True. I only shop at Lowes when I need something and the mom and pops are closed. I buy my lumber at Ross Graden or Discount.

I bought a dryer today at Lowes. Had to have one. TODAY. As the non clothes washer of my house it is my responsibility to get her the tools she needs, when she needs them.

Home Depot

I prefer Home Depot over Lowe’s but probably do more business with my local Ace hardware store.

This for sure! At Home Depot you just have to show your military ID to receive their discount. Now at Lowe's you have to fill out paperwork and get on every mailing and email list they have and the ones they sell your information too, also. Also much better customer service here (Dothan) at Home Depot then at either Lowe's in the area.

Our Madison HD is pretty good with what I need. Really it goes back to when I was a NASCAR fan several years ago. I liked Stewarts (HD) attitude, and didn't like Jimmy Johnson (lowes). Them days are over and I go where the sale is.

Home Depot seems to be better if your a contractor or a do it yourselfer. Lowe's seems more set up for people putting shelves in their closet or hanging curtains in an apartment.

Not many of those left and sometimes they price themselves out.

Busted I saw you at Home Depot

I don’t shop at the homo-depot

I seem to be able to find more help at the local HD. Therefore, they are the first stop when it comes to hardware. If I have time, I shop the internet for some things. Bought 50# of deck screws for a little more than half of what Lowes and HD wanted. Same identical screw.

Lowes is the only place that will cut glass at 9:00pm. Valuable information to know right there.

Ace Hardware is my go to hardware store. Lowe’s is my backup plan.

Lowes. The last i checked they had a better military discount than Home Depot and I try to support those who support the military. I believe they both give a 10% discount but Home Depot has a $ limit.

I usually go to Lowe's for the simple reason it is MUCH closer than Home Depot. And I hate that, because the Lowe's in Northport is habitually terrible, from a service standpoint. Like pulling teeth to find someone if you need help finding something, and like Fred said, they're not going to help you load something up. They actually told me once they're not allowed to due to "liability" reasons. Whether that's true or not, I don't know.

Home Depot without a doubt. I cant stand lowes.

HD. Ginger or Mary Ann?

I usually pick up stuff at the local hardware stores if I can but I'll go to Lowe's every now and then to pick up odd and end stuff. I dont shop a home depot because cullman doesn't have one and I'm not driving 40 mins to the nearest one.

Yep. We have two local hardware stores in Vestavia; Cahaba Hardware and Rocky Ridge Hardware. I'll go to either one of those first. Better service and reasonable prices. Only go to the big box stores when I need something they don't care like lumber or ceiling fans.

Mostly Lowes, got one right down the road from work so if I have anything I need to do on my off days I’ll buy it online and do the store pick-up and have them get the stuff for me then pull up front and load it.

I mainly go to Lowes, because there's one in Trussville, Leeds, Gadsden, Ft. Payne and Rome, Ga. Most of the places I am near when I need something from a place like that, however I have started to go to Home Depot more. I think in some stuff they have a better selection than Lowes. Plus home Depot carries all kinds of stuff online that Lowes doesn't even have a clue about and you can get it delivered free to Home Depot.

Both give me a military discount.

If I just need some odd ball piece or something I like to go to Ace hardware. Most of those places have had very helpful people. Of course Lowes can vary greatly in the helpful scale. Most Lowes the workers either don't know or don't care or both, however the Ft. Payne Lowes has some good folks who are knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. By far my favorite Lowes.
