Wednesday evening, I started researching on-line for a new chainsaw. Once I found the item I wanted, I went shopping. Lowes carries it. Home Depot carries it. Tractor supply carries it and Walmart carries it. ALL of these retailers are close to my house so it'll be a piece of cake as now all I have to do is shop price, then drive 10-mins. to pick one up!

Ok, Walmart had the lowest price, but I get a 10% veteran's discount at Lowes and Home Depot which brings their prices a little below Wally World.

I called Home Depot. Don't stock it, will have to order on-line. Ok, screw that. If I order on-line, they don't give the veteran's discount which would place it higher than Home Depot, Walmart or even Tractor Supply.

I called Lowes. Same song and dance. Don't stock it. Have to order on-line. No vet. discount with on-line orders. (checked them off the list also)

I checked Walmart. They don't have one in stock at any of their local stores. Will have to order on-line. Never mind!

I checked Tractor Supply. They're the highest priced, but they're VERY close to me, so I'll swallow the price difference to be able to get it asap. Nope. Don't stock it. Will have to order on-line! ARRRGGGGHHH!

Then I thought of Amazon! Duh! Yep, they have 'em listed also and all are priced within $10 of each other. I also have a buddy who has Amazon Prime, so he lets me use his account. A quick check with Amazon and I found out the item does not qualify for Prime and it'll be a week to 10-days for delivery. F..K! We'll be in Los Angeles then. Never mind!

Ok, with NOBODY in town carrying it and NOBODY giving veteran's discounts for on-line orders, Wally World beats 'em all. I go on-line to order one from Wally World. It's almost midnight on Wednesday night and they tell me it'll be delivered to MY HOUSE by Friday. Huh? No way. Awww, WTF, I ordered it anyway. The frigging thing hit my front porch an hour ago! I checked their tracking and it was picked up in Tampa at 8:30 am and arrived on my doorstep a few minutes after 10:00 am! AND, with no discounts offered by any of the other outlets, Wally World beat ALL their prices.

Say what you want about Walmart, but they have their shit together!

P.S. I forgot to mention, that was free shipping!
