Bit of advice

If you are like many others, you believe automatically that Home Depot ALWAYS charges less money for their products than our local hardware and lumber stores. Through the years, I have discovered that that is a faulty conclusion to make. For instance, yesterday, we ran out of ceramic tile adhesive that we needed for the last counter. We could have driven to HD in Garden City, paid the $16.00 for the same adhesive in the same amount PLUS we would have had to pay for our gasoline and any other items along the way. Instead, today, we went to Western Hardware here in Leoti, bought the same amount, same brand, etc for $12.00. Just the purchase of the adhesive here was $4.00 less.

So, do yourself a favor and check out your local hardware first. Plus, Daddy always said this. If we go out of town to purchase necessary groceries, etc., our local businesses will have to close down and soon, we will be driving to Garden City just to buy a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread. Wise words to remember the next time you consider buying non-locally.
