My pre-lit Christmas tree died last year. The lights in the mid section went out and having to…read morestrand extra lights, was a pain. So I started shopping for a new tree. I hit all the big box stores and even checked the web and could not find one I liked at a price I wanted to pay. I was at a point, where I was giving up and deciding not to have a Christmas tree. To my surprise, I found the perfect tree at a mom and pop hardware store. I came to St Peters, to pick-up some lawn bags and left with lawn bags and a new Christmas tree at a sale price that was cheaper then any of the other places I shopped. Lesson learned, shop local for the best service and value.

My husband has gone to East Alton tool rental for years and always received good service. However,…read morehe took his stihl saw in 2 months ago for a broken handle. Eric took the handle off in front of us and said that he couldn't fix it and would have to order a new one. My husband called several times over the past 2 months to check on the progress of the saw. Finally, my husband ordered a new handle online and went to get his saw so he could attempt to fix it himself. When he did, they handed it back to him in pieces in a box! The broken handle (which had salvageable pieces on it) and several other pieces were missing! When he asked about it, he was told that he brought it in like that. Which is completely untrue. Unfortunately, they have now lost our business for good and we would NOT recommend them to others...as we have in the past. If you choose to utilize their company, take pictures of your equipment while in the store before handing it over to them.

When I've needed assistance, there has always been someone around to assist me with their knowledge. Recently while I was shopping, I noticed that Lowe's has added a nice selection of pet foods and treats. That makes shopping so much easier. No need to stop at the big box pet store after shopping for home repairs. Since I am relocating back to STL, I needed to shop for new paint colors for the condo. Selecting from their super large selection of colors is mind blowing. I took several sample cards to the condo and made my selections. Shhhh, don't tell anyone, I ended up choosing the same colors of the house I am selling. While I was selecting paint chips, I saw that Lowe's now has clothes. Or have I just never noticed it before. I wasn't in need of a shirt or shorts, but the selections were pretty good. Saw a couple shirts that I liked. I'll continue to shop Lowe's for the good pricing, it will just be one of the stores in Saint Louis.
