I think a few years back, they did have low prices, and subsequently put a
lot of small stores out of business. Since then it seems the prices have
crept up incrementally to the point that they are no bargain anymore

I believe it's called "strategy"! No kidding. Capture the market share and
do what you will afterwards. Can you say, "Wal-Mart". No smart A** comment
intended here.

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.
