I’ve actually been getting better prices from the box stores ( lowes ) vs the other non chain stores. I took my last house lumber package from Lowes to the local lumber yard and they said buy it from lowes that they couldn’t match it. Lowes has also been consistently beating the local plumbing and electric supply houses in price. I try to support local businesses when I can but when they’re offering less available hours, less available selection, and higher prices sometimes a lot higher that makes that a tough sale.
