I try to buy as much as I can from our local Ace Hardware...they are a Stihl Dealer and have a good service department. What we don't have is a meat market or butcher shop anymore...the IGA store had a very good meat department but it has been gone for awhile. The best part of the Ace is that it's minutes from my house and they have good hours...everything is well stocked and most the help is knowledgeable. One example is the plumbing department...there is an older lady whose father was a plumber in town for decades and she worked for him so she knows this stuff inside and out. I was replacing my kitchen faucet and the supply lines on the new faucet weren't long enough so as I'm walking in the store she sees me carrying the faucet and before I could say a word she is telling me what I need to make it work. That doesn't happen at Home Depot. Edited December 8, 2019 by Jimmy Snacks 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I go to big box, between parking a 1/4 mile from the door and then hooffing another 1/4 around inside.

Fucking nail on the head,..I was out with this chick yesterday afternoon doing some shopping and stuff, was getting to be 5ish, asked if she wanted to go get some food, suggested the Bull & Bear Roadhouse. Local place close to my house..She really didn't want to go out and said let's just go get some subs at Wegmans (big family grocery store chain) and go relax at my place..Now Wegmans is cool, but a 1/4 to park, a 1/4 mile of walking around inside, and a 10min wait at the check out line..I said, let's go to Speras and get samich's..(She has never been but has heard of it) park 10ft from the front door,..30ft to the deli, Subs with Boar's Head meats and cheese and half the price of Wegmans..No line at the check out too.. She was like damn, now I see why you go there every day, what an awesome place.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin george Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 We shop as much as we can in town at the Home Hardware and CDN Tire even though they're big outfits they're locally owned. Another big thing living in the country is using the local trades that rely on their reputation. We needed a plumber when we had no water and got a name from a friend. I missed his phone call and I was sitting playing on my laptop,the door opens and a guy sticks his head in the door and says you George? I said yeah and he says I'm Drew the plumber lol. Five minutes later we have water,he had a beer,gave him a cheque for the part he changed and a couple of weeks later he came back to install a new softener,carbon tank,hot water tank etc. He says I'll send you an invoice and a few months later we had to call him and asked if he wanted to get paid lol. The service up here is pretty good,honest and you better have beer in the fridge lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
