Hardware store trip

So today I went to the hardware store. It is a rather famous store with a big orange sign. I wanted to go and look at a grill they had for sale. I had noticed by searching the web that other stores had the same grill for a cheaper price but I wanted to go to the closest store and just see what it looked like in person. I wasn't really in need of it right away but was curious based on research I had done online. Before I went to the store I called to see if they had the grill in stock and if they has one that was assembled. The employee I spoke with said they had one of the grills already assembled and that they had grills in stock for purchase. He also informed me (after I asked) that they price match.

I decided to go check this grill out. So as I was walking to the doors of the store they have this large sign that was posted outside that was also somewhat obstructed however I seemed to notice it anyway. It said something like they not only price match but they beat their competitors price by 10% and well in these economic times and for me any time money matters! I hate spending more money on an item that I can get for cheaper somewhere else. So I was excited when I saw this sign and the store indeed did honor it and gave me no hassle at all. So if you're out there looking to buy something always always always look online for better deals and coupons.

Also, I suggest before you go to the store call them and see if the item is in stock and if they do match prices with other stores. Do this so you don't waste your time or gasoline. Sometimes you have to have your eyes open too. Such as if I had not seen that sign that gave me an extra 10% off I would have been spending more money at the register. This would have happened because the employees had no idea about the sign and I would have not saved as much! So always be on the look out for deals and more deals!
