New England (MA, CT, ME, NH, VT, RI) Lowe's Amherst, NH

[Peterfield]

Stopped by for something else and they were loaded with pellets. Brands they have are Inferno Gold, green Supreme, Corinth, Maine's Choice, Green Team, Cheat River, Nature's Own and Geneva pellets. Seems most were selling for $259 a ton but the Green Teams were in the low $300's. I did pick up some 50% off bags of Green Team that were torn bag sales and a few bags of Cheat River to try. The clerk said that all told, the store has around 8,000 bags of pellets but I counted at least 140 tons of Geneva's and 50 tons of Green Supreme in the garden center and there were more rows there as well as bags in the store.

I know. For their price points you can get into some seriously good pellets for equal to slightly more cost. Store manager told me they can see what is happening but the corporate Gods have a tin ear to what the market is doing. You would think same-time sales comparisons would cause them concern but so far it's not evident.

Went to my local Lowes over the weekend and noticed they raised the price of Green Team to $6.98 a bag ( .60 cents more than a month ago)
Can't figure out that logic.
