calnight Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Lowes offers 10% off with a military ID. I used my pink 100% service connected ID. I will no longer shop at home depot they offer nothing for veterans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted June 6, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 6, 2009 Same thing here! Lowe's was smart to start doing that. I used my VA card last time. Hey, 10% is 10%! pr Lowes offers 10% off with a military ID. I used my pink 100% service connected ID. I will no longer shop at home depot they offer nothing for veterans.

HadIt.com Elder LarryJ Posted June 6, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 6, 2009 Before you get too hard on Home Depot........they have in place a "Veterans Hiring Initiative" in cooperation with the DOD and the VA, and have hired thousands of vets in the last 5 years. just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailblazer Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I am going to have to get a note book and write these things down. I just left Lowes about an hour ago and forgot to ask them about a veterans discount, bad memory, I just don't have it anymore. I also went to sears and bought a few things and contributed to the disabled veterans and got a gift certificate to outback steak house for the amount of the contribution, so it really didn' cost me anything. Helping a vet is my way of giving back what they did for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted June 6, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 6, 2009 Although I like Lowes and the 10% would help plus their sales seem to be a little stronger. Home Depot is 1/2 a mile from me and Lowes is bout 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder rentalguy1 Posted June 7, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 7, 2009 Home Depot is very vet friendly, even if they don't give us a discount. The two that are in my area are heavily staffed by veterans. That said, I do shop at both. Since I live in a border town, I can go across the line into VA and only pay 5% sales tax versus 9.5% in TN. I have a Lowe's about ten minutes from my house in TN, and go there in a emergency. If I have time to plan a project out, though, and it is going to cost a few hundred bucks or more, I go to Home Depot in VA to save on taxes.
