I used to believe that I was helping my local community by buying from stores like Lowe’s. However, now I believe they and stores like them are taking advantage of all their customers. If I have a project that requires lumber and a mix of other products I buy the lumber from a lumberyard and then all the fasteners and adhesives and tools from Amazon. Reason?
Pricing. Box of 30degree clipped 3” framing nails are 1/2 the Lowe’s price on Amazon. Caulk, same.
People plan for projects and have time to shop around. Sorry for the employees of brick and mortar stores, but Amazon and Lowes treat them like cr-p in either case. So I do what is best for me and my family.
