Home Depots here only give 10% off up to a $250 purchase.
Lowes is 10% off entire purchase.I hate it but I buy my big $$ items from Lowes because of the discount.

The offender was Castle Creations? Either I don't understand the meaning of the word offend or I missed something. How were you offened that Castle offered 30% off their prices?

[NGreen]

No, I was just amazed at the awesome discount! Totally threw me off guard. I had to ask the sales rep to repeat herself.

[Skeeno]

Do they offer a teacher discount?

[NGreen]

I donno, but it'd be something worth asking about.

Usually from HD the $200-$250 discount, is the dollar amount of the total discount.. not limited to purchase price. If not, ask the store manager.

interesting... I've asked at 2 different Lowes, one told me no and the other one told me they weren't sure. I generally despise Lowes as much as wally-world, but they do have a better hardware selection than HD.

I had just purchased about $6k worth of cabinets and when I went to check out they only gave me 10% off for the first $250.Manager confirmed it.Apparently there are a few that are abusing the system here by using the discount for their remodeling/construction business.

Damn, a Newfie attack ship! You Canucks should really stop mistreating those people like that.

Yeah, sounds legit. And they won't let you double dip as far as using multiple discounts.

Yep...no double discounts. I did however get free hardware because I spent over a certain amount.Saved about $500 there.Have you ever priced hardware for cabinets?? Holy s&*#t that stuff gets expensive!
