So the time has come to get a new string trimmer. For starters this triggered another ‘damn I’m old’ episode. I was thinking that I had just got the old string trimmer and looking back, it’s been seven years… absolutely crazy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I do my research and all things are equal between a Ryobi and Troy-Bilt trimmers, price, manufacture and both fit the attachments that I already have but the Ryobi has a 3-year warranty and TB a 2 year. Ryobi it is…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So the price is $229.99, I head up to my local Home Depot, and find it but there are two types, grumbling I look them both over, they’re the same, no price though. Get to the checkout and it’s $249.99, strange and WTH, get to the truck and look it up on my phone, still $229.99. Go in and ask and it turns out Home Depot will not match prices… With themselves… Think about that for a bit. A store will not match the price that’s on its own website… They said they could order it for me right there though. I said no, just refund my money, things were just a little too weird at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Long story, I went home, got online and it will be delivered free to my house in two days. Absolutely no need to have gone anywhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
