It's not the last place for me. It's not even a consideration. We went
there, priced carpet, and when we returned to purchase it, the price went
up
considerably. It was at Lowe's.

While I am not a fan of the big box stores, retail prices
constantly change.

What was the price of a gallon of gas last week?, tomorrow?,
yesterday? ... same for bread, milk, coffee, mortgage rates,
lumber, sheet goods, ....

The largest carpet manufacturer (I work for 'em) had 6 price increases last
year due to the run-up in oil prices driving nylon prices up.
