Don't say nothin' bad about Lowes

[jinman]

I just can't share that opinion of a store that treats me as well as they do.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

My wife and I are adding a bathroom onto our house. I went into Lowes yesterday to order a corner drop-in Jacuzzi tub, toilet, and lavatory. We were pleasantly surprised to find a sign at the Jacuzzi tubs that said they had a 15% off deal on special orders that started yesterday, 3/17/2011. We were excited because we just walked into the store and there was the offer. We had no idea there was a sale starting. So we got our stuff together and went to the special order desk. When they started to place the order, I showed them my Retired Military ID and they gave me an additional 10% off for that. So, we saved the price of the toilet on just the Jacuzzi tub and the clerk took 10% off all the items we had on our flatbed dollie. Talk about a smile on my face as I drove away. . .WOW! THANKS Lowes!

You seem to have all the luck! First TSC, and now Lowes...:thumbsup:

Okay, but I have nothing good to say about them either

I have my own beefs with lowes. I dont like the way they price things even from one store to another. I am fortunate to live about 30 minutes from 4 DIFFERENT lowes. All in ohio, Mansfield/Ontario, Mt. Vernon, Marion, Ontario.

Marion store has a lowes 1/4mile away. Mansfield has a HD and Menards 1/4mi either side. Those two stores have MUCH cheaper prices than the Mt. Vernon store and the Columbus stores are hit and miss.

I have mentioned it before, but about 6 months ago a friend of mine was on his way to the Mt. Vernon store for some Blow in insulation. I told him to hold on while I checked online. Sure enough 9.89 in Mt. Vernon and 5.98 in Marion, SAME EXACT STUFF.

And I just last week found another one. 4" corrugated drain pipe.

Hopefully the links will work here

Shop Hancor 4"x100' Perforated Corrugated Pipe Hancor at Lowes.com

Shop Hancor 4"x100' Perforated Corrugated Pipe Hancor at Lowes.com

It really pays to use that "Check other stores" option on their site.

And NO the Mt Vernon store will NOT price match their other stores.:confused2:

Edit: Well apparently the links didnt work

But marion (zip 43302) is $33.88 and Mt. Vernon (43050) is $54.30

Talk about price gouging

Lucky you for the 15%. As for the 10% discount I think you should get that everywhere for serving our country. Congratulations to Lowes for offering it.

Yep, Jim, you are lucky for sure.:laughing:

I went to Lowe's yesterday morning myself for a couple of little cheap items. I wanted one of those short (6") hose with the spring around it. Walmart and Home Depot didn't have them; Lowe's did.

But then I also wanted another brass cutoff valve to put on a garden hose. Walmart has them for $2.97, Home Depot for $5.97, and Lowe's for $7.66.:confused2:

I always wondered if a company can mark down implements 10-20-30%. How much profit do they make when there is no sale or discounts applied? Clothing is another example: buy 1 mens suit at regular price and get 2 of equal or greater value free. Womens clothing marked down 70 %. IMHO. It is all sales gimmicks. Ken Sweet

Last week I picked out about $10 of stuff at Lowe's. have gotten 10% off for over a year by showing expired military ID. New policy -you must be on the payroll now, retired & collecting or active duty, to get the 10%. Left the merchandise at the registere & reminded the manager that HD is directly across the street. They give 10% for all ex military. MikeD74T

I was thinking about that suit thing...I wonder how much the first one costs...

I went to Home Depot, to buy some electrical stuff, for me. A friend had told me about his dish washer being broken since I had the truck we looked, he wanted a cheap manual model. They had one, $200.00 phoned him and he gave the OK to buy it. The sales man put it on the cart and off we go the sales girl scanned every code on the box,nothing came up, so I went and got the salesman. He gave her the numbers out of the catalog. Off we went, got to my buddy's place, we unloaded it and cut off the cardboard, it was an Amana, and electronic, he said that was a good deal when we were installing it in the hole we read the red tag it said remove plastic cover after installation, it was stainless. That model was not available in the area we got it at, but was a $600.00 unit he may have trouble getting warranty but he was willing to risk it.
