Home Building Supply Companies
Home Building Supply Companies
Q: I found better deals for some items at various building supply companies. You say shop for as much as you can under one roof. I don't get it. If the main way to save money in this business is to shop well, you're wrong aren't you?
A: Well, it wouldn't be the first time! My reasons for buying as much as you can from one source haven't changed much over the years, its just gotten easier to do it as home building centers have grown and become more competitive. Your time is worth something (although one book reviewer who obviously never read my book accused me of not taking one's time into account), and shopping item by item takes a lot of time. You will get better service and a fair price, and you can still bicker over certain items with the one stop store.
