Ace Hardware: Free GE Energy Smart lightbulbs

by crystal on January 11, 2010

Ace Hardware has GE Energy Smart lightbulbs on sale for $1 this week. Use the $1/1 GE Energy Smart lightbulb coupon here to get them free.

Edit: Some commentors are saying their Ace does not accept manufacturer's coupons. I recommend calling ahead of time to verify that yours does accept coupons.

Lucy January 11, 2010 at 4:09 pm: ACE hardware in our area does not accept coupons.
Joy January 11, 2010 at 4:12 pm: Just FYI to save some a possible bummer trip: My Ace told me that they would accept a manufacturers coupon but that I couldn’t use it on the ones on sale. I could use it for the $2 bulbs, but not the $1 bulbs. Hmmm, I asked why and they sited the wording on the bottom of the coupon something like “can’t be used in conjunction with any other coupon”. I tried to state my case but with people who are unfamiliar with coupon use and standard policies, sometimes it’s just not worth it. Know what I mean? Anyways, instead I just went down to Wal-Mart and had them price match. Free lightbulbs with less hassle!
Karen January 11, 2010 at 5:03 pm: This deal runs fairly regularly and we’ve done it several times with no problems. It must depend on the store.
Brooke January 11, 2010 at 5:15 pm: This did not work at my ACE but if you print the ACE advertisement off their site and take it to Wal-mart they should honor this as a price match. It worked for me.
Janet January 11, 2010 at 6:54 pm: I ran in to the same thing yesterday. I was told they don’t take coupons on sale items.
Carrie January 12, 2010 at 1:31 am: Take the ACE ad (which runs till the end of the month) to Walmart or Target and get a price match. Both Walmart and Target’s price match policies state they will accept coupons on a price match. Take a copy of their coupon and price match policies (check their website or web search for it) just in case you get any grief. My Ace doesn’t accept manufacturer’s coupons, but I went down there anyway to get a copy of the ad to use for price-matching. Happy savings!

LIGHT BULBS January 12, 2010 at 1:40 pm: It depends on the store. Most Ace’s will take the coupon but you might want to call ahead.
anonymous January 12, 2010 at 2:05 pm: My ACE doesn’t take manufacturers coupons either (and the cashier was pretty insulted that I wouldn’t buy the lightbulbs for $1 each since that’s a spectacular deal according to him! well, then I was definitely NOT going to buy anything from him). I’ll give Wal-mart’s price match a try; I’ve never done that before. My Wal-mart doesn’t take Internet coupons that don’t have an internet address printed on them prominently for the product, so I don’t know what they do with price matching. Thanks for the price match info, though.
Amanda January 13, 2010 at 9:22 am: My Ace also said they would not accept a coupon with a sale item…thanks for the tip about price matching. I didn’t think about that!
