Deal has returned - $2 per 2 cubic foot bag. Expires May 1.

YMMV as it appears to be location based. All the stores near me (Delaware) are $2. My local store said out of stock online, but they had two pallets in stock.

this mulch is awful. It's chopped up pallet wood. The chunks of wood are large so coverage is inconsistent, and the color fades quickly. I know 2/bag seems like a deal but if you need more than a yard you are better off getting it in bulk from a landscaping company,
I see $3.33.
When you put it down, make sure no rain in forecast and dont get it wet for a few days. Once it dries out from the bag it should be good to go and keep color for a long time. The big mistake most people make is putting out before rain or throw out preen and water it down first day. This will wash the color away. Let it sunbake new out of bag and will be a huge difference.

Last day for the deal is 5/1/24 (Lowe's sales usually start on a Thursday date and are good through a Wednesday date). Be aware that entire regions are selling out of black and brown mulch. Sometimes they will substitute another brand named mulch, but be aware that some of them (looking at you Scott's) are engaging in "shrinkflation" so they're a little smaller than the standard sale mulch.

At this price, this is actually cheaper than the bulk nurseries. Get brown if u worry about fading. And if you worry about fading, then you shoukdnt be gardening. who would reasonably expect the added dye to not fade quickly the elements. And so what if it does.

You were 100% correct. I bought 50 bags, left half still on the pallet when I opened two of them. Terrible quality - pine cones, golf ball, large pieces (8-10"). Didn't look fine shredded at all.

I've used this before in large quantities, and it was great. But that was a few years ago.

Lowes refunded all 50 bags, despite me opening two and dumping them out. CS was awesome and couldn't believe it when I showed them the pictures.

Was the golf ball in good shape?

Check if they have stock. Last time, I ordered online and went to pick up. They told me they are out of stock. Ridiculous!!

I put 15 bags of black mulch down yesterday. It rained and the color is completely gone. Not worth it if you care about the quality.

Bring some sample pieces back and see if they will refund you. It states on the bag 12 month color guaranteed. I just pick up 20 bags of the black. 2 out of the 3 people in front of me also pock up black.

I concur with the other comments, very poor quality. I bought 40 and regretted it. Color was inconsistent between bags and faded after one or two rains

Sale ended 4/30 for me in SoCal. I bought quite a few but needed 6 more. For $2 you can't beat it especially for transport and yard situation being bagged and all. Lowe's employee told me tonight that a new mulch sale will be starting tomorrow but not sure which one..

Ive bought 40 bags 2 years in a row at this price as it's virtually the same price as my bulk supplier and easier to move. Put it down may of last year and was faded after winter but still blackish dark grey when I laid some new down when these went on sale.

This year, no issue with color fading (some have mentioned) after first rain which was same day as laying at down.

It says not to lay it down if rain is coming in 24-48 hours.

Does anyone have access to Lowes future ads? I am patiently waiting for this price to come around again on the brown. My store did not have any brown when this deal was posted last week.
