Just another li'l data point about our favorite store to mock, bash,
deride and insult here. Something actually in their favor for a change.

I need an ordinary duplex outlet for a job. Went to OSH (Orchard
Supply), one of the places I prefer over HD; the want something like $3
for the cheapest one. So it's off to HD for this, where I know they sell
those suckers for less than a buck. (They must buy them in lots of a
million or so. Surprised they don't have their own house brand.)

Point being, yes, I hate Home Despot, but they're clearly cheaper on
some things. (Not all; OSH is actually cheaper on many items.) So the
trick is to buy selectively.

Oh, and their return policy is pretty sweet. At least from my
experience, they'll take back practically anything, no questions asked.
(But then OSH has a similar policy.)


How far is it from OSH to the Home Depot?


Not far enough to make a difference (they're equidistant from me).

By the way, Home Despot had outlets (15 amp white) for 49¢ ea.



Were the ones OSH sold "spec grade?" I'd be willing to pay more for those.
