Smart Balance Milk No Longer Carried?

[jessicagal109]

I'm relatively new to couponing, only started about a month ago.

I asked my dad to stop by Lowes to get a few cartons of the Smart Balance milk (I'm 13, so I can't really drive myself there. xP)
He called me once he got to the store and said that they no longer carry Smart Balance milk, because it didn't sell well in their store.
It was in my town's circular as the BOGO deal, though, and I assumed that if they didn't carry it, it wouldn't have been in the circular.
It's the only Lowes Food around here.

Is there anything I can do about this?
Milk at 50 cents is pretty good, in my opinion, but that's the only Lowes around here, as well as the only one that doubles coupons.

Thanks. :)

He called and said that they no longer carry Smart Balance milk, however, it was in my town's circular as the BOGO deal.

Yes, the do carry it I was told this week when they were out of it that their warehouse was empty so the stores couldn't get any of it in until the supplier replenished their warehouse.

I got a raincheck for it at one store and found one of the variety I like at another.

I guess I should reword what I said
They told my dad that they no longer carried it because it didn't sell well in their store, but it was still in the circular as BOGO for the same town.

Many times I have seen Utz potato chips in the ad but my area does not carry this brand. Do you have more than one store in your area? I would make a trip to the actual store to see if it's really just out of stock. You can also check your actual store on the Lowes Foods To Go website to see if they really do carry this product. Hope this helps.

Oh, ok. Hhmmm, perhaps another Lowes within reach of you might still carry it? I hope you can find it!

I see it says $2 at the store I shop at this week (starting 7/20)...but I also know that my store does not carry the LF 1/2% gallon milk (called skim deluxe). The Dairy dept has the optoin to not carry items that don't sell well. I went to a store not even remotely close to mine and they have several rows of it there. IT makes sense for them NOT to carry it, but you can see if they can ORDER it for you if the warehouse carries it they should be able to order it for you...
I know I was in a different chain and the SB milk doesn't sell well there either (lactose free especially) and he had to throw out 24 cartons of it because it all went past the expiration date-I am the one that pointed out they were dated the day before and he started pulling and pulling and then went in the back and found more that hadn't even been put on the shelf yet...What were they thinking ordering that much anyway when they get a truck 3 days a week?

I just know I have 16 Q for $1.50/1 that expire TODAY.

Thanks for the help, everyone.
I don't have another Lowes Food nearby, unfortunately. But, if the SB Milk goes on sale again anytime soon with any other good deals, I think we may have to make a trip to one farther away.

Oh wow! It's still on sale!
That's a shame about the lactose free going to waste - I would have taken it all! It's what my dh drinks, and until all the good Smart Balance Qs started coming out, I used to spend 3.99 on other brands with a rare sale bringing it down to 2.00.
I've stocked up on the SB though. I'll be sad when the coupons start diminishing in value.

As anyone in Triangle area seen more SB milk today??? If so, which store(s)?

[uummm]

went to LF today...NO smart balance milk there! Funny it showed it on my lowes foods to go....
My DH has to drink it too clippy....I will run out but then I pay the price. HE would rather drink the normal milk but I told him to get over it and drink that stuff.If he doesn't drink it, it's not fair to ME!
