The question of who has the best prices often come sup here, it is Home
Depot or Lowes. Today, I had reason to be on both stores and checked the
price of an item I bought locally earlier this morning.

Taco circulator pump
Home Depot $86
Lowes $79
Supply New England $61.48

I still wonder why people line up at the big box stores thinking they are
saving a lot of money. If it was Sunday and I needed that part that day
to get the heat back on, I'd have paid it, but given the opportunity to go
elsewhere, it pays to do so.


I put a 5 1/2" MDF base board in my house Home depot $1.59 lnf local
lumber/hardware Meeks $.99 lnf.
If your buying just a little bit of stuff there convenient but any major
purchase shop around.One thing they do that just ****es me off Lowes and
Expo do it to they want $60 to come and measure you carpet. I brought a
detailed drawing to the 1/2" of three rooms door closets every measurement
you need, they said they have to come out and measure themselves. My answer
was if you can't give me a price from that drawing your to stupid to put in
my carpet. I've got prices on all kinds of flooring when I was in the
remodel businesses never was charged for an estimate. There the stores you
love to hate.
