It's Friday night and we're preparing to make our weekly trip to Lowe's. I know we should buy stock in the company, no wait I think we already have.
The routine is shopping at Lowe's to get the necessary supplies for the weekend project on the old house then dinner and a movie. We went to see the "Bucket List" last weekend and loved it!
We have a running joke around here for rating project difficulty by calling it a one, two or three Lowe's trip job. The employees there know us by name and speak to us when we go in the door. After remodeling three houses they've gotten to know us quite well.
I don't know why but we don't enjoy Home Depot as much. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's because they don't mark things down as often and as drastically as Lowe's. We have got some bargains on the weekends. Many times hubby has gone to Lowe's to pick up some quick item and called with excitement over cabinets that would match our kitchen at 90% off or a window that "we'll find a place for". The employees at Home Depot seem to always push "installation", not for us seasoned DIYer's. That's almost an insult - us - pay for installation - never!

Lowes DOES mark down a lot... I recently found a whole bunch of really nice things.. including a light for $20! It's down right dangerous to walk in there sometimes.
We prefer Lowes too. I think their prices are better, and the stores seem nicer too. :)
