Where did that 20% coupon come from? That is what I need!

I've got to do something about space here, seems we have become an excess stuff store house.

I had managed to free up one stack slot only to see stuff piled up on what should have been another compost bin side. I'm currently working on the slot beside it but it will take a bit of time to get down to the pallet at this rate.
 
Nice Score.... Love that Price.

For that price, I would stack 10 ton away. I might even pay to have it delivered. ;-P
 
It's a bit of a drive for you guys, but the lowes in milford has several tons.
 
Last time I saw GT's at Lowes they were $275 a ton in my area. I would jump on tonnage at that price.
 
Hi Ray- didn't know you burned. Still got the rx-7's? We met a few times when E was doing his swap in the del sol.

We did a few rounds of storage issues when the kids all moved back and relocated to their own homes. Then the boys came and dug me out. They tossed out about everything that wasn't nailed down. One son told me "we tossed out that old record player, but we saved all your lp's". All was well after that.

Sold ours a couple years ago when we got rid of the horses. Sold it with our New Holland 180 Skid Steer as a package.

Never thought I would need one that big again.... Boy was I wrong.

Congratulations on the purchase. I only need to borrow it for a few hours!! ;-P
 
Eatonpcat said:
Anytime Kenis...But I don't pick it up till Saturday!! Would love to have that skid steer!!
Wish I would have kept it.... Thats for sure. But without the Horses, there was not much use for it.

Could have used it to unload a Truckload (22 ton) of Somersets into the Barn!!

Hindsight is 20/20 though!!! ;-P

Unfortunately, the Cromwell, CT Lowes would not apply my 10% coupon because the ton was already discounted ("contractor" pack, haha). I argued with the manager but gave up when it became clear he wouldn't give me the $22 credit. I was a little ticked off and felt like walking away, but my stove really likes the Greene Teams and I wanted the pellets. I don't have a truck and live very close to this store so it isn't worth it going to another Lowes that might let me use the coupon.
 
that is BS!!!!!!!! i'm even PO'd!! if i recall its 10% off any purchase up to 5 grand?!?!? it is a purchase under 5k. i must say im suprised lowes is rather "forgiving." id call a national desk, hopefully they will iron it out or throw you a bone.

btw

this years GT and my Castile are a match made in heaven!!! going to be in the 50s for a bit today so, im throwing in a sack of supremes. th they cost th same, the GT are more valueable to me...

Unfortunately, right on the 10% moving kit coupon it states: "Coupon cannot be used in conjuction with any other coupon or discount"

I'm sure there are plenty of other Lowe's that would let it slide, but I didn't have a leg to stand on.
