"So are all the local chains matching Home Depot & Lowes prices?"
I don't know enough to make that blanket statement. I would suspect it would depend on the item. Perhaps others have experience to share. Time permitting, it makes sense to do a phone comparison if a major item and your know what you want. Example, when I was shopping for gates for the drive, Del beat everyone and they were in stock.
Another tidbit on HPM. If working a serious project, you can set up a cash account. Mine was actually tied to my mastercard. Purchases made using this account received a discount, supposedly same as builders/contractors. I was also able to order by phone/fax from here in Atlanta and schedule delivery to Ninole. I was also able to do phone/fax ordering from Atlanta with HD as long as item was picked up within 7 days. HD didn't give me discount and would only set up a HD credit card account, which didn't interest me - went for the FF miles on existing account.
