors. If you Google "Home Depot competitor coupons" then you'll come up with a bunch of threads, I'd post them but I don't believe we're allowed to post links to competing sites (other deal forums) here.

Anyway, my husband is going to try and use the $7 off $25 on some flooring tools we need to pick up anyway to redo our bathroom, so we'll see what happens. I have a feeling that the "policy"changes with whoever happens to be working.

Ace Hardware must have been bought out by Sears. I notice they carry Craftsman tools now. 40% off might be a good deal.

Added a 2nd link [twc123.com] in the original post for $10 off $40 & 40% off 1 item. This graphic is a little larger & may look better for competitor coupon match.

Thanks Bruce

Thanks, OP.

I was able to use the $10 off $40 this past weekend at my local Lowes. I am going to try to use the 40% off coupon this weekend, since it is valid this week.

In the past, my HD accepted my Lowes 10% moving coupon without any problems.

Yeh, I've used the Lowes 10% moving coupon multiple times at HD. Last week, I used an Ace $5 off $20 hard coupon that was mailed to me at HD.

Now that the Ace 40% coupon is live, I suspect HD or Lowes won't accept it. Its too steep of a discount. It would be sweet if they did.

Any & everyone, please share if your HD or Lowes accepts the Ace 40% off coupon.

I am hoping to get propane gas tanks after using this coupon : $30 - 40% = $18 + tax. Let's see if they will honor it or not.

Let us know. I would like to know if they will do it as I am in the market for one as well.
Thanks

Has anyone had luck using the 40% off coupon at Ace? I've visited 2 locations, and at each place, the computer recognizes the coupon SKU (80036159), but it does not apply any discount. I've tried with several different products which are not on the exclusion list. I was told by both store managers that the coupon didn't work, so they couldn't accept it.

Thank you.

Thanks for the good idea, i needed another for the bbq grill this summer. I had to call around to a few Ace stores and find one that sold empty tanks. Pretty decent deal, $22 with coupon.

Just checking to see if anyone has successfully used the 40% off at Ace, or at Lowes. I know my HD won't take internet printed coupons.

I never shopped at ace previous to last month. Decided to give them a shot with the 50% off coupon. They have by far the best bbq accessories in the area.

I used the 40% off at my local Ace on an over-priced tube of GE kitchen & bath caulking ($8 reduced to $4.80 - its prolly this price at HD w/o coupon).

I used the original small print coupon. The scanner couldn't read it (scan). The cashier had to manually look at another clean 40% off coupon she had to key it in. I don't think this would have happened if I used the cleaner coupon here [twc123.com]. In any event, they accepted it.

Note: the coupon is only good for regular priced merchandise, not sale items.

I haven't tried it at HD or Lowes. Curious if anyone was successful there. I doubt it.

I just used the 40% off at HD for a $12.97 bouquet of roses. Cashier took $5.19 off. I didn't think she'd take it, but she did. She had authority too to take the discount w/o a manager. Woot! I think its a high YMMV though based on the cashier / manager.
