Home Depot came through

Should it really matter what dimension was being used for the sale?

Well, HD charges by linear feet. The cost varies depending the width of the boards and you’re paying extra at HD because they’ve already ripped the boards to usable dimensions. Remember, they’re selling to average consumers who might need oak for a project, not woodworkers who can easily dimension their own lumber. Personally, it seems like comparing apples to oranges.

I was in HD earlier in the week as well. I needed a can of Johnson’s paste wax. I use it on all of my machine tables and beds. HD wanted 6.99 for a 16 ounce can. Using my Iphone I checked the price of the same product at Lowes. They wanted $4.99. I showed the Lowe’s price to the service desk, and they honored the price. Got it for 4.99 and did not have to drive another 10 miles to Lowes.

HD was not having a good week.

HD makes way more $ than it loses with that 10 % deal, so it’s good fun to hit them up for it. One time I nailed them on $1400 worth of tools. They escorted me out of the store (claiming they wanted to make sure I didn’t set off the security system) !

I get my 10% off useing my VA card at HD and Lowes both and never have a problem at check out , they just look at the card and ring up the 10% off.
Came in real handy when I was at my Daughters house for Super Bowl week and had a Daddy Do List to take care of , spent over $300 at the 2 stores combined and no problems with the Discount.
