I was in Lowes yesterday and was telling my wife how much I have neglected you guys this year. The Saturday after Christmas Home Depot puts a lot of tools on sale. Lowes tends to have a lot of plumbing fixtures and lighting on sale. I was in my storage last night and noticed that I have enough light fixtures to do an entire house and enough plumbing fixtures bathroom and kitchen for several houses and I bet I haven’t spend more that $100 on the lot. I didn’t spend more that $5.00 on any of them except the 3 toilets that I have there and the most expensive one of them was $10.
My wife then reminded me that the Regional managers of these chains tell the store managers to get rid of the items that are going to be rearranged for the next remerchandising push. They usually tell them to have this stuff gone by end of the day Saturday every week. Right now Lowes is doing a lighting remerchandising and they have things in the aisle that is really good quality for really cheap prices. My point is that you need to go to your local Loews and Home Depot at 7:00 am every Saturday morning and if it is a good price buy all you see. Ask for the store manager ands make him an offer. You never know when you are going to be in a rehab and need a lighting fixture and it will be $20.00 but you have one in your garage just like it you got for $5.00.
