Default Big box store pricing.

Ed,

I see this almost every day. My local Ace or True Value are less on many of
my home repair parts.

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.
