[@tastx3142]

Brick and mortar stores have overhead that online stores don’t have. If those physical stores disappear, we no longer will be able to look at items and compare quality. Pictures might be great but being able to pick up the item and inspect it carefully can aid your decision.

[@nk5850]

The problem, though, is that Amazon has become a monopoly. They will drive retail stores out of business. Then where will we be?

[@GG1man]

Amazon is basically the Sears Roebuck of today. Sears monopolized the market by dictating what they would pay for vendors goods. While Sears didn't exactly drive all of the local hardware stores out of business, their marketing strategy did take business away from them. Amazon won't be the last one to do what they are doing. At some point, even they will succumb to the market.

[@alexhajnal107]

Check whether the cable you get is actually solid copper and not copper-clad aluminium. Strip the insulation off and hold a length of bare wire in a lighter flame; if it glows orange then it's solid copper, but if it burns and shrivels away to nothing it's aluminium. A magnet test for steel wire would be a good idea too.

[@jscatt6123]

Amazon doesn’t have people walking out with cart loads of merchandise on a regular basis like retail stores do. I work for Lowe’s and you would be shocked at how much is stolen and how lenient the courts are on these thieves so of course the stores are making up the loss by charging more. 44.00 for 15’ of 14/2 Romex is crazy, it 20.00 at lowes

This really speaks to being an informed buyer and fortunately for stores a lot of people are not, haha. I check prices before I buy anything but I have been doing it for over a decade. Sometimes I find stuff cheaper at Home Depot compared to Lowe's or Walmart, sometimes its the other way around. I recently replaced my garbage disposal and found it $40 cheaper on Amazon compared to Home Depot. Sometimes things on Amazon can be more expensive than the store. I found a measuring cup 4-5x more expensive on Amazon compared to Walmart. I have noticed that Walmart and Amazon sometimes price things exactly the same down to the penny.

I've been an electrician for around 25 years. When I started 250ft of 12/2 romex was around $19.

[@jonathanwestrum9345]

The only issue I see with this advice is it's important to compare like with like. Comparing prices of the exact same product is a no brainer, but it can be tempting to compare a quality, name brand, product like Southwire sold by HD with less expensive no-name brands and think you are getting a better deal. The reality is you are comparing a quality product with a lesser quality one. Depending on the application, sometimes lesser quality is just fine or good enough and sometimes its not. As long as you are comparing more than just the prices then it's great advice.

[@_urbanmonk]

Not necessarily true. Due to the extreme volume that big box stores do, they can manipulate the price down from manufacturers like Southwire. The only way for Southwire to make their money is to make the product cheaper to a lower quality standard. Yet, they still put their name on it. Go to a professional plumbing supply store and buy any American Standard faucet or shower head, and you will find that that product has brass parts and higher tolerances. Buy the exact same design and model at a Home Depot or Lowe’s and you will find that there are nylon parts inside. This is the reality of retail and manufacturing.

[@crismcdonough2804]

HD sells cheaply made Chinese crap.

[@_urbanmonk]

@@crismcdonough2804 Just add more volume to your thought. 28% of all things are Chinese made. Just because it is Chinese made doesn't automatically make it crap. Apple products are prime example. The vast majority of electronics components too. My point was that price can and often does indicate quality, brand not necessarily so because of the phenomena of large retailers having so much buying power that they can get variant products made, using cheaper materials, to reach a price point.

Leah, A tip my electrician taught me. He puts a 6" loop inside the wall at each box. When the sheetrock guys hack up the wire with their Rotozip you can then just pull out about 6 more inches of good wire.

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

Copper is always cheaper in bulk. I can get 250ft of 14-2 for $90 at its highest it was $120. 50ft is $75 to $90 you get the point never pays to get small rolls of wire period even if you sell it later. Copper pipe is the same way we pay $20 for 20ft 1/2 pipe if we but 10 or more at a point iys cheaper to buy more. Look at local supply house too! My electrical supply house will sell romex by the foor for $1.62 a foot for 14-3 so think outside the orange or blue big box store.

[@Pippi-Longstocking]

I like to preshop at Home Depot on the app. Check out prices and put it in my cart. Then I go to Home Depot and then I have a list and each item has a location in case I can’t find it. If you shop on the app for pick up, it costs more .. a dollar or more per item. I know because I compare the price on the app “cart” to the on the shelf price. Just so you know.

[@Sean_neaS]

That is the best solution. I'm going to start doing that for anything I can. That way you know you're getting a fair price and giving preference to local stores. We don't want to get ripped off, but we don't want all the local stores to close either.

Here where I am In Canada at Home Depot, 10 meters (32 feet) of 14-2 Romex is $29.95 Canadian... which comes to $34.44 after tax which converts to $25.29 USD at the current exchange rate. It's a little crazy how much more that cable is there. It's so great that you are helping folks save money. Thank you as always for sharing your wisdom with us

[@Changing_the_game]

Thanks for the info. Your awesome.

Home Depot operates on a different business model to Amazon. It probably pays their workers better, doesn't rely on massive automated warehouses to hold it's stock instead of funding multiple sites where people can physically shop for what they want. As a matter of principle I avoid shipping through Amazon as much as possible.

HD pay is $15 an hour.

[@Baumer747]

The pay isn't that great. An 8 year employee that is a specialist and trains on all the machines makes slightly more ($2) than some inexperienced order puller.

gotta make sure ceo’s get them huge checks while paying pt employees crap!

Thank you for the video and information.

My ears perked up when you said an item was locked up and you couldn't freely get to it. It happened to me at Walmart is the haircare dept. I wanted to buy a little plastic headband and found it was behind a locked cabinet. The store employee said it was due to thefts. The item cost $1.49. Talk about an eye roll.

You can thank Trump. If you can get away with it, do it. If you get caught, deny it. If you get caught red handed, deny it.

I really don’t like putting 💰 in Bezos pocket, but I can literally order almost any $2 item (or more) and have it shipped free, arriving same day or next for less than I can find at almost any store including Wal-mart! I do have Amazon Prime but still save after averaging the cost over a years worth of orders.

[@boycott2720]

So you DO like putting money in Bezos' pocket.

[@alanaldpal950]

@@boycott2720 guilty…. The alternative is spending more for less on most things I buy

Great topic Leah. 👍

[@jameswester333]

What a heads-up. Thanks!

[@1corycar]

As a (recently) former Cashier at my local Home Depot - WIRE is the #1 stolen item besides cordless drills. Here in California it's basically legal to steal due to our stupid laws protecting criminals. That's one reason the price is higher there...

[@noshortselectric5208]

Always check with suppliers or wholesalers for electrical, hvac, plumbing, drywall, doors/windows etc. They may not be as friendly as they prefer dealing with contractors, but youll save. The caveat is they are normally only open 8am-5pm mon-fri

My husband had the same experience at Lowes, where materials were under lock and key. When the attendant assisted him, he asked why this was necessary. Store theft in this one store accounts to $1 million a week!
