    So I have learned that when dealing with home improvement stores you need to find the 2nd lowest price on something then take it to the competitor store that price matches and beats by 10%.

    So this summer we bought a washer and dryer from Home Depot which was $2100.00 and then priced matched to Canadian Appliance Centre which dropped it to $1650 after tax... amazing

    Repeat experience last week, we decided to replace outdoor patio stones.... found ones we liked at Home Depot for 9.50 a stone, then looked online found RONA had for 8.88... went back to Home depot to order tiles and they had to price match RONA plus 10% ended up paying 7.99 a stone. We bought 53 stones so we saved $79.50.
