Wow - that's one hell of a price increase. Same size bag? Maybe it was on
sale 2 weeks ago?

Like I said, they haven't even got a shipment in, so all the bags were
last years bags. They had only one left, and it was 49.99.. The guy said
they have been unable to get in touch with the distributor... so they
are not sure when they will get it in, or if they will get it in.
So they jacked the price on last years stuff.


I also needed furnace fiters.. been buying the Flanders brand
filter... a lot less than the 3m stuff. With a high merv rating. Well
they now switched to all Honeywell filters made by Flanders at more
than 2x the price... Nice of HD to be thinking we are made of money.

F them. That's not a small increase on either product.

That's really surprising. They always used to carry three categories of
most items - Good, Better, Best. Surprising they got away from that.


Yep, now the store has one brand... HONEYWELL... but its HONEY NOT SO
WELL at those prices. Yea they have different merv ratings, but even the
lowest pleated was more than I was paying b4. So HD SUCKS.
