Home Depot / Lowes Inventory Status

[turbotech]

lowes price jumped to 5.78 a bag overnight. Was planning on buying another ton but will now play the wait and see game since I have 2 ton in my stash as of now.

That should slow down the sales. I think that store will be sitting on those pellets all summer. Wait for them to finally need to get rid of them and slash the price to $2/bag.
Not a smart management decision, or maybe that is the last load for the season.

Edit: Not over here. I just called two of the nearest Lowes. $4.18/bag.

 

[polpelletuser]

north attleboro store is the store I saw them at for 5.78

 

[polpelletuser]

xena, what stores are still at 4.18?

 

[Don2222]

Same thoughts here Don. Just under 3 1/2 ton of Greene Team & Stove Chow stashed.
(broken image removed)
This weekend will be scrounging around to purchase another ton of something
with my 10% off coupon.

Hello Xena

Nice Stash you got there.

Did you carry them in all by yourself??

Hi Don. Yeah I brought 2 tons home in four trips
and stacked them in the garage and sunroom myself.
The other ton and a half my brother helped.

 

[turbotech]

How many gallons of gas do you use for 4 trips? In some cases it is cheaper to have them delivered if you live far away.

Wow, that is nice to do while you are out shopping anyways!! Good exercise too!!

I got a deal on shipping so I had them deliver most of it but still had to hand stack them after he took off real quick!

It isn't that far away. Delivery would have been more
than what I spent on gas. And the guys at the store
loaded most of them in the Jeep each trip.

Don I wasn't out shopping tho. All the trips were solely
to get the pellets. Doing two more trips this weekend
for one more ton. %-P

You guys ride Xena? I noticed the HD on the truck.

I was just curious. I have to do multiple trips too and in my case it is a lot cheaper than delivery. Plus it is a lot more fun going to get them than just having a truck arrive.

Yeah I'm a girl, on a "girls bike" lol.

Sorry about straying from the topic guys...

Weather permitting I'll be hitting Lowes again
both Sat and Sunday morning I hope.
Pics to follow if mission is accomplished.

 

[Harman Lover 007]

Just 4 tons of GT left in Seabrook( spies, spies, I love my spies) and 22 tons of "something else" as of noon Friday 3/11.

 

[djcg]

darn.. I just went back to Lowes in Southington, CT and they just upped their price to 5.78 as well. I walked out empty handed, hopefully price will drop again sometime soon.

 

[Madhatter]

Lowes in Whitehall PA had prestologs for $3.94 a bag on clearance yesterday. Was told they have 800+ bags left in stock.
Quoted $65 for deliver regardless of how many delivered.

My bad, I meant Lowes in Plainville.

 

[IHATEPROPANE]

Called lowes in dayville ct. Upped their price to almost 6 bucks. Seems strange that they would do that. They couldn't keep them in stock at 4 and change and now you would be crazy to buy them at almost 300 a ton.

 

[Wachusett]

Yep, the party is over..............Lowes Westborough, MA is $5.97 a bag = $298.50 per ton....ouch!

 

[dmaclaren]

Well, out local lowes only has Maine's choice and North American.

I guess I am stuck with Maines choice. I don't know at this point if prices will rise or is this is the last delivery. At this point, I believe it's a crap shoot.


Thoughts? Anyone have info on the delivers and stocking of the stores going forward? I would love to wait for GT but I have 2 more ton to buy for next year to have my 6 I need.

 

[ChrisWNY]

Crude oil just dropped sharply today because of the disaster in Japan, they are the world's 3rd largest consumer of oil so the drop in demand will send oil back down. This was inevitable anyway, whenever big oil hikes their prices, demand goes down so ultimately the prices fall in the long run. Pellet prices might not be so bad next Fall, especially with new mills popping up every so often.

Just came back from Lowe's Seabrook and scooped up the last 15 bags of GT. TODAY they raised their price to 4.68. When I asked what that was all about, they simply said that they have no control on prices. I let them know that Lowes in Saugus was still 4.18, but they didn't care. Oh well I at least had a 10% coupon.

They also said that was their last order for the season!

One more note, someone earlier on this thread said that had reserved 2 tons of GT to pick up Sat. Better bring a towel and hope none of the bags are ripped. They had 4 tons sitting in the rain marked paid!
