Did I mention you could win?

GIVEAWAY

I chained you to your computer and forced you to count doors yesterday…but I forgot the best part.

Yeah.  It’s one awesome-meets-capiz frames-meets-bacon-meets-JeremyBowerDNA-kinda part.  except without all that other stuff.  didn’t make a whole lotta sense, did it?

Well, maybe this will explain it better than this feeble minded sleep-deprived mommy:

(You have no idea how funny it is to me to imagine all your faces looking at that first line with a giant gaping open mouth and squinty eyes.  Math is not my friend…and if you are catching flies in your mouth, apparently it’s not yours either.  All which makes for a hilarious mental picture.)

Seriously though – HOME DEPOT (the sellers of Kwikset door locks) is offering up FIFTY BIG ONES for one lucky ducky!  Here’s all the details:

  • PRIZE : $50 Gift Card to Home Depot to purchase your choice of Kwikset locks
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS : One (1)
  • TO ENTER : Leave a comment with the phrase “Fifty for a Kwikie” and then let’s share about home improvement stores…do you have a favorite?  Is it based on proximity to your house?  or product preference?  or what?
  • PRIZE SHIPS : To anyone who can get stuff on Homedepot.com (!!!)
  • NITTY GRITTY :  This giveaway ends on Good Friday, April 6th at 8am EDT.  Only one contest entry per email address.  The winners will be chosen using Random.org and emailed directly to claim their prize.

  1. Fifty for a quickie! We use Home Depot or Lowe’s because they are in closest proximity to us and are large enough to meet most of our DIY needs. 🙂

  2. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Definitely Home Depot because they’re practically right across the street from my house!

  4. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love Home Depot, of course! My kids love the Saturday morning projects that they offer monthly!

  5. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”
    I like Home Depot and Lowes, but HD employees at our local store tend to be very friendly. Both stores have nice folks, but the HD people always ask about my son, my projects, if they can give any extra help. Plus, my little guy is in love with orange, so it makes him extra happy to go to Home Depot.

  6. Fifty for a Kwikie
    Believe it or not Home Depot is my favorite home improvement store. I actually drive an extra 10 min to get to the Depot.

  7. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home Depot and Lowes are my go-to home improvement stores…mostly because they’re so convenient to my house!

  8. Fifty for a Kwikie – I like Lowes, mostly because my Sister works in the Admin office so I get a 10% discount on everything. 🙂

  9. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!!

    We just bought a new house. The first time we walked into Home Depot it was a MAJOR meltdown – fighting in the aisles, disagreeing on what is the better buy / brand / paint / etc. Now we go in with a list and things seem to be going much better. Home Depot is our place…as long as we have a list…oh and our Home Depot credit card.

  12. Fifty for a kwikie! We always go to home depot bc its so conovenient. And this gift card could help a lot with the patio we are putting in our back yard!

  13. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”

    Home Depot holds a special place in my heart… my dad used to drag me there multiple times a week when I was in middle school.

  14. Fifty for a Kwikie! I’m partial to Home Depot just because it’s right down the street.

  15. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”

    We’ve lived in our house for over a 1 1/2 years now and still haven’t gotten around the changing the locks either (but we only have 3 to change! Hello, lazy!)

  16. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot is my jam!! Better selection, better prices, and right around the corner. I’d kiss Home Depot if he’d let me 😉

  17. Fifty for a kwikie! We like Lowes well enough, but Home Depot is closer to home so we almost always end up there!

  20. Fifty for a Kwikie….
    Home Depot is my go to home improvement store, maybe because its so close to my house

  21. Fifty for a Kwikie! No real favorite… whatever is most convenient and better value. Ace Hardware is closest and I love customer service there, but they tend to be more pricey.

  22. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We switch off between Home Depot and Lowes… it all depends on what we’re looking for. 🙂

  23. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home depot is my favorite, very close to my office, was just there on my lunch break! We could use a new door lock.. its brass.. enough said.. 🙂

  24. Fifty for a Kwikie! Both Lowe’s and Home Depot are my go-to home improvement stores. Lowe’s is closer, but the people at Home Depot seem like they actually WANT to help me when I have a question. So extra points for HD! 🙂

  25. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love the Home depot actually… better then lowes because the people who work there ACTUALLY know what they are talking about, and way better then Ace since Ace is just So very small, they rarely have what I need.

  26. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I mostly go to Lowe’s because it’s closest and often a little cheaper, but it really depends on the product. Some things I can only find at HD and when I ordered my new kitchen counters, the people at Home Depot did a much better job than those I initially tried to order from at Lowe’s and it was a much better price!

  27. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We use Home Depot, mostly because it’s close. Though we do go to Mennards for some stuff if it’ll be cheaper.

  28. fifty for a kwikie!

    by far, my favorite home improvement was painting our oaky kitchen cabinets to white (thanks to S&J when they did their phone consultations!). we get compliments all the time 🙂

  29. Fifty for a Kwikie

    We love Home Depot and Lowe’s. They are both equidistant from our house and offer good pries. Generally we go where we have a gift card!

  30. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Canadian Tire is my go-to place, but only because I live in downtown toronto and it is downtown AND on the subway line. Doesnt quite fit with Home Depot’s massive store directive! But I do love HD when I get a chance to get a ride to one!

    My dad and I spent an interesting afternoon at Home Depot staring at tile and having no idea what we were doing until Tyler the Tiler came to our aid!! Great customer service

  31. fifty for a kwike…
    home depot is my man’s choice…so much so that when i have to go and pick up something he needs, they know me. and i’m not talking a small town we live in….

  32. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot fo sho. Although, I generally fail at everything I bring home.

  33. Fifty for a Kwikie

    Not to suck up but Home Depot is by far my fave! Lowes is so much closer to my house but the service is SO much better at Home Depot that I drive the extra 15 minutes, especially in making a female DIYer not feel stupid! Thanks!

  34. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love Lowes & Home Depot, sometimes Ace for those hard-to-find drill bits for my dremel (1/32″)! Lowes has a better design aspect, Home Depot has a better kitchen cabinet selection (we’re in the market), and Ace…has my hard to find dremel bits lol.

  35. Fifty for a Kwikie – Our local Home Depot closed so now I have to drive about 45 minutes to the next closest location (boohoo)!

  38. Fifty for a Kwikie. For some reason I love the “mom and pop” hardware stores. This may sound wierd but I love the smell of the smaller stores as well as the one on one customer service. Sometimes, I do “cheat” on them for a better deal and bigger selection at places like home Depot and Lowes. Of those two HD is my fav.

  39. Fifty for a Kwikie! I like Ace because DS likes to watch the paint being mixed and their machine is visible to him.

  40. Fifty for a Kwikie! Whichever store is on the way to where I’m heading! 🙂 Convenience is key.

  41. Oh boy! I love all of them? That’s a cop out, I know! The customer service at Lowes has always been excellent. But I love Behr paint, and you can only get that at Home Depot. And I moved to the midwest a few years ago and discovered Menards, which is really a catch all. Seriously, they sell everything! And it’s very inexpensive. Like, cheaper than dirt.

  42. I’m a fan of our local store – McLean Hardware. The people there are always so nice and helpful!

  43. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”
    We use Home Depot because it’s close to the house, but it also always seems to have what we want/need. We’ve tried other stores in close towns, but they just never pull thru for us like Orange!

  44. Fifty for a Kwikie – (oops, sorry forgot about that in my previous post) I’m a fan of our local store – McLean Hardware. The people there are always so nice and helpful!

  45. Fifty for a Kwikie. I grew up in the Midwest and lived very close to a Menards. They had great prices and offered rebates often. Now that I’ve moved West to the Mountains, there’s no Menards here, I frequent Home Depot (and very occasionally Lowe’s) for all my home improvement needs.

  46. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    We go to Lowes more often, but prefer Home Depot (the nearest HD is about an hour away).

  47. Fifty for a quickie!!

    We have a Lowes and a HD both pretty close by. We frequently shop at both-it just depends on what we need and who has the best price!

  49. Fifty for a Kwikie

    Mt home improvement stores are a mixture of ghetto-creative-inspired-cheap-but-has-lots-of-potential-when-painted kind of thang. My husband and I always check out Goodwill for decor and furniture, I love Michaels when it comes to doing a craft or sprucing up some decor we already own, and World Market for all of the rest… well actually I just like to go to World Market and drool on everything. One day when we own a home I can picture us making a lot of trips to Home Depot for random DIY projects though!

  51. Fifty for a Kwikie – We favor Home Depot, since it’s much closer to our house than a Lowes.

  52. fifty for a kwickie! I love Home Depot! But not the one by my house….so I drive 20 extra minutes to the next closest one that is a 100x better! Even though there is a Lowes close by, I like Home Depot better. thanks!

  53. Fifty for a Kwikie
    Depends what i am shopping for. I do enjoy the big box stores, but i will search at each to decide what i am looking for. (they are conveniently located two doors down from one another, with walmart in the middle). i also like Ace TrueValue, and other local shops! Wheni t comes to paint, i’m pretty loyal to Sherwin Williams b/c they are cleveland based!

  54. Fifty for a Kwikie –

    I am not going to lie – I have a Lowe’s not but 2 miles from my house that I love…and go to all the time. We like the people a lot – they know us, I very rarely go anywhere else. Plus, besides Benjamin Moore paint, I tend to like Valspar, which is at Lowe’s. We do go to Home Depot on occasion because they sell a few DAP products that you can’t get anywhere else.

  55. Fifty for a Kwikie – I love that the people at Home Depot actually know what they are talking about…I wish they were closer…and they still sponsored Smoke 🙂

  56. Fifty for a Kwikie so I can spend it at Home Depot (my favorite home improvement store). Only I live in an apartment so I can’t spend it on a door lock because the apartment owner wouldn’t be happy. But I could use it towards a staple gun or a drill or several other power tools that I want. 🙂

  57. Fifty for a Kwikie! I am a Home Depot girl. Husband prefers Lowe’s. Somehow, we make it work! 🙂

  58. Fifty for a Kwikie…I love Home Depot. We just got our new carpet from there by martha stewart. It’s actually the same pattern your chose, except ours is Wild Turkey color. I love it 🙂

  59. Fifty for a Kwikie….I’m a Lowes Fan myself! Really need the handlesets, as I replaced on on the back of the house with the keypad (yes, I read your review!), and now need the other one (2) to match!

  60. Fifty for a kwikie! My favorite home improvement store is Home Depot! And it’s not even because that’s the prize I can win! HAHA They’re always so knowledgeable and quick to help! LOVE IT!

  61. Fifty for a Kwikie!!

    Home Depot is my favorite (used to work there part-time) but I like most all hardware type stores. There’s always something great for the house that I need!!

  62. Fifty for a Kwikie! I live in a small town so options are limited, but Home Depot is one of the few that we do have near us.

  63. Fifty for a kwikie! We used to prefer Lowe’s, but we have noticed the Home Depot near us takes much better care of the plants they sell(as in they actually water them). So now we are loyal to HD.

  64. FIFTY FOR A QUICKIE! My favorites are Home Depot and Lowes. I like each for different reasons. Thanks for a great giveaway!

  65. Fifty for a Kwikie.

    I’m an equal-opportunity hardware store gal. I like Lowe’s for light fixtures and decorative stuff, we go to the Depot for lumber and paint and will swing by Ace for a quick pick-ups.

  66. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I’m totally a Home Depot girl. I love them! I’ve tried Lowe’s & Ace as well, & they can be great in certain circumstances, but my default home improvement store will always be Home Depot. It’s in my blood! 🙂

  67. Fifty for a Kwikie

    Home Depot and Lowe’s are literally across the parking lot from each other in my neck of the woods! I usually go to Home Depot first because the sales staff is so knowledgeable and friendly. It’s like a ghost town at Lowe’s and it takes forever to find someone to answer a question!

  68. Fifty for a Kwikie! Not sure which one is my favorite, we get our first house Friday the 6th!!!

  71. Fifty for a Kwikie….usually Home Depot. It’s close to my house and can usually find what I am looking for.

  72. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I love the Ace Hardware near my house — it’s close enough to walk and always great for those random things I find myself needing!

  74. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I don’t have a favorite, it’s usually depends on what project we’re doing and what we’re looing for.

  75. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Our favorite home improvement store is based on proximity to our house and cost. We have a small one super close that is always at least double what Home Depot is, so its worth the extra drive to Home Depot.

  76. Fifty for a Kwikie

    Home Depot is closest, but I was a Lowes fan before we moved here.

  77. Fifty for a Kwikie

    It’s an even split between Lowe’s and Home Depot. They’re equidistant from my house so I usually end up at whichever one is closest to wherever else I am going for the day. Though, I have spent a lot of time at Home Depot within the last couple of weeks since they had the edging stone and plants I needed for some landscaping projects going on around here.

  78. Fifty for a Quickie! I’ll go to either Lowes or Home Depot… though I do like the mom and pop hardware stores as well.

  80. Fifty for a Kwikie

    When I used to live in the “city”, I loved me some Home Depot…. but since we’ve move to the “country”, the closest home improvement store within a 5 county radius is Lowe’s…. but that doesn’t mean that I can’t shop at Home Depot via the awesomeness of the Internet!

  81. Fifty for a Kwikie
    I go back and forth between Home Depot and Lowes because we have one of each nearby, both the same distance from our house (and in the same direction no less!)

  83. Fifty for a Kwikie. I live in the boonies so my favorite home improvement store is the local hardware store that is 10 minutes from my house. They usually have what we are needing and we don’t have to pay too much more than at the big box stores.

  84. Fifty for a Kwikie – We like Home Depot or Lowes. But we go to Lowes more often cuz it’s right across the street from where we live.

  85. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I like HD and Lowes, and in my community they are literally on the same block, so they are both super convenient. Lowes staff seems to be a little bit more helpful, in my opinion 🙂

  86. Fifty for a Kwikie – I like home depot – mainly because they’re so close to my house

  87. Fifty for a Kwikie – Home Depot is actually my favorite home improvement store. I always compare prices between Home Depot, Lowes, and Menards, but always find myself back at Home Depot.

  88. Fifty for a Kwikie! – I think each of the stores have their strengths. I love Home Depot’s gardening center, but we go to Menard’s a lot since it’s a regional chain, and they have amazing rebates constantly.

  89. FIFTY FOR A QUICKIE! HD is my favorite home improvment store, I’m there just about every other day! BTW April 6 is my birthday!!!

  91. Fifty for a Kwikie…
    I live on an island and all we have is Home Depot (in condensed version) and some smaller family run hardware stores, so typically it is Home Depot to the rescue.

  93. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I like both. Though I find Home Depot tends to carry items with finishes that are a bit more modern than Lowes. We have 2 or 3 of each store in town so I tend not to stress if something is sold out…somewhere will have it.

  94. Fifty for a Kwikie – while we most frequent the stores closest to us (HD and Menards), I think we love shopping at the little-local stores the most! They always seem to really care and go out of their way to make it a good experience, and that really helps when you sometimes have to spend some major moolah!

  95. Fifty for a Kwikie – We use Lowe’s or Home Depot depending on where else we have to go as they are on opposite sides of the city.

  96. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    My favorite is Menards, which is a regional store… I can be there and back in less than 15 minutes. But my second favorite is Home Depot, which is where we go when we need a little more advice.

  97. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    we frequent the Depot a lot, because its closest to our house. and since we’re slowly making over every room in our house, we’re there quite a lot!
    i REALLY want new hardware for my front door so this would be AWESOME to win 🙂

  98. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE

    We like Home Depot…i guess because we’re used to it! In college there used to be this great neighborhood hardware store…but I guess those just don’t exist anymore…boo

  99. Fifty for a kwikie! Lowes is where we shop, but only because it is closer to our house ….

  100. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We go to Home Depot – my husband likes them better, plus I was really peeved at Lowes and the whole pulling their advertising from the “All American Muslim” show due to right-wing “Christian” pressure.

  103. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home Depot because we’re moving and they have the best boxes!

  107. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot and Lowe’s are my go-to home improvement stores, convenience is key!

  109. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    Oh I have been drooling over these Kwikset door locks! We really need new ones so thank you for the giveaway! Personally we as a family LOVE home depot! There are two near our house, but we would drive far to get to one if we had to! They always have everything we need!

  110. Fifty for a Kwikie! Definitely by proximity because it’s usually because there’s been some sort of toilet (or similarly epic) disaster. For us, that’s Home Depot.

  112. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I’m an HD girl, all the way! I love browsing the lighting and tile sections. I usually leave with at least 10 paint chips…..It’s an addiction.

  115. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!
    HD & Lowe’s are my go-to’s, mostly b/c I know I can find anything I need at either of them, and if I can’t find something at one, the other is next door and I can quickly run over there.

  116. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I like Home Depot. It’s about the same distance away as Lowes, but over the years I’ve found that the sales associates are HD are friendlier, more knowledgeable and eager to help.

    Just tracking down a sales associate at Lowes can be a challenge.

  117. Fifty for a Kwikie!! Home Depot is my jam; one of the most dangerous stores for me!!

  118. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE! We usually go to Home Depot because they seem to have lower prices than Lowes. But I love Allen + roth products at Lowes, we go to both!

  119. fifty for a kwikie!

    We have a Lowes and Home Depot directly across from each other. But when I realized that Home Depot had Martha Stewart products…we became loyal Home Depoters!

  121. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot is right around the corner from us! Very convenient!

  122. Fifty for a kwikie!
    We are all about proximity for easy stuff an selection for big projects! Lowes and Home Depot usually have anything we need. (except rubbed oil bronze plates to update our pocket doors brass plates)!

  123. Fifty for a Kwikie! I’m a loyal customer to Home Depot mainly because it’s always been in my life before Lowe’s came. Also Home Depot is like right down the street, yay! This giveaway couldn’t have happened at a better time because we’re in need for a new lock.

  124. Fifty for a Kwikie!!

    Home depot is closest to us so we just price match, if we need to.

  125. Fifty for a Kwikie! I LOVE Home Depot! They have everything I need, so much so that I take the ferry from the BVI to the USVI when I need supplies for my apartment. No where else in this region is better stocked or well priced.

  126. Fifty for a Kwikie! I usually try to check prices online before I shop, even for hardware store stuff. So whoever has the best price is my favorite!

  128. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I usually spend my $ at all of them, but mostly Lowes because we have a lowes card. Ace Hardware is also nice for quick runs because it’s just down the road from my house.

  129. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I mainly go to Home Depot because it’s closer but I also go to Lowes just to mix it up. Thanks for the giveaway!

  131. Fifty for a Kwikie!! I’m fortunate to live near a whole host of home improvement stores, from Ace and True Value to Lowe’s and Home Depot – it’s great. So I’m able to scope out the best price on things before I make purchases.

  132. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot is our closest option – and who doesn’t love kids workshop on the first Saturday of the month?? Tots in tiny ornage aprons = ah.may.zing.

  133. 50 for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot is definitely our go-to store at the moment and it’s definitely based on proximity. They’re great too of course, but after getting our first house (last Friday) we had our list of things we needed to buy and just mapped a route to the closest home improvement store to our new house. We’ve been back 3 times since and it looks like a fourth trip is on the docket this weekend.

    Funnily enough, on our first list of things? New exterior locks! We bought the exact same brand, model, and finish as your new front door set. 🙂 We opted for a brushed nickle finish for the garage since it’s so close to the kitchen and I’m hoping to change all the hardware in there to brushed nickle. And of course we rekeyed the garage lock so it works on the same key as the front door lock. Exciting! 😀

    Our downside though is that the existing front door lock set holes did not line up with the new set. We had to drill a new hole for the bottom, and that…did not go smoothly. Ha. The interior hole was in the right place but my guy didn’t drill through straight so the screw didn’t line up to the handle once it got outside. It took 2-3 more drillings to get it right. Oops! At least the washer and decorative screw plate covered that up!

  134. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I always go to Home Depot. It helps that our church, grocery store, and Home Depot are all on the same street, so running errands are a breeze.

    There’s a Menards on that same street too – and we always stop in when they have a sale on spray paint.

  135. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love Lowes just because it makes me happy but Home Depot is where I go most often since I can easily find what I want and it is so much closer to my house.

  136. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I love the HD near our house. However, I also really enjoy the Lowes that is on the other side of town. I’ll happily shop at either, depending on where I am running errands that day!

  137. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Both Home Depot and Lowe’s are my go-to home improvement stores! And both have a store within 15mins from my house. I like that they both have different selections. So if if one doesn’t have what I’m looking for, chances are, the other one does! 🙂

  138. Fifty for a Kwikie! 🙂

    I like home depot best…they seem to have the stuff that I can’t find at the more-convenient-closer-to-where-i-live-and-shop Lowe’s. 🙂

  139. Fifty for a Kwikie
    We are a Home Depot household! We just finished a basement remodel and Home Depot was more than helpful! Still have some finishing touches to add though!

  141. 50 for a kwikie – Lowes is closer to our home so that’s usually where we go, but we’ve purchased a few light fixtures and new toilets from Home Depot.

  142. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!
    We typically shop at Menards, because it’s close by, anything else is a 30 minute drive and what can I say…I’m lazy… 🙂

  143. Fifty for a Kwikie – Home Depot for supplies, tools, paint, etc. but Lowe’s for more decorative home things like lamps, fans, and flooring.

  144. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot for sure. It’s close to our house and has a better selection of stuff that we use on a regular basis! 🙂

  145. Fifty for a Kwikie, I can walk to the Depot from our condo 🙂 We like to buy our Christmas Tree there too.

  147. ”Fifty for a Kwikie” – I love going to little independely run shops, but for big box ones HD or Lowes – doesn’t matter to me!

  148. Fifty for a Kwikie – I’m equal opportunity, Lowe’s and Home Depot are the same distance from the house.

  149. Fifty for a Kwikie – Even thought it might sound like I’m saying this to sway things, Home Depot is my fave. I don’t really know why, I just usually end up there instead of Lowe’s even though they’re about the same distance for me!

  150. “Fifty for a kwikie”

    Went to HD by myself this weekend for the first time – I definitely appreciated all the help provided!

  151. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I am an orange girl all the way, Home Depot was there before Lowes and is still the closest. I just love wandering and discovering new things even though I don’t actually own a home.

  152. Fifty for a Kwikie
    Home Depot for it’s proximity and service although I did snag my nursery paint at Lowes because of a sale they were holding last 4th of July… SHHH… don’t tell Home Depot I cheated on them!

  153. ”Fifty for a Kwikie” I tend to hit up whatever store happens to be the closest when I realize we need something. It is also largely determined by what store I happen to have a coupon to! Great giveaway, keeping my fingers crossed!

  154. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I don’t have a home improvement story yet, because we still have yet to buy a house. Still living in an apartment 🙁

  155. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I love Home Depot, but I usually have to go to Menards or Lowe’s because they’re closer to home.

  156. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!

    I prefer Lowes for paint, plants, and appliances and Home Depot lights and outdoor landscaping items like rocks and mulch. Or rather – the one that is having the best sale! 🙂

  158. Fifty for a Kwikie.

    I’m partial to Lowe’s mostly because they’re closest to me, but I also like that the interior feels a bit nicer.

  159. Fifty for a Kwikie – We like both Lowes and Home Depot, but Lowes is slightly closer with a Nordstrom Rack located across the street, so that tends to be my first choice when my husband says we need to go. But the folks at our Home Depot seem to always offer the best advice and assistance, so if we need help we go to the Depot.

  160. Fifty for a Kwikie!! I love Home Depot, it’s close and always has great service. I’m not gonna lie the hubby and I frequent Home Hardware and Canadian Tire (both are closer!) too.

  161. Fifty for a Kwikie

    we are definitely a Home Depot fam. my husband holds a grudge against Lowes. 😉

  162. Fifty for a Kwikie! My fave hardware store is a local one. They are always so patient with me.

  163. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I definitely go with proximity! Home Depot is the closest big store, so that’s where I go for most things. There’s a tiny Ace Hardware about two blocks away, so I go there for my quick hardware store needs. I love shopping as locally as possible, and the guy who’s always working there remembers me whenever I come in. It’s great!

  165. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!

    I never had a preference until I was in Lowes last week. I was using a horribly loud and squeaky cart and a nice salesperson brought me a new cart without me even asking! Now that is service.

  166. Fifty for a Kwikie – I like both Home Depot and Lowes. We’ve been doing a lot of updating lately, and let me tell you, we’re constantly shop both… I also love Kwikset – we have them on the front door.

  167. Fifty for a Kwikie! Lowe’s is just slightly closer to us, so we often find ourselves going there lately… but Home Depot is only 2 more minutes down the street, so they both get some love from us!

  168. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I love Home Depot of course! I actually love them even more in the spring time – they have the best plant/flower selection!

  169. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”

    I like Home Depot because it smells like lumber….and it makes me feel like I am doing “hard work and I am tough” just by being there. Weird? I know. Lowe’s makes me feel girly and its nicer. So depending on my mood…I can go to either. (They are across the street from each other)

    Thanks for the giveaway post!

  170. Fifty for a Kwikie… at this point my favorite home improvement store is based on location to my house. Homedepot it is! They also happen to usually have the best prices.

  171. Fifty for a Kwickie!

    My husband’s family owns a home improvement store, so that would be my fave… but we live hours away, so locally, it’s a tie between Home Depot and Lowes.

  172. ”Fifty for a Kwikie!” About a year ago my husband and I moved to a new house with a Home Depot very close. We had never shopped the Depot before, but it is quickly becoming our go to place for home improvement. We purchased our unfinished in stock cabinets for our kitchen remodel there because the quality of their cabinets was much better than the unfinished cabinets at Lowes and Menards. Because of the kitchen remodel we have been making lots of stops for this and that and the Depot hasn’t let us down yet!

  174. Fifty for a Kwikie. My husband and I put our own laminate flooring down in our last house. This gift card would be great to buy new locks for a house we currently have an offer on – it’s a bankruptcy and we have no clue who may have what keys to current or past locks so we want to get all new ones! Thanks for sharing!

  175. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    Depends on the product, but I’m a fan of Home Depot and Lowe’s pretty equally. HD usually has a better lumber selection, and I tend to like their paint swatches, but I prefer Valspar’s quality of paint. Customer service is better at Home Depot in our area too most of the time.

  176. Fifty for a Kwikie! I usually end up at Lowe’s but I moved to MN last summer and I’m finding that Home Depot is the go-to around here so this gift card would be put to good use. And, not to mention, I just bought a house last week (!!) and it needs a little love, even if in the form of awesome door locks. Fingers crossed!

  177. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!

    I love all home improvement items since we just bought a 30 year old house! =)

  180. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!

    I know it’s not good manners, but I love HD & Lowes. Lowes is closer to my house, but I’ve always loved perusing HD more. Maybe it’s the orange color?

  181. Fifty for a Kwikie!!
    Home Depot is for sure the favorite, and where we buy all our paint no questions! But Menards is much much closer, so we make a lot of smaller quick trips there.

  182. Fifty for a Kwikie–I’m all about convenience so I go to Lowes, but I’d love to switch it up!

  183. Fifty for a Kwikie – my favorite lately has been Home Depot. I think they have better prices!

  184. Fifty for a Kwikie. I like Lowes and Home Depot. They are both down the street and right across the street from each other.

  185. Fifty for a Kwikie!! I prefer Lowe’s for the “fun” stuff (lights, fixtures, etc), but Home Depot for all tools legit building supplies.

  186. Fifty for a Kwikie! I’m one of those people that has to shop everywhere before a purchase, so Lowe’s and HD are visited equal amounts, unless I’m in a time crunch, then HD bc it’s closer.

  187. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I’m a Home Depot girl all the way! Employees are always so helpful even when I’m getting paint mixed at 10pm which has happened more than once 🙂

  188. Fifty for a Kwikie! We go back and forth between the big blue store and the big orange store depending on what we’re looking for. There is a sweet little man from church that works for Home Depot so I tend to go there to see him. Funny story…two Christmases ago, I purchased a smoker for my husband at Home Depot, and I knew he’d have to help me get it out of the car. BUT I didn’t want him to find out what it was…so I wrapped it in the middle of the aisle at Home Depot. The workers were really helpful, and they didn’t even act like I was (too) crazy. Ha!

  189. Fifty for a kwikie! I like home depot we have a lowes equally close but maybe it’s the orange? I am a Tennessee girl after all!!

  190. Fifty for a Kwikie!!! We like Lowes and Home Depot equally–they both give my husband Military discount–which is really nice when you need to save a few bucks! We frequently shop at Home Depot, though, because it is the closest of the two. The closest Lowes is an hour away!

  191. “Fifty for a Kwikie”
    I am a Home Depot kind of gal. They have such great employees there….always very helpful.

  192. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot floats my boat. Sometimes we go when we don’t really need anything, just to look around and pet the tile and watch ceiling fans spin. (Boy that sounds like we’re tripping on acid or something- I promise we’re not!)

  194. Fifty for a Kwikie!!

    We always go to Lowes because they are located in better areas of our town. We have bought items (like our patio set) at Home Depot and I’m not opposed to shopping HD, but A) they seem more construction-y and less retail-y which i don’t love and B) we only have 2 locations and they are on crappy sides of town. So all that to say, if the HD was located where the Lowe’s was i would probably split my shopping between the two…

  196. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I am an equal opportunity Lowe’s and Home Depot shopper, as they are right across the street from one another. I do have a Home Depot 10 minutes in either direction from my house though, so I probably go there slightly more often.

  198. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We live down the street from a True Value Store, called Fragers! It’s our fave because its convenient and the employees are super helpful!

  200. Fifty for a Kwikie! Love for Home Depot, near work and home, and is open when we run out of wall anchors, roller covers, lightbulbs…..

  201. FIFTY FOR A KIWKIE!!!!! My fav is Ace because it’s so close to our house and I have to drive what seems like forever (and I live IN the city) to get to HD or Lowes. If they all sat side by side 50 yards from my house though. . I’d choose Home Depot. 🙂

  202. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Lately I’ve been going to Home Depot (we just purchased our first house) since it’s closer. I’ve found that the employees are much friendlier than they are at Lowe’s and I like their paint selection better.

  203. Fifty for a Kwikie – I love Home Depot! I love the Behr paint product selection in their stores- it’s so affordable and we love the quality!

  204. Fifty for a Kwikie!!

    We shop anywhere and everywhere…lots of home improvements going on at our house, so we shop around!!

  205. Fifty for a Kwikie! I usually go to Lowes or Home Depot, just depends on what I’m looking for!

  206. Fifty for a Kwikie. Sorry, Home Depot, but I prefer Lowe’s. But the one on 13th Street, not the one on Archer Road. 😉

  208. “Fifty for a Kwickie” I’m more of a Lowe’s person, probably because it is the only one in my hometown. But…….when in a bigger town/city/metropolis, I do have to visit Home Depot because they do have some different things and sometimes better prices!

  210. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home Depot for sure… it’s more convenient and we find the prices are lower for most things.

  211. Fifty for a Kwikie–We like making a “kwikie” stop at Home Depot because you can be in and out in less than 10 minutes…more time for DIY-ing:)

  213. Fifty for a Kwikie – we go to Home Depot or Lowe’s, depending on our mood at the moment 😀

  214. Fifty for a Kwikie! You know, I thought I’d like Lowes better, but I always check both Lowes and Home Depot, and Home Depot wins way more than Lowes! Go Orange!

  215. Fifty for a Kwikie!! We normally go to Lowe’s because it is closer but I recently went to Home Depot to look at tile for my mom’s bathroom and they had a way better selection! Thanks for the giveaway!

  216. Fifty for a Kwikie – I love both Home Depot & Lowes. Lowes sometimes has lower prices but for some reason I prefer HD. I think its the Orange….lol

  217. Fifty for a Kwikie! I usually prefer lowes, especially for paint. For a while I stopped going to home depot because they teamed up with a water softner company that would hassle me everytime I was any where near the plumbing section trying to sell me a $5000, yes five thousand dollar, water softner. And when I would refuse they would begin to tell me about their payment program. Like I want to pay interest on a water softner system when I can buy a perfectly fine water softner in the store for less than $500. Super annoying and words of advice, never sign up for the free gift card at the store the same company will hassle you over the phone too! *rant over*

  218. Fifty for a Kwikie – we use home depot. It’s next to a great fabric store, so we can often combine project shopping into one trip.

  219. Fifty for a Kwikie- We usually shop at the Home Depot- because that is the closest and they have the best selection. BUT- Also because they have the best employees- I always meet the nicest employees at Home Depot- they are always able to help me with what I need!

  221. Fifty for a Kwikie! We love Home Depot– they’re close and they always help us when we have NO idea how to fix something!

  222. Fifty for a kwikie! Gotta love HD! My daughter thinksnthat every time my husband leaves the house he is headed to home depot. 🙂

  223. Fifty for a Kwikie

    Home Depot is really my favorite. Chase Pitkin used to be but it is no longer with us. 🙁

  224. Fifty for a Kwikie! I usually prefer Home Depot because they tend to be a bit more knowledgeable when I have projects that are new to me. I don’t feel like they are just trying to sell me on the most expensive thing in the department.

    I have three exterior doors on the house we’re building, and I’d LOVE to use Kwikie locks on them so I don’t have to carry extra keys. Please pick me!

  225. Fifty for a Kwikie

    Definitely Home Depot because I find they often have the best deals!

  227. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I like Home Depot because it is about a 2 minute drive from my house. They also have lots of Martha Stewart stuff, and Behr paint, both of which I’m addicted to. I meander over to Ace when I’m going to the super market for produce because it’s next door, especially if I need something a little more boutique-y, like the screw-ended hooks for Christmas lights on our balcony. Apparently Home Depot only carries brass ones.

  228. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I love Home Depot for everything! We just bought four interior doors and handles from there. This summer we’re planning on renovating the bathroom and kitchen, all with stuff from HD!

  229. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I usually shop at Lowes because it’s closer, but I like Home Depot too!

  231. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home Depot is 3 minutes away, so we go there for almost everything…

  233. FIFTY for a KWIKIE!

    I have a HD and a L’s directly across the street from each other. I like them both and simply go to where the sale is!

  234. Fifty for a kwikie! I love home improvement stores but they are the biggest time suck. I can look and dream for hours and it feels like minutes.

  235. FIFTY for a KWIKIE love me some lowes and home depot both! visit which ever one blows my hair back that day

  236. Fifty for a kwikie! I am equal opportunity when it comes to home improvement stores. I have found great stuff at Home Depot and Lowe’s and also like to stop in Ace from time to time.

  237. Fifty for a Kwikie

    We usually go to home depot, but i love going to our neighborhood Ace, Everyone is always so friendly and helpful (it’s a family run store) And it reminds me of the hardware store we used to have in my town that sold penny candy, pop in bottles and would fix your screen door while you caught up on the town gossip.

  239. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I like the mom & pop hardware stores as the staff are usually very friendly and they are helpful when I have questions.

  241. Fifty for a Kwikie! We have both a Home Depot and a Lowe’s within a few miles. I’d say we usually hit up Lowe’s more often, but were just in Home Depot the other day. So, I guess it depends on what other shopping needs to be done at the time!

  242. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    We use Home Depot mostly bc it’s the closest to our house, but for big purchases we price shop both HD and Lowe’s.

  244. Fifty for a Kwikie- we heart Menards (do they have those in the south?) It’s my husband’s man mall. While we were waiting to close on our house we spent many a date night roaming the isle’s of Menard’s concocting our reno plan.

  245. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I like Home Depot but thats because it’s about 5 minutes from my house and Lowes is more like 15. For lumber though we go to a local lumber supplier because the quality is WAY better than the big box stores.

  246. Fifty for a Kwikie! My husband and I grew up near Home Depots and live near one now. If only I could count the number of times I went there this weekend! As first time homeowners, we (and by ‘we’ I mean mostly ‘me’) are constantly changing/adding/tearing out! Love your blog!

  248. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We tend to shop at our local HD. Before children I worked there HD as a cashier…mmm-hmmm Cashier of the Year…TWICE!

  249. there is a Home Depot about a mile from our home, I love going there for a Kwikie! : )

  250. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We have a Lowe’s and a Home Depot that are equidistant from our house…so we just pick based on which direction we want to drive.

  252. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I like Lowes b/c to me they have cuter stuff. I got some really pretty shower curtains there and they have nice lighting. That being said…the BF shops at Home Depot regularly for work so we def shop at both!

  253. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot is actually my fave (though that might be becuase it’s so close to my house!) I’ve made friends with the guy that works in the key booth. I guess I lose my keys a lot 🙂

  254. Fifty for a Kwikie-HAHA! we usually go to Westlake b/c it is right down the street from our house. almost too convenient!

  255. Fifty for a Kwikie

    Any local hardware store. I try to stick local whenever possible.

  256. Fifty for a Kwikie. we live 2 minutes from DIY heaven… home depot, lowes, walmart, target, homegoods and bed bath and beyond! all right next to one another.

  257. Fifty for a kwikie!! I compulsively comparison shop between our three local stores: lowe’s, HD, and menard’s. I’m a fan of whoever has the best price for the item I need!

  258. Fifty for a Kwikie! Love Home Depot – it’s so easy to find everything I need!

  259. Fifty for a Kwikie – I like Lowes because it’s close to us, Home Depot because the staff in their electrical section rock, and the local True Value because it’s a small, friendly neighborhood store with good prices.

  260. Fifty for a Kwikie

    We love HD b/c it’s very close to our place and the one by us has very helpful staff. In fact, we just bought a grill from them this weekend!

  261. Fifty for a Kwikie!!

    We usually go to Home Depot because there are two pretty close to our house 🙂

  262. Fifty for a Kwikie

    we always go to home depot. we feel that have the best selection.

  263. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Honestly it depends on what I’m buying and how much advice I need from the sales staff. I usually hit up a small local hardware store if I need how-to help.

  264. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I think Ace does the best job of explaining how to best tackle projects and different options for doing so. However, their prices are higher so I tend to try to balance shopping there with some of the bigger places like Home Depot and Lowe’s.

  265. Fifty for a Kwikie! I like Home Depot for their tools and Lowe’s for their eye candy.

  266. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home Depot is my favorite for no reason other than it’s the one I grew up going to, so I think I just mentally think it’s better 🙂 Although we probably go to ACE Hardware or Wal-Mart more, because we live in the boonies and don’t feel like driving 30 Mins to Home Depot… Although I certainly am willing to 🙂

  267. Fifty for a kwikie!
    We <3 Home Depot because we're cheapskates and can usually find a better deal!

  268. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I prefer Home Depot but Lowes is closer to my house. I also frequent True Value a lot too! I need to fix a door in my bathroom that is wonky…

  269. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”

    I get better service at my Lowes but we still go to HD sometimes out of habit.

  271. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I hit up the Ace for most of the little stuff the “I forgot” stuff because its super close. But otherwise I like Home Depot. I feel like they have a great selection and I usually find what I’m looking for.

  272. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!

    I’m a home improvement store whore … I’ll shop them all. I like Lowes because it is “nicer” to shop at as far as the whole look of the store is concerned, but Home Depot has had better prices (in our specific needs), but we also mix it up with Menards and Ace. Sometimes we go to all of them on the same weekend to comparison shop.

  273. fifty for a kwikie! My favorite is home depot, I’d have to say I think their customer service is better than my local Lowe’s.

  274. Fifty for a Kwikie! I am a Lowe’s shopper, mainly because it is about 3 minutes closer than Home Depot. 🙂

  275. Fifty for a Kwikie! 🙂 I like them all …. I like to switch it up … you know, just to keep things interesting! 😉

  276. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I am a Lowe’s fan. I will still go to Home Depot because it is closer to my house, but Lowe’s has just always been a favorite of mine. Could be because I built my beer pong table back in college from Lowe’s lumber and it did me well lol 🙂

  277. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    HD has great customer service. I always get lost and appreciate help from the guys and gals in the orange aprons.

  279. Fifty for a Kwikie! Love all my home improvement stores but since Menards is but a stone’s throw from my abode, that’s where I usually spend my bucks. But I’ll have to make a trip out to Home Depot if I win!

  280. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!

    I am all about shopping locally if possible. So we head downtown to support a friend of ours who owns a hardware store if we need paint, hardware (duh), or other small DIY supplies. Then we head to our local lumber yard for everything else! 🙂

  282. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I’m a Lowe’s gal, largely because it is 1.5 miles from my house, while Home Depot is probably 10-15 miles. I also prefer the Lowe’s blue color over Home Depot. For Real. It matters.

  283. Fifty for a Kwikie! Truthfully, my favorite is Home Depot. Love the prices, the selection and the help I can get there. Can’t be beat!

  285. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!! The good ol’ Local Ace Hardware! I totally thought it was local only to my hometown until I saw a sitcom and they were wearing Ace Hardware tool aprons. Fail.

  286. Fifty for a Kwikie – we always go to Lowe’s because it was almost literally next door to our last subdivision and even after our recent move, it’s still much closer than Home Depot. Proximity wins out for us!

  287. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love ALL home improvement stores, but in our tiny town we just have True Value and Ace…so they duke it out for my dollars most often.

  288. Fifty for a Kwikie! We like Lowes because it is easier to get to and has awesome sales and pretty, pretty plants!!

  293. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I have gotten to where I always go to Home Depot because the employees are sooo helpful and will literally walk me through simple projects step-by-step (which is much appreciated by this DIY newbie!). Also, our local Home Depot recently launched an amazing monthly ladies’ night program where they provided free Chik-Fil-A dinner and classes on everything from dry wall repair to painting to gardening to any women in the community who sign up. I love attending and make a special effort to shop there as my little way of saying thanks for their efforts to reach out to all of us ladies who have a mile long list of projects but are still a little intimidated by a drill :).

  294. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!

    I love Lowe’s products more but am way closer to two different Home Depots.

  296. Fifty for a Kwikie…we go to Home Depot or Lowes depending on what we’re buying. I prefer HD for the repair stuff and Lowes for the decor stuff.

  297. Fifty for a Kwikie!!! We go to both Home Depot and Lowes – they carry different brands of products so we usually always scope them both out. Sometimes one will have better plant selections than the other.

  298. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Our home improvement store preference is definitely based on location. I shop at Home Depot regularly since there are 3 within a 10 minute drive of our home! We can pretty much find anything we need there. Although for more decorative/designer-esqe stuff, we venture to either HomeGoods or Lowe’s which is a bit further away.

  300. Fifty for a Kwikie! Been a fan of Home Depot..ever since college where I’d have to go there every weekend for projects for classes. (Art major)

  301. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!

    I like both Lowe’s and Home Depot and they’re about the same distance from our house so we usually go to HD for things like lumber, etc and Lowes for things like fixtures and hardware. The other store my hubby loves is Harbor Freight… I think of it as the guy version of Home Goods. 🙂 We still buy name brand for things like table saws and drills but we’ve had great luck there with things like sand blasters, paint sprayers, etc… and for a fraction of the price! (I’d much rather walk around HD or Lowe’s though :-))

  302. Fifty for a Kwikie

    Lowes is closer, but Home Depot is usually cheaper. I prefer to shop at Home Depot, but usually go to Lowes for quick trips.

  303. “Fifty for a Kwikie” Our favorite home improvement stores are Lowe’s, Home Depot, and Stine (local store)!

  304. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I like Lowes for paint and small projects since it is closer to my home and I can pop in to pick something up. We choose Home Depot for our fencing needs and I am interested in their designer line.

  305. Fifty for Kwikie! My favorite home improvement store is Home Depot, duh. Did I win now?

  306. “Fifty for a Kwikie”

    We love menards for all of their free rebates and lowes because of the clearance items. We visit them almost everyday!

  308. Fifty for a Kwikie.
    I don’t really have a favorite home improvement store. We kind bounce around a lot.

  309. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I love Home Depot. I like the layout in the store more. But Lowes is a close second.

  310. Fifty for a Kwikie!… we tend to go to Lowe’s because it’s literally a quarter mile down the road, but we love Home Depot’s paint matching machine… it’s so accurate!

  311. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    Home Depot is the closest (my only a 1/2 mile), but it definitely has the better selection. Trust me, I’ve scoured both for the sake of ‘research; 😉

  312. Fifty for a Quikie!

    My favorite is our local Ace Hardware. (Though I’d kill for a True Value!)

  313. Fifty for a Kwikie…some stuff is better at L’s, some stuff is better at HD. just sayin’.

  314. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I love my local Ace Hardware it’s just 5 blocks from my house.

  315. Fifty for a Kwikie 🙂

    I love both stores for different items, but Home Depot has the formula for my one of my favorite paint colors. We just moved and have been at one or the other almost once a week.
    Thanks!

  316. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!

    Lowes & Home Depot are across the road from each other so it really depends on which one strikes our fancy for the day! If its something we need quick we go to Ace because its only 10 minutes from our house, the other two are 25-30 minutes depending on traffic!

  317. Fifty for a Kwikie, baby!

    One of our local stores has a greeter dude who is ALWAYS there and knows where EVERYTHING is. That, my lady friend, is priceless.

  321. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I’m a Home Depot kinda gal. I am in that store a few times a week. Sometimes -blush-I’ll go in ‘just to walk around’ and get a little exercise. True story.

  322. Fifty for a kwikie!

    We usually choose Home Depot cause it’s closer, and since we’re moving in a few weeks $50 would definitely come in handy.

  324. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home Depot is my “go-to” for everything home improvement related except I hit up Menards for landscaping.

  325. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!!
    oh boy, they all seem to get a little bit of my money………..but I’d have to say Lowes or Home D is my fav!

  328. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I have to be honest we usually shop at Lowe’s, but only because they are the closest. We have been known to drive to Home Depot though and definitely would make the trip to spend a $50 gift card!! 🙂

  330. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We go to Home Depot for almost everything, but hit up Lowes for decor items.

  331. Fifty for a Kwikie! We generally go to Lowes, but we’ll hit up Home Depot if we can’t find what we want/the right price occasionally. They are both about a mile from our house, so either one is pretty quick to get to.

  333. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We always go to Home Depot for our Christmas tree – but anything else, it depends on the items or the sales.

  334. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot is our go-to home improvement store because of their knowledgeable, friendly staff! I only wish they would carry more environmentally friendly products.

  335. Fifty for a Kwikie
    I actually like The Home Depot better Lowes is closer to me. The Home Depot is 30 minutes away while Lowes is 5minutes. But buying stuff online is even better:)

  337. Fifty for a Kwikie! I am in the process of buying kwikset levers for my new house so this money would REALLY come in handy! 🙂 I love lowes and HD both equally!

  339. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE! Home Depot…because its close to my house and I know where to find stuff there better than at Lowes.

  340. Fifty for a Kwikie!!

    Home Depot is a lot closer to our home – actually…there are 4 Home Depot’s near us that we frequent. Lowes is a bit further, but sometimes worth the trek for a good sale when we need something in particular.

  342. Fifty for a Kwikie! The eighties are asking for my door hardware back as well! I go to both stores because in our town they are just across the street from each other, so it just depends what mood I’m in.

  344. Fifty for a Kwikie! I am a Home Depot girl…especially when they have the kids projects on Saturdays. They always do such a great job.

  345. Fifty for a Quickie!

    We don’t have a Home Depot nearby so we usually go to Menards. I prefer shopping at Menards to Lowes, but sometimes Lowes has better products.

  346. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I love me some Lowes (as I feel like they have great clearance items) but Home Depot is literally right down the street.

  347. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot is my favorite – I just feel like it’s the happiest one. We live 1 mile from Ace, though, so we end up going there for all of the little things.

  348. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I worked at a Home Depot for a few months a couple years ago so I like them, but we have a Lowes giftcard from Christmas so we’ve been shopping there lately.

  349. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”

    I usually go to Home Depot because it is closer but I like to check out the prices at Lowes and Ace too!

  351. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!!

    As a kid in Germany I already loved to go to home improvement stores! Almost every week I joined my father on his trips when we were building our second house. Since I live in the U.S., I love that my husband shares the same passion. And to be honest, we have Lowes and Home Depot on our weekly list. I prefer to look at tiles, paint colors, and pressure washers more than going through the mall. Don’t get me wrong, I still love my shoes 😉
    We are definitely in need of a kwikie…- since we are about to close on our new house next week. yeah!

  352. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We usually do Lowes. It’s closer to our house and I have better luck with finding items on clearance.

  353. Fifty for a Kwikie!!

    I love Home Depot! But also support local hardware stores, too 🙂

  354. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!

    I prefer Home Depot (not just sayin’ that cause of this giveaway), but really, its cause it is so close to my house and with a 3 month old in tow that is convenient & easy for me! Plus I always shop there for home related things I need 🙂

  355. Fifty for a Kwikie! Since we only got a Lowes a couple of years ago, I prefer Home Depot just because I know where everything is.

  357. Fifty for a Kwikie! We are in the process of changing out all of our exterior and interior door knobs to Kwikset too! I thought changing out our locks was a daunting task, but we probably only have 14 doors in our whole house! Winning a gift card sure would help move the process along for us though!

  358. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We mostly go to Home Depot. Loving the fact its like literally .5 of a mile away from us! But we also go to Lowe’s, mostly because we had a gift card! Each have their pros and cons for different reasons. But would definitely be able to use that Home Depot gift card for some kwikies ASAP! About to be buying a new home!!! 🙂

  360. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I have a Home Depot & a Lowe’s in my town – but we typically go to Lowe’s b/c that one is closer to our house. Would still love a HD gift card though!!

  361. Fifty for a Kwikie! I have both Home Depot and Lowes right next to each other, but I usually end up at Lowes because it’s easier to get into their parking lot from my direction.

  362. Fifty for a Kwikie! We use Home Depot even though they are about the same distance as Lowes… They have awesome customer service and most times better prices 🙂

  363. Fifty for a Kwikie, please!

    Lowe’s and Home Depot are in my ‘hood. I like each for different things.

  364. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We were Lowe’s devotee’s until we moved and now we’re fully converted to Home Depot. But in a pinch we’re equal opportunity users. 🙂

  367. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!

    Their is a nice size mom and pop hardware store, Bombergers, near my office and I love going there because they have every fix it up item you could possibly need, tons of deals and great service. They even have a cafe that makes the best Pumpkin Spice Latte in the fall 🙂

  368. Fifty for a Kwikie! I actually like our locally owned home improvement store better than any of the national chains. They’ve got the same quality and scope of products and the staff is super nice.

  369. Fifty for a kwikie!!

    Home depot is super close to home so we get a lot of our supplies there. Though I do love lowes too for more decorative items.

  370. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!!

    Most of the time it depends on proximity…which ever is closest- Home Depot or Lowes!

  371. FIFTY for a KWIKIE! Conveniently, our favorite home improvement store is Home Depot. I choose it because it’s close to home, but I think my husband prefers it over other similar stores.

  373. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I don’t have a favorite home improvement store yet–my husband and I are still in rented digs. But I always love going to any of them. As a little kid I used to love looking at the huge selection of things, and adding to my collection of paint color samples. 🙂

  374. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I typically shop at a small, local hardware store because I like to support local business…but the box stores get me in pretty often.

  375. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I love Home Depot mainly because I love Behr paint… and for some reason I always feel more like a legit home owner when I go there… Ours at least smells like lumber and rugged men.

  376. Fifty for a Kwikie!! I shop at Home Depot and Lowes, they are both close to my home 🙂

  377. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!

    We are a lover of all home improvement stores – No bias here.

  378. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I mostly shop at Lowes because it is closer to my house…but I love them both 🙂

  379. Fifty for a Kwikie! There is a Home Depot on my running route. Whenever I feel sad, I walk in, smell the place, and dream of my future place…

  380. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I am sooooo lucky to have both Home Depot and Lowes, plus two really good hardware stores, all close to my home. And since I love DIY stuff around the house, with all those stores, I’m in hog (as in bacon) heaven. If I can’t find something at one, I can usually find it at one of the others. Yeah!

  381. Fifty for a Kwikie! Up until recently, I was all about Lowes (which is less than a mile from my house). However, after discovering that Home Depot seems to have a bigger appliance selection, I’m a Home Depot convert. And I would be a Home Depot girl for life if I won the gift card. 🙂

  383. Fifty for a Kwikie!!

    We are a Home Depot family, but it’s because they are located just down the road from us. We do shop around for the big purchases though and check prices and sales at a variety of nearby home improvement stores.

  384. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!! – can I just say that I thought that we were going in a whole other direction with this ‘kwikie’ post…. 🙂

    As for Home Improvement stores, we have a Home Depot and a Lowe’s probably equal distance from our home, for quite some time I was not partial to either, however, watching more HGTV than I care to share over the past few months, I have noticed that all of the “crasher” shows… get crashed at Lowe’s, so i think that has become my fav, just because I want to be on HGTV so so badly. :). No offense Home Depot, I do still love you.

  385. Fifty for a Kwikie! I go to Home Depot and Lowes, but prefer the Home Depot because the employees are nicer and more helpful.

  388. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!

    Lowes and Home Depot are literally the same exact distance from my house. They are located across the street from each other. Like… walking distance. I go to Lowes. Not necessarily because I like it more. I think it’s because it’s a right turn into Lowes. I’d make a left turn if I had a free $50 gift card to burn, for sure!

  389. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I’m moving into a new place in May so I’m not sure what stores will be local or which we’ll be using but I know that $50 would help us settle in!!

  390. Fifty for a Kwikie!!

    We mostly shop at Home Depot…it’s closest to our house.

  392. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We usually shop Lowes because it is closer but I’d happily spend this $50 at Home Depot!

  393. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I have equal love for Lowe’s and Home Depot but usually end up at Lowe’s because it’s closer.

  394. Fifty for a Kwikie. I go wherever it’s the cheapest 🙂 I have several places close by so I usually scope them all out before a larger purchase. I also try and support the smaller businesses as well 🙂

  395. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!
    My favorite home improvement store is actually Home Depot! It’s close to home and the prices are always pretty great!

  396. Fifty for a Kwikie

    hmm tough one…well I like HD and Lowes the same because they both allow me to take my Dog with me in the store 🙂

  398. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!!!

    Love Home Depot…Can always find someone to help me find just what I need. Kids even have a home depot tool bench!

  400. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home depot is closest, and since we’re usually realizing we need something mid- project, it has become our favorite!

  401. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!

    We share the love amongst the home improvement stores (depending on where we can get a better deal) but I do love me some Home Depot (I feel like everything is laid out in a way I can easily find it).

  402. Fifty for a kwikie…I actually love home depot. It’s my go to store for all things home improvement! Plus it’s 5 minutes from my house!

  404. Fifty for a Kwikie! I prefer Lowe’s, but Menard’s is literally around the corner so we end up there a lot!

  405. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!

    Home Depot is a favorite. They have the best flowers for planting!

  406. Fifty for a kwikie!

    I live in a small community in Alaska. Surprisingly, we have a plethora of home-stores. Home Depot, Spenard’s Building Supply (that might be an Alaskan chain. . . ,) Lowes, and some other mom and pop shops. Actually, my favorite was Lowe’s. Until they shut their doors a few months ago, overnight, without telling ANYONE (not even their employees!) I had JUST figured out my upcoming project with their items and BAM! Gone.
    Oh well.
    I’d love to head to Home Depot for some new doorknobs, though!

  407. Fifty for a Kwikie! 🙂

    My tastes usually flip flop between Lowe’s and Home Depot (most recently, I have been on a Home Depot kick). However, I also love Menard’s too! You can get some great deals, but sadly the nearest Menard’s to our new place of residence is in another state! So, no Menards for me lately! 🙁

  408. Fifty for a Kwikie! I go to Home Depot all of the time! There are actually a few to choose from close to home. Thanks for the chance to win! =)

  409. Fifty for a Kwikie! I am currently enjoying changing out all the 70’s light fixtures in our house 🙂

  410. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I usually shop at Lowes as it is less than 5 minutes from my house. The Depot is a little further, but I do always shop online for price comparisons.

  411. Fifty for a Kwikie!! I was just about to start the process of replacing the exterior doors in our house and I had just been looking at door knobs. I usually go to lowes because we only got a home depot a few years ago but I do like home depot’s lighting dept better than lowes.

  412. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    Home Depot is the closest to my house, and they generally have what I need for a good price = happy me!

  414. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home Depot has always been my go to store. They’ve always had what I need. Good sales too!

  415. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I don’t have one…..yet. We just closed on our first house (haven’t even moved in yet!), so I am DEFINITELY new to this whole home improvement thing. A gift card sure would help!!

  416. Fifty for a Kwikie! We love Home Depot but we have recently discovered Ace Hardware where everyone is super sweet!

  417. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!
    i usually like lowes b/c they tend to have better customer service, but i like both and check both for whatever i am looking for. :)))

  418. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I love Home Depot. They are always so nice and always have what I’m looking for! 🙂

  419. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Our favorite home improvement store is Menards! Close to our house and very helpful employees!

  420. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Lowes and Home Depot are across the street from each other and I like both! I go with whoever has better prices.

  421. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot is closer to me so I usually go there, but I like the service at Lowes better.

  422. Fifty for a kwikie!

    My favorite store to frequent is the home depot because it is in a cute little town center that has coffee shops, resteraunts, etc. even though I have another hardware store about 2 minutes away. 🙂

  424. Fifty for a Kwikie

    We don’t have a favorite. We’re finishing our basement right now, so whatever product for a project we kind find cheapest is our criteria right now!

  425. Fifty for a Kwikie! My favorite home improvement store by far is Lowe’s. Could be that multiple members of their staff know me by name … could be that makes me feel like a rock start or at least more like a Katie or Sherry. Since the products at most of these stores are mostly the same and the sales and prices fluctuate at all of them I find the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff the #1 reason to choose one store over another. As a woman who often attempts ‘crazy’ home projects I really appreciate being listened to and not talked down to.

  426. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We actually just purchased new granite countertops from Home Depot! I like when people actually help me in the store and know what they are talking about because usually I have no idea!

  427. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot is my favorite. They have the most knowledgeable and helpful staff of all the home improvement stores. Plus they have the best prices.

  428. Fifty for a Kwikie
    We love Menards because well.. my husband works there 🙂 AND its very close to our house.

  429. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I like Home Depot the best. It’s the closest to my home, but I also like the website better. Lowe’s doesn’t have as good a search engine or easy to find categories.

  430. Fifty for a Kwikie

    We prefer Home Depot, but it’s furthest from our home. We go to Lowe’s for prices and sometimes Menards. Ace is closest and we go there for plants and gardening stuffs.

  433. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I love Home Depot – used to love the local hardware store – but they started hiring kids (cheaper?). The kids don’t know how to talk you through a project. At Home Depot they have never steered me wrong.

  434. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I love our local Lowes, which is only two miles away. The store is always so clean and organized. Even better are the sales force. If I have any question, they can usually answer it and guide me to product choices. And then there is the nursery section… Yay!

  435. Fifty for a Kwikie…

    I don’t have a favorite. We’re gutting our house so all stores are on our shopping list and all have items we need/want/buy.

  436. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I love Home Depot and Lowes!! I find stuff at both stores that I love, so it would be hard to pick just one to shop at.

  437. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home Depot is my favorite. It’s two minutes from our house and the hours are fantastic! In any given project, you can catch us running to Home Depot between 5 and 937 times to grab something we forgot. I also love that they carry Behr paint. The staff at our Home Depot are SO NICE including my favorite employee, Louise!

  438. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I don’t really have a favorite home improvement store….my hubby & I are always looking to save money so we shop around at least 2-3 stores for everything! Thanks 🙂
    Have a “hoppy” Easter!

  439. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”

    Definitely Home Depot – it’s the closest. I’d love a Lowes for variety as well, but the nearest one is a clear 25 miles away. We have 2 Home Depots within 3 miles 🙂

  440. Fifty for a Kwikie!!

    Hubs and I bop back and forth between Lowe’s, H Depot, and Ace Hardware. It really comes down to who’s got what we want/need at the time and for the best price!

  441. Fifty for a kwikie! I go to the Home Depot that’s 3 miles from my place. Love that they have self check out too!

  442. Fifty for a kwikie (which auto correct just turned into missile) I go to home depot or lowe’s, they’re about equally convenient. I probably shop hd the most. I could really use one of those keypad entry locks so that I can’t lock myself out!

  444. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE! It’s a tie between Home Depot and Lowes. The HD is better where I live, but harder to get to (across the highway and near a really funky intersection), where the Lowes is right across the street from work. I love to shop at both for good deals!

  445. Fifty for a Kwikie

    We usually go to Lowes because it’s closer, but we recently moved farther away from that Lowes, so Home Depot is not much further. Also not thrilled with Lowes because of how they pulled ads for that show recently, so honestly I think I’m going to start checking out HD more in the future (and not just because I am trying to win this!).

  447. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Well, actually, I prefer Lowe’s. (*insert gasp of shock and horror*) But what I love to do most is make those competitors compete with one another! Whoever has the better deal is my buddy!

  448. Fifty for a Kwikie! Love both Lowes and Home Depot. Really miss Home Depot Design Centers.

  449. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE! Almost six years ago, we gutted out house one week after moving in. As in moving from Memphis to Denver. Home Depot was our friend. And where all our new friends worked. You know, the ones in those orange aprons….

  450. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I love both stores. It really just depends. Ours are literally right across the street from each other. So usually we will check out both for whoever has the greater deal 🙂

    Thanks for the give away!

  451. Fifty for a Kwikie
    We used to be die-hard Lowes shoppers, but it was because the employees at our old Home Depot were TERRIBLE! They never knew where anything was, or how to help at all. But we have moved to a new city and are making the rounds to all of the new stores – so can’t say my favorite yet but I can say that Home Depot here is WAY better than our old town!

  452. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot is seriously my favorite hardware store. We are in the exact same process of switching out all of our exterior locks on our new home and we’ve already started with the Kwikset knobs. They’re great!

  453. Fifty for a Kwikie

    We’re regulars at HD since it’s so close to home and they always have what we’re looking for!

  455. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home Depot is the closest to our house – so it usually wins!!

  456. Fifty for a Kwikie

    Home Depot is my favorite go to place for home improvement needs. I think it’s the one closest to me but I’ve never looked for any others. 🙂

  457. Fifty for a Kwikie! My favorite home improvement store is Home Depot, because it’s dangerously close to our house (5 min. drive), but I do love the Allen and Roth collection at Lowes, though it is a little farther away. 🙂

  458. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Will i not get chosen if i say Lowes? Growing up we only had a Lowes in our home town, so I am partial to Lowes, only because of that fact! The city I live in now has a Lowes AND a Home Depot, so pretty much the DIY mecca!

  460. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I have to say I am partial to Lowe’s due to proximity and now since I’ve been there so often I know exactly where everything is that I’m looking for…but who doesn’t love an adventure once in awhile? 🙂

    Have a great day!
    Emily

  462. 50 for a kwikie!
    I lovelovelove home depot! and I need NEED, plants for my backyard badly!

  463. Fifty for a Kwikie!!

    Mine is Lowes because it’s closest to our house AND is next to a Starbucks 🙂 Although I’d say Home Goods if it counts (getting better decor counts as home improvement, right? Haha).

  464. 50 for a kwikie!

    My favorite is most likely home depot too… they have always been so great to work with there!

  465. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We just shop around and go with the store that has the best prices or the product we want. Sometimes, we’re limited to where we shop, because my hubby is also a Consumer Reports nerd, and will ONLY buy the recommended brands. 🙂
    Our top 3?
    1) Home Depot
    2) Lowes
    3) Anders Hardware (Local store)

  466. I admit I’m a bit of a hardware store cheat–always playing the field, never settling down with just one. There’s a True Value downtown that sells the best paint, and I like that they’re locally owned. But Lowe’s and Home Depot are near work, so it’s easy to stop there on the way home. Their prices are also lower, which can make a difference to me in a big project.

  467. Fifty for a Kwikie! I use Lowe’s more because it is closer to my house. But I do drive to HD for their trim paint.

  469. Fifty for a quickie! Before I head out to a hardware store (determined by proximity to other errands I am running), I try to remember to check my own hardware stash. I am guilty of owning multiples!

  470. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I am a Lowes gal, mostly because I used to work at Home Depot and have seen enough orange aprons to last a lifetime! 🙂 But I still shop there every now and then … awe, memories!!

  471. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We tend to shop at Lowe’s more just because it’s closer, but we like Home Depot too. And we have so many doors that need new hardware! We are still rocking ugly shiny gold knobs circa 1993 when this house was built. I am DYING to update!

  472. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I like Home Depot-easy to get to and parking is reasonably close. Associates offer to help!!

  473. Fifty for a Kwikie!!! We love Home Depot…for their service and the fact we get points that go toward 10cents off every gallon of gasoline from their gas station for every 100 $ we spend!!!

  474. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I love me some Home Depot, mostly because my littleman calls it “Home Beep-Oh” when we drive by and begs to go inside. AND we have a totally jammed up lock on the front door right now that we could sooo replace with a new non-builder basic model!

  475. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Since it is only 5 minutes away and next to Walmart (which is starting to feel like my home away from home), I typically go to Lowes. But Home Depot is only 15 minutes away so I’ll be able to use that gift card with no problem! 🙂

  476. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I believe in equal opportunity and visit my local Home Depot, Lowes and Ace evenly. No need to hurt their feelings. Really, it’s just whatever home improvement store is closest to me at the moment.

  480. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!! And I also love Home Depot because there is a creepy guy at Lowe’s that said he likes how I smell….yeaaahhh….like I said, creeepy.

  483. Fifty for a Kwikie! I don’t currently have a favorite home improvement store but me and my husband are currently in escrow on our first home and its gonna be quite the project so I will be seeing alot of Home Depot and Lowes in the near future!

  484. “Fifty for a Kwikie” Boy could we use this. We have 17 door knobs–counting entry doors and double doors–to replace so they all match. We just moved into our home and it is driving me crazy they are different. And of course–we will be shopping at Home Depot…

  485. Fifty for a Kwikie! Well, we actually usually prefer Lowe’s, but often find bathroom fixtures at Home Depot! My kids prefer HD b/c of their carts and the stickers they get at every visit!

  486. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    The one with the best weekly deals! I spread my love around!
    Thanks!

  487. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love our Home Depot, which is 10 blocks from my NYC midtown east apartment. It was such a great day when we discovered it! We visit it far too often for living in a tiny rental.

  488. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Great giveaway, and I was one of the readers confused with the math! 🙂 We like HD and Lowes probably equally. Both have a great selection and are close to our house, lucky us!

  490. Fifty for a Kwikie

    Home Depot all the way! (I will no longer step foot in a Lowes.) And I have quite a few interior door that need a hardware update from shiny brass.

  491. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    My favorite home improvement store is usually Lowes for everything BUT paint. Home Depot’s paint department makes me unreasonable happy.

  492. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I prefer Lowes, but it is about 20 miles away as opposed to Home Depot about 2 miles away. So we usually go to Home Depot.

  493. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I like the Ace. It is about 2 miles from my house. That means around a 30 to 40 minute walk or a 10 minute bike ride. Awesomeness.

  494. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    We tend to use Lowes the most because we’ve had some not so great customer service at our local Home Depots. But I just recently went back to Home Depot and then have some really great stuff you can’t get at Lowes. Hello glass tile in every color ever! It may be time to get them a chance again 🙂

  495. Fifty for a kwikie!

    I almost always go to home depot, it is much closer than lowes.

  496. Fifty for a Kwikie
    I just went to Home Depot Sunday and bought a weed-eatter. One of the many thrilling things you buy as an adult.. this would have come in handy then.
    (: crossing my fingers!
    Have a good one!

  497. Fifty for a Kwikie! home depot is actually my fav because it’s close and right across from whole foods

  498. Fifty for a Kwikie! We’re equal opportunity home improvement store shoppers. Lowe’s and home depot are right across the street from each other where we are (and both close to us), so we tend to go to both and walk out with whichever had what we were looking for/wanted for the best price or that we preferred (if it was something like a light fixture…).

  499. Fifty for a kwikie! Both HD and Lowes are close to our house so we shop them both.

  500. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!

    We only go to Lowes because the closest Home Depot is 45 mins away. Lowes has a few good employees, but more often than not, you can’t find anyone to help you. Ever. My last trip to the too-far-away Home Depot, I was greeted at the door and then immediately greeted and offered assistance the second I walked into the paint department. And then a few minutes later, a different employee walked by and asked if he could help. Oh, it was glorious. So if anyone from Home Depot is reading, Greenwood SC needs a Home Depot ASAP! No competition=lousy service at Lowes!

  501. Fifty for kwikie! Home depots closest to my house, so we tend to go there for quick visits. But for big trips I base it on who’s got the best current sale.

  502. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I normally will go to the home improvement store closest to where I am. I sometime will go to both just to compare prices and inventory.

  504. Fifty for a kwikie! We mostly shop Lowes or Home Depot…it is the closest home improvement stores to our home.

  505. Fifty for a Kwikie! We usually go to Lowes because it’s less than 5 minutes from our house, but I love ’em all!

  506. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    HD is my favorite even though there is a Lowe’s closer. The employees at HD have always been a thousand times more helpful that I don’t even bother going to Lowe’s anymore.

  507. Fifty for a Kwikie! I have a Lowes and a Home Depot 2 miles from my house. I usually go to Home Depot because their prices are better. So that’s my favorite 🙂

  508. Fifty for a Kwikie! I can walk to my local non-chain hardware store. Awesome for all the little stuff I forget!

  509. Fifty for a Kwikie, Home Depo is down the street so we go there often, but I also like Home Hardware. We also have a Rona, but Lowe is 45 min away.

  510. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Lowe’s is closer, but we drive the extra miles to Home Depot for big trips.

  511. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”

    We are currently going through construction on our basement! I have spent many hours wandering the isles of both home depot and lowes lately. I am 8 months prego to top it all off and have been having major choice anxiety. Things are coming along though. And I can tell ya, $5000 big ones might help with that anxiety!! Thanks for the giveaway!

  512. Fifty for a kwikie!

    I go based on proximity, so right now we live closer to a Lowes. But, I love Home Depot too!

  513. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love Home Depot, and I’m eyeing a new door lock for my front door.

  514. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    My great uncle used to own a small, hometown hardware store that I loved going to as a little girl! I still remember the smell of it – like a musty-woodchip-sawdust smell.

    But nowadays I’m partial to Lowe’s or Home Depot, whichever is most convenient.

  515. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    WE LOVE Home depot. IT is just around the corner and we have been known to take family walks down to Home Depot aka The Pot!

    Although, I do admit. My husband has WAY too much fun in that store!

  518. Fifty for a Kwikie! I actually love Ace Hardware. It’s super close to my home, the folks there are always helpful, and it’s quick to get in and out of. Home Depot is my second fave, for all the things I can’t get at Ace.

  519. Fifty for a Kwikie!!
    Home Depot is seriously my favourite home improvement store!! We sometimes get gift cards for Home Depot for Christmas, and we LOVE them! We recently used a gift card towards our new washer.

  520. Fifty for a Kwikie!! there’s a smaller chain called ANAWALT we use for quick trips, close to home and small. But it’s always Home Depot for big comparison shopping stuff!

  521. Fifty for a Kwickie
    Menards, Lowes AND Home Depot are all in the same area by our house, so we usually hop between all 3 to see if we can find what we need/like. But when Im shopping online, its homedepot.com all the time!

  522. Fifty for a quickie! I love Lowes but they closed the Lowes close to me so it’s Home Depot!

  523. Fifty for a Kwikie… HD all the way. It may just be me, but every time I go to lowes I find the staff rude and not much help.

  526. Fifty for a kwickie!

    Home depot is our go-to, I think I make more trips there then I care to admit.

  527. Fifty for a Kwikie… if I had a penny for every minute I spent at Home Depot – I could pay someone to install all my new door hardware.

  528. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We are Home Depot people. In the last city we lived in, we were definitely Lowes people, mostly because it was so convenient. But the awesome employees at the Home Depot in our current city made us HD shoppers for life.

  529. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    My husband prefers Home Depot and I prefer Lowes. We both prefer Home Depot paint (Behr).

    Thanks!

  532. ”Fifty for a Kwikie” We always look at Home Depot and Lowes to see what options they have. I’d say we like them equally. Luckily we are close to both!

  533. fifty for a kwikie! I shop at home depot, its around the block, plus they seem to have a bigger selection..

  535. Fifty for a Kwikie! We have a local place (Spokane, WA) a couple blocks away called RiverRidge Hardware that is awesome. It’s small, but they always seem to have what we need and the staff is super helpful. Oh and garden section, to die for! For the big stuff though, we’re all about Home Depot 🙂

  537. Fifty for a Kwikie! It would have to be the Big Orange for me. It’s close and the peeps there are so helpful, even with my goofy questions! I’m sure they all meet in the breakroom after I leave 🙂

  538. Fifty for a Kwikie!!

    Home Depot’s our go-to place, actually! I was there yesterday, picking up paint. 🙂

  539. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love all home improvement stores! I just love going in them and imagining all of the possibilities. However, we live really close to a Lowe’s, so we do tend to shop there more. Sorry Home Depot :(.

  540. fifty for kwikie! Should I mention we’ve lived in our house for over 2 years and have never changed our locks? Yikes! Thanks for getting me to move my chops on this!

  541. Fifty for a kwikie! We using hit the HD, it’s close and it’s a loyalty thing (have friends and family that work there).

  542. Fifty for a Kwikie….We just refinished a bathroom…about fifty trips to the store later.

  543. Fifty for a Kwikie! My husband and I are looking for first house, so I have a feeling Home Depot and us are going to become fast friends!

  544. Fifty for a Kwikie! My husband and I frequent Lowes, Home Depot, and Ace Hardware (for BM paint!) regularly, but I have to say in our town the favorite of the 3 is Lowes. Am I allowed to enter a Home Depot give away and say Lowe’s is my favorite? PBut I will say that if I get free stuff from Home Depot it would be major points for HD and it might just put it in first place:)

  546. Fifty for a Kwikie 🙂
    We have a sweet little hardware store (can a manly store be called sweet??) in town that we like to visit for small projects so we can support our local economy. However when we need anything at all bigger we love the selection The Home Depot has yo offer! Plus the people are always really helpful.

  547. Fifty for a Kwikie
    We use HD for most stuff because they are closest but also like True Value/Ace/etc for hard to find stuff.

  549. Fifty for a Kwikie! I usually go to the home improvement store where I have a coupon to. I do favor smaller, local stores if I have questions or need advice.

  551. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!! I love Home Depot, as it’s got great prices, Martha Stewart lines, and they are super helpful.

  553. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love these locks! And I need a new one for my front door because I’m changing hardware colors now.

    Home Depot is my first and often last stop when I need something for home improvement. It doesn’t hurt that there’s usually a cute boy or three in the lumber department who are willing to help a gal who needs some wood. wink wink! They always help me load my cart right up!

  555. fifty for a kwikie!!

    We go to Home Depot 97% of the time… because its 5miles away. the Lowes? 35 minutes away. No contest. I actually used to word at Lowes, and like their more spread-out layout and easier to read price labels. And they have more decorative items 😉 There is a local place that sometimes I will hit, and a contractor store- but they are either pricier, or harder to get to (bad hours)- respectively. There you got!

  556. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot. They always have what we need, the staff at our store have always been super helpful… and it happens to be close to our house too.

  557. fifty for a quickie! There is a Home Depot, a Lowes and a Menards (a midwest home improvement store which sells everything and I do mean everything including groceries!) all in a line and if I have the time I stop at all three to price things out and then go back to the store with the best prices, if I don’t have the time its usually to Menards I go, because I can also get bread and milk there!

  558. Fifty for a kwikie!

    I can’t say I love any home improvement store… I’m more for decorating. West Elm is my addiction.

  559. Fifty for a Kwikie.

    We’re equal opportunists at our house. We usually go wherever the best deal is HD, Lowes, Ace, my dad’s garage.

  560. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I love Home Depot! Everyone is so helpful and I always walk out inspired for a new project.

  561. Fifty for a quickie! I love HomeDepot but my nearest one is about 30 minutes away so we have to go there with a plan. I also love my local hardware store, they have everything I need spur of the moment and I love helping my local economy 🙂

  562. Fifty for a Quickie! I need need need new locks on my front door, it doesn’t open at all from the outside and the lock is about to fall off from the inside.

  563. Fifty for a Kwikie! Definitely prefer Home Depot to Lowes. One time I went to our local Lowes and stood at the paint counter for 15 minutes with a 2-year-old in tow and NO ONE acknowledged me. I finally just turned around and drove the 5 additional minutes to Home Depot. Haven’t made that mistake again!

  564. “Fifty for a Kwikie” I’m a Home Depot girl 🙂 We bought a lawnmower, bagger and toilet from them this week! 🙂 I prefer them, because it’s easier to find things at their store versus Menard’s and I have special love for Behr paint and am always painting and repainting rooms in our house. Although, if I need something specific, I’ll go to Ace Hardware, because the store is smaller and I can get in and out quicker.

  565. “Fifty for a Kwikie”
    my favorite home improvement store is actually a true value hardware store, mostly because it’s just down the street for those emergency quick trips. for any big purchases we usually price check a few places like lowes and home depot.

  567. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”

    we are 3months new in our new house;) and have mostly shopped at home depot through our cha cha changes going on in the house…we have also bought our new entry door from HD and every body loves it…5 more doors left to be replaced and yes HD is only 12mins from my place so easy to go..and employees are ever ready to help..in effect once i almost jumped out of my own skin when i went there..there was dis guy standing rite behind me and he asked can i assist you while i ws turning not knowing hes there…totally startled me!!!=) also love lowes which is about 2mins frm home depot<<great competition going on !! BUT honestly we love both stores!!!

  569. Fifty For A Kwikie!!

    HD is my favorite for spray paint/tools/plants. However, I prefer Olympic (no VOC) paint so I go there for my non-spray paint needs. Thanks for the chance to win!!

  571. Fifty for a kwikie!!

    I prefer Home Depot, but went to either one in the last place I lives because they were around the block from each other. Our new town only has a Home Depot and local Ace, so we go to Home Depot usually. Ace wins when we need one quick thing as it is about 2 minutes from our house.

  573. Fifty for a quickie! We love home depot! However here lately we have been frequenting all of the different home depots and lowes in town checking out the plants selection!

  574. Fifty for a Kwikie! I shop at whatever homegoods store I can find when I go out of town. The biggest home improvement store we have where I live is an Ace Hardware or Walmart (like that even counts!)

  575. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!

    For our area, we prefer Lowe’s first, and then the Depot….:)

  576. Fifty for a Kwikie! We go to home depot ALL the time! Yes it is the closet to our house but we really like all the store has to offer.

  577. Fifty for a Quickie! We tend to use Lowe’s and Home Depot equally and like them each for buying different things. I was impressed with Home Depot last week, though, when they cut a bunch of marble floor tiles for us completely free, and we hadn’t even bought the tiles from them!

  578. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I like Home Depot for wood and materials but Lowes for accessories.

  580. Fifty for a Kwikie! I like both Home Depot & Lowes. Ha! We have both. Lowes has free wifi.

  581. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I love this local home improvement store/outlet near my house!

  584. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot – and I’m not just saying that because that’s where this giveaway is to 😉 It’s part proximity to our house, part customer service and product availability. We’ve had a lot better luck with Home Depot – and being that we are in there once a week (new house will do that to you!) we’ll stick with the Depot!

  585. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I prefer shopping at Lowes. Unfortunately it’s further away so not at all convenient.

  586. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot – probably because it’s the closest to our house. Saving gas is a must when you go once a week!

  588. Fifty for a Kwikie! Who doesn’t like a kwikie…haha

    Totally need this we are rebuilding our front steps and painting the door and replacing out “builder’s special” brass knob!!! I heart home depot because of the quality and of course martha!!!!

  590. fifty for a kwikie!!

    I’m totally a HD girl. It’s all we had growing up and it reminds me of the many times I tagged along with my grandpa as a kid. Plus, their customer service rocks! The ‘other guy’ is right across the street but we choose HD almost every time because we know my hubby is way less likely to end up in the back of a cop car…. and yes, that almost happened during a visit to thatotherplace.

    Twice.

  591. FIFTY FOR KWIKIE!!! I don’t have a favorite one right now but I have both a HD and a Lowes Home Improvement store five minutes away from my house. I’m obsessed with both stores and go back and forth between them…which is easy for me since they are across the street from eachother 🙂 I did buy a Kwikset from HD a few months ago for my back door. I need three more of them – this would be awesome!

  592. Fifty for a Kwikie — I am closing on my first house tomorrow and there is a Lowes & a HD nearby… I guess I better decide quick 🙂

  593. FIFTY FOR A QUICKIE!!!!

    We love our local hardware store…we pay a little more, but its so close to home, and we like to support local shops, its an ace hardware, and they have everything we need….:)

  594. Fiftie for Kwickies! HD is definitely our favorite for lawn and garden because the prices are usually better. In the middle of a bathroom remodel though, and this would be a GREAT help!

  597. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot is our go-to store! and it’s right around the corner!

  598. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I love going into Home Depot, there is a special smell and I feel like I can build anything when I’m in there!

  599. Fifty for a quickie!

    I like Home Depot, Lowes, and Menards. To be honest it depends on what I am looking for.

  600. Fifty for a Kwikie– I have to admit I like Lowes better. Can I still even respond to this post? The Home Depot here while it has some better prices has atrocious customer service. 🙁

  601. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We just bought our first home, so we are practically living at Home Depot. We used to be die hard Lowes fan’s but they never had stuff in stock and the employee’s were very rude. I plan to use my $50.00 gift card to buy new front door hardware!

  602. Fifty for a kwikie!!! There’s an ace hardware super close to me so that is usually my go-to!

  603. Fifty for a Kwikie! We prefer Menard’s, a store similar to HD and Lowe’s but it’s mostly in the Midwest. They have great service and are less expensive than Lowe’s. HD is the farthest away from us.

  604. Fifty for a Kwikie! We usually go to Lows because it’s closer and their merch is more to date than our home depot (the stuff on the shelves has dust from 1999). We do go to HD just not as much. We were just to HD today to buy some deck goop for our deck and front stairs. If it’s nice you will see me in my front yard Thurday rolling the goop on my front steps! Yay!

  605. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I’m not sure I could pick just one favorite project so far…I just finished painting my cabinets and became friends with one of my new mediums of choice – spray paint! I ORB’d the hinges and drawer pulls and it looks BEAUTIFUL!!! I’m in the middle of a dining room remodel as well, so my favorite project might change in a few days! I must be crazy undertaking huge projects 25 days before my son’s First Communion! AAAAGH!

  606. Fifty for a Kwikie! I usually visit Lowes the most since it’s the easiest to get to…however, I enjoy keeping my options open and visit Home Depot, Ace, and Southern States (for gardening supplies)

  607. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    First I try to shop local but when they don’t have what I need it is off to the Depot for me!

  608. Fifty for a Kwikie! I always use Home Depot due to the proximity. Their employees are very knowledgeable!

  609. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE

    My favorite home improvement store has to be Lowes. It’s in my home town, its the closest one, and they have anything and everything you need. I’ve been to a few Home Depots, but Lowes is more convenient.

  611. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I usually don’t have a preference between Lowe’s or Home Depot, it just depends on which is closer at the moment. But I do find myself going to HD more often for paint and I like Lowe’s better for hardware and tools…so I guess it depends on what I’m shopping for 🙂

  612. Fifty for a kwikie!!!
    We are so lucky to a home depot right down the street. However, since we bought our house I kinda feel like I should have my paycheck sent directly to Home Depot;-) cut out the middle man!!
    I love bower power and I look forward to your posts everyday!

  613. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”

    We have an awesome Ace Hardware near my house. The employees there just really seem to know what they are talking about.

  614. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    For me, it’s all about proximity. I like all of the home improvement stores the same, so I go to which ever I am near at the time. My first night in my house, my dad an I made 6 trips to my local store, just because it was so close.

  615. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I’m a Menards girl all the way – it’s a big home improvement store located throughout the Midwest. It seems like you either love or hate Menards. I love it, my husband hates it. They have everything you could need for home improvement as well as random household items (like stuff you’d by at Target) and groceries. You can shop for toilets and cereal in the same trip. The one by our house even has a grand piano for extra ambiance.

  616. Fifty for a Kwikie. I’ve got a Home Depot and Lowesnearby so I usually stop by one of those two stores for my home improvement needs, thanks for the giveaway!

  617. fifty for a kwikie! Home Depot for sure. We have been replacing all the door knobs in our new house with Kwikset and we have 5 left, so this sure would come in handy!!!

  618. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Typically it’s Home Depot, unless we can find a local place. Gotta love those old little hardware stores!

  619. Fifty for a Kwikie!! Home Depot is closest to home so they usually win out of laziness lol

  620. Fifty for a Kwikie! I used to take my kids to HD when they were babies ’cause they loved looking at the lights. The would stare at them for hours!

  621. Fifty for kwikie. I enjoy all of them, I love to walk around and look at all the cool stuff.

  622. Fifty for a kwikie
    I really shop at Home Depot. They have several location close to my home and the prices are great!

  624. “Fifty for a Quickie”! Lowes is my favorite, but Home Depot is right up the street and closer. If Home Depot doesnt have what I need , I check Lowes. Home Depot does have a cheap sink that I really need for my bathroom ($39) until I can afford to get the one I really love (also one I love at Home Depot- Martha Stewart line).

  625. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love Ace Hardware because it is super close to my house. But for a bigger store, I do love Home Depot. The selection and prices are similar to Lowes, but Home Depot’s political positions and support of issues that I support makes me lean toward shopping there.

  626. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I am a flip flop kind of girl. I seek the sale. Basically I shop for the look I am going for, and then by price. I would say HD wins out 95% of the time. If I am running out to get something that is a need vs. want I end up over there.

    Jenny

  628. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I actually usually go to Home Depot because it’s closer to where I live. I prefer going to Lowes though for some items…or to compare prices for large purchases.

  629. 50 for a Kwikie!

    We live closer to HD, so def patronize them more…and by more…I mean like twice a week…at least…

    Yeah, hubs has an addiction…

  630. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot is honestly my fav! The people working there are always so patient with me–especially being that I usually bring my three kids along! 🙂

  631. Fifty for a Kwiky!!

    I love Home Depot because it’s less than two miles from my house 🙂

  632. Fifty for a Kwikie! Lowe’s is our usual go-to store, but I can only find my air filters at Ace. If Lowe’s doesn’t have exactly what we’re looking for, we’ll hop about 1/2 mile down the road to Home Depot to check out their selection.

  633. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I love home depot and lucklily it is near by and so is Lowes =)

  634. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!
    I am not partial to any home improvement store…whoever has the better price and what I’m looking for wins! 🙂

  636. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I love them all! I especially love when I have money to spend on some DIY upgrades!

  637. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”

    Lowe’s, b/c it’s the only home improvement place in town. I

  638. Fifty for a Kwikie! We are in the process of finishing our basement and it seems like we are at Home Depot AND Lowe’s every single week!!!

  639. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love home depot. They’re closer to my house and they have a great garden center!

  640. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!!! I’ve always been a Lowes gal, but recently I have found some awesome deals at the HOme Depot… I may be switching teams!!!

  641. Fifty for a Kwikie
    The Home Depot and Lowes are across the street from each other, so I often wander to both for ideas and to fink what I’m looking for.

  642. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    We usually go to Home Depot because it’s very close to our house, but we have found some great deals at Lowes as well!

  643. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”

    I love Home Depot because of the prices and product selection!

  647. Fifty for a Kwikie! It’s all about product selection and customer service. I love how helpful the HD peeps are, but they remodeled a HD by me and waaaaaay over staffed the place. At least 15 different orange aprons asked if they could help me…I left early without everything I wanted because I couldn’t handle it anymore.

  648. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    We just bought a house but so far have loved Lowe’s for their bathroom displays to get ideas!

  649. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    We live right by a Home Depot and Lowe’s (in the same parking lot!) so it’s nice to comparison shop.

  650. Fifty for a Kwikie! We live super close to a Home Depot so it is our favorite place to go fix up our lovely new house.

  651. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE! I’m a Lowes gal – but simply because Home Depot is 20 minutes out of my way. …but for 50 smackers I would definitely make the trek! 🙂

  652. fifty for a kwikie!!

    I’m a Lowes girl but that’s only because the closest depot is an hour away!

  653. Fifty for a kwike! I don’t have a favorite home improvement store. I like them all for different types of home improvement things. I even like the small family owned one in my town back home. Though lows does give a military discount, which can come in handy sometimes…..

  656. Fifty for a Kwikie. Funnily enough Home Depot is my favourite home improvement store. They’re hours are great, close to my home, they have a wide selection of items, and very friendly and helpful staff who take the time to walk you to a product you are looking for or help explain how to accomplish whatever home improvement task you are looking to complete.

  658. Fifty for a Kwikie! I really love shopping at our local hardware store but they don’t always have what e need so Home Depot & Lowe’s are frequent stops. it really depends on what we need.

  659. ”Fifty for a Kwikie” 🙂 Lowes is the store closest to me but I love to stroll the aisles at the Home Depot!

  661. Fifty for a Kwikie! Well, Lowes is about 2 min. from our house (while HD is about 20, and Ace is about 10), so we’re there a bit more then any other one. Its NOT because my husband is a huge Jimmy Johnson fan, really. 😉

  662. Fifty for a Kwikie!!! This is tough! It depends on what item I’m shopping for! I think Lowe’s has better bath/kitchen displays, but I often find myself at Home Depot! I think the orange draws me in! Lol

  664. Fifty for a Kwikie

    Lowes is closest, however, lately Home Depot has had a better selection.

  666. Fifty for a Kwikie
    I like Menards. It’s pretty amazing the deals you can get there with rebates!

  667. “Fifty for a Kwikie”
    Lowes is closer but I visit both Blue and Orange. I need a new front door to go with the Kwikie.

  668. Fifty for a kwikie! Home Depot for sure! It’s just a couple blocks from my work and on my way home!

  669. Fifty for a Kwikie
    Home Depot is closest to my house, Ace Hardware is closest to my office. I frequent both.

  670. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot for us. Love that they price match now, plus we get a 10% military discount on all of our purchases.

  671. Fifty for a kwikie!
    I’m partial to Home Depot. It’s located so close to my house and has everything I need for my DIY projects!

  672. I love my 100 year old house, but I do not love the front door knob that falls off every time we use it!!! I could use a new set of knobs!!!!

  673. Fifty for a Kwikie! I don’t really have a preference but Lowes is about 10 minutes closer to my house than Home Depot so it usually wins.

  674. Fifty for a Kwikie – my favorite is Home Depot because it’s less than a block away from home and we can walk! At least when we aren’t hauling home lumber….

  675. Fifty for a Kwikie! I’m in love with this old neighborhood hardware store near my house. It smells so good! And they have everything! Only one or two of everything, but EVERYTHING! And always a few old men just hangin’ around chewin’ the fat 🙂

  676. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Lowe’s and Home Depot are my favorite home improvement stores.

  677. fifty for a kwikie! i don’t have a favorite store, they all about the same distance from our house. but we go there too much since we’re renovating!

  678. Fifty for a Kwikie!! I usually go to Home Depot for things like wood, paint, etc. I check out Lowes for appliances, flooring, and lighting. I bought my first house a year ago and the to-do list is SO long still.

  679. Fifty for a Kwikie! I have to say Lowe’s only because I get 5% off everyday with their credit card.. what can I say I love to save money!

  680. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    My favorite hardware store is the local True Value because I know the owners. But I love all stores home improvement! 🙂

  682. Fifty for a Kwikie! Great looking knobs! McGuckins is my favorite. Everything you can imagine under one roof!

  683. Fifty for a Kwikie!! Home Depot is just a few minutes away! Our weekends wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the HD.

  684. fifty for a Kwikie! I really love Home Depot. The people who work there are always so nice and helpful.

  685. Fifty for a Kwikie. Home Depot all the way. just cause its really close to my house 🙂

  687. Fifty for a quickie!

    I love HD, but menards is just a mile away. I also really like Ace for little stuff because they are so nice and helpful.

  688. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I love Menards! I live closer to Menards so it’s always my go to store!

  689. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I could say I ONLY love HOME DEPOT! But I actually go to Menards and Home Depot so it’s a tie

  690. Fifty for a Kwikie!!

    My husband and I are new homeowners so we are still feeling out the whole ‘hardware store’ business. We have Home Depot, Lowes, Menards and Ace Hardware on our lists to explore!

  691. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Our favorite Home Improvement Store is either our local Ace or the Home Depot that’s in the next town over.

  692. Fifty for a Kwikie! I am a Lowes girl, but if HD is giving a gift via KB I will go visit them 😉

  693. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE..please!! I love me some Home Depot and I DON’T love the brass 80’s hardware goin on in my house…so hopefully I win 😀

  694. fifty for a kwike! totally proximity, which happens to be home depot so that works out perfectly!

  695. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!
    I am in love with the Home Depot… It is literally like going to the mall for me!

  696. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I prefer Home Depot, but Lowe’s is closer. I will however go out of my way to hit a Home Depot. Love those clearance prices!

  698. Fifty for a Quickie! It’s actually Home Depot….although this past weekend they were not my favorite…there is one literally 5 minutes away from me, we went in to grab a couple of things before the parents came over to help with a home improvement project, got our stuff, and as we were walking to the register, the fire alarm went off and we were evacuated!!!!! So we left empty handed=(

  699. Fifty for a kwikie! I LOVE HD because, well, it’s the only home improvement store in my town. But they have the best prices and will usually match any deal a competitor has.

  700. Fifty for a kwikie! Love AceHardware. But Home Depot is good too! And Lowes-actually we loved Eagle before it turned into Lowes.

  701. Fifty for a kwikie! HD by far, and it is as close to my house as lowes (2mins!). Last time I went to home depot an employee actually helped me build a toy skateboard ramp for my sons school project. They’re the best!

  702. Fifty for a kwikie! I loved Lowes when I lived close to it, now i go to Home Depot more.

  703. fifty for a kwikie – we like Home Depot because it has it all and most of all because it is the only home improvement store in our town!

  704. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!

    Lowe’s is my favorite! But Home Depot is 5 minutes away from me!

  706. Fifty for a Kwikie

    They say HD is for contractors & Lowes is for home owners (decorative). Lately, I’ve been a HD kind of gal, but just bought lumber at Lowes for an outdoor table project. Call me a HD/Lowes slut, I just can’t get enough. Maybe it’s the Interior Designer in me. 🙂

  710. Fifty for a Kwikie
    Lowes! Most people get suckered into their 5% off credit card, but I get 10% off when I pay with cash on my bulk orders 🙂

  711. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    Home Depot is my favorite – there are 2 within a ten minute drive from my house.

  713. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!

    We go between Home Depot and Lowes. They are about 1 minute from each other. So which ever has the better deal and the coupon we usually go to.

  715. Fifty for a quickie! I try to group my errands so whichever home improvement store is closest!

  717. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot is most frequently because it is closest and a catch all, but there is also this mom and pop shop near by where they have all this little things that HD misses, and can point you right to them when you walk in the door. You gotta love that!

  718. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home Depot for paint; Lowes for lumber. Ace Hardware near my house for oops-I-forgots.

  720. Fifty for a Kwikie! I live cloer to a Lowes but do not have a favorite store just depends on what I am looking for.

  721. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    My favorite home improvement store is Lowes! I’d never really shopped there up until a few months ago…in our area Menards is the norm. I’ve never been a huge fan of Menards, it’s impossible to get assistance when you need it, and it seems like everything I buy there breaks after just one use! We decided to order our new appliances through Lowes since they had the best prices, PLUS a sale, PLUS a coupon. And let me tell ya – their service completely won me over! I’ve been back multiple times since and I just love it SOOO much more now!

    I REALLY want to check out True Value now though! I’ve heard so many great things about it from you Blog Squad-ers 😉

  722. Fifty for a Kwikie! My favorite home improvement store is Lowe’s. They certainly aren’t the closest, but I feel comfortable in the store and believe that they truly go out of their way to help me when I am in there. I am never talked down to (which I get a lot at another unnamed home improvement store). Just because I am female, doesn’t mean that I don’t know a thing about home improvement. I’m an engineer for goodness sake…ok off my soapbox now.

  723. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!

    Funny fact, my last name is Lowe! (I do not own Lowe’s though…) :-/ But we shop at Home Depot at near our house. It’s quick to get to, and we know most of what they offer, so it’s a one stop shop! Plus, since we’re relatively new home owners, we get a Home Depot gift card for all Christmas’ and Birthday celebrations from the parents 🙂

  724. “Fifty for a Kwikie”! We tend to be a Lowe’s household…but we always shop around. If another store has a better deal, they also have our business!

  726. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love Home Depot for wood and tile. For tools, we head to Lowe’s.

  727. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We bought our house in January 2011 and (like you) have been doing remodeling projects and updates since we moved in! Luckily, there is a Home Depot less than 5 miles for our house, so we’ll find ourselves there constantly in the middle of a project. (I’d rather not count the number of times we’ve been there on any given weekend!) Whenever we can’t find something at HD, we’ll make the trek to Lowe’s (which never disappoints!). But — since HD is so close, we’ll try there first!

  728. Fifty for a Kwikie- Home Depot is our preference for paint! So when we are doing projects that is were we start our hunt. If we do not see what we are lloking for then we try Lowes.

  729. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    We are Home Depot loyal! Not only is it the closest to us but usually after comparison shopping we find they offer the best pricing!! Just built a patio last weekend and we made a total of 4 trips in one day!

  730. “FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!” Love Home Depot and their Kwikset locks, I also like their newfound friendliness….it’s been very helpful.

  732. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I usually shop between both Lowes and Home Depot. I probably end up at Lowes a bit more only because it’s closer to home.

  733. Fifty for a Kwikie! I go to Lowes because it is about 5 minutes away. In my last house I went to Home Depot because it was closer. I am all about convienience!

  735. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    Home Depot is our go to place. It’s huge, has everything, and is about 1.5 miles from my house.

  736. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We shop both Home Depot and Lowe’s. If one doesn’t have what we need the other usually does.

  737. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I’m a Lowes girl, but really only out of habit. I’d love to have a reason to go to the Depot!!

  738. Fifty for a Kwikie

    Home Depot is close and has 90% of what we need, but every-now-and-then we travel over to Lowes for some of the more “decorating” items.

  739. fifty for a kwikie…

    No real preference… try to buy from the local hardware store when it’s feasible though.

  740. Fifty for a Kwikie! …It’s a toss up between Rona, Home Depot, and Home Hardware. Depends on what I need.

  741. Fifty for a Kwikie! I frequent both Home Depot and Lowes. I like Lowes’ ambience better:)

  744. Fifty for a Kwikie – Lowe’s – because they are the only decent sized hardware in our town. Unfortunately we didn’t have Lowe’s when we were remodeling our house. Try finding plumbing and electrical supplies at TSC…not fun.

  745. Fifty for a quickie! I’m a sucker for Lowe’s but I can sneak over to Home Depot and spend their money! 🙂

  746. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”
    When my husband and I renovated an old townhouse, we went to the Home Depot all the time. Now we have a house that just needs some little updates, so we stop by the HD and Lowes occasionally.

  748. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home Depot is my favorite and only a mile from my house. It will soon become my home away from since we have bought a house and plan on doing a lot of DIY. Looking forward to all the fun!!!!!!!!!

  750. Fifty for a Kwikie

    if we need to grab something quick when we are in the middle of a project we go to value, because it is super close to our house otherwise we go to lowes or home depot… whichever is closer at the time… apparently we are all about convienence

  751. Fifty for a Kwikie! I loooove Kwikset locks. We like Lowes since it is so close to our house, but still venture to other places – like Home Depot – to price shop.

    Love, love, love your blog. I’m currently attempting to talk my husband into creating a pallet accent wall. Wish me luck. 🙂

  752. Fifty for a Kwikie…

    I usually shop at Lowes but thats only because there is one where I live and the closest Hope Depot is an hour away.

  753. Fifty for a Kwikie!!! Home Depot is my fave-they seem to be less expensive than Lowes at the moment.

  754. Fifty for a Kwickie!

    We have a Menards home improvement store about 40 minutes away from us that we really like. They are a lot cheaper on most everythings than Home Depot or Lowes. If we don’t want to drive that far, we go to Home Depot the most. 🙂

  757. Fifty for a Kwikie? Meet me at HD with that card and I’ll you how Kwik I can purchase a Kwickie!!!

  758. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”
    Since HD and Lowes are right across the street from each other and only 5 minutes from our house, we usually pick the one with the best pricing if buying something expensive. If it’s just little everyday items, I’ve found we prefer Lowes products!

  759. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE! Lowes and Home depot are right next to each other so we always price shop but 9 times out of 10 Home depot wins!

  760. Fifty for a Kwikie! We are fortunate to have both a Lowes and Hope Depot very close to each other. I like them both — it depends what I’m looking for.

  761. Fifty for a Kwickie!

    We have a Menards store about 40 minutes away from us that we really like. They are cheaper on most things than Home Depot or Lowes and they have EVERYTHING…If we don’t want to drive that far, we usually go to Lowes but actually like Home Depot better. haha!

  762. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I’m a Home Depot girl. My sister’s husband works there and it’s the closest home improvement store near me.

  763. “Fifty for a Kwikie”
    I grew up heading to the home-town hardware store with my dad. Now in a bigger city, Im just a mile or so from multiple home improvement stores!

  764. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Lowe and Home Depot are the closest to me now. When I was little we’d visit a tiny hardware store named Hurlbert’s in my hometown around Easter because they had a “peep show” in their store window…to see baby chicks!

  765. Fifty for a Kwikie! – I love the Orange – but, Ace is right around the corner and the employees are ever so knowleadgeable and helpful~ that’s my favorite.

  766. We typically shop at Home Depot, but Lowes is a second favorite. We’ve spent more money at each than I care to admit, but that’s what you get when you buy a fixer-upper.

  767. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love all home improvement stores…to walk the aisles and dream of all sorts of wonderful projects!!

  768. Fifty for a Kwikie – we are pretty die hard Home Depot shoppers. It is closer than Lowe’s, but we’ve been known to drive past a Lowe’s on the way home even if we need something and drive out of our way to go to a Home Depot. I heart orange.

  770. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I am a Lowes gal….but only because they are right up the road!

    I like Home Depot much better, but there just arent any close

  771. Fifty for a Kwikie! I’m a Menard’s girl, much better selection than our Lowe’s and better prices too!

  772. I am a habitat for humanity restore kind of girl! I sometimes drive into work instead of taking the commuter bus just so I can head there afterwards

  773. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home Depot is my preference but Lowe’s is a close second and closer to my house!

  774. Fifty for a Kwickie! I am a Depot girl, though I love me some Lowe’s when I visit my folks (we don’t have one in my city).

  775. Fifty for a kwikie!

    Mendards is literally right across the street, but I have found Home Depot has better selection on some items and offers services Menards doesn’t (like cutting shelves) so we split our shopping between the two.

  776. Fifty for a Kwikie! I like them all but the retuns desk at Lowes is so much quicker than Home Depot.

  777. fifty for a kwikie!! I love all home improvement stores, but my favorites are based on what I’m buying at thet time…light fixtures/paint/hardware…it varies.

  779. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I love Home Depot! They have everything I need, and also are big supporters of the troops which is important to an Army wife (me!!) 🙂

  781. Fifty for a Kwikie

    Lowe’s is definitely the preferred. It’s about 3 miles from the house. But we have two Home Depots within 20 minutes, so it’s mostly about who’s got what we want for the best deal.

    That being said, if there’s a local hardware store and it has what we’re looking for, we definitely will go there first.

  784. Fifty for a Kwikie! We don’t discriminate or call favs on any story – it’s whoever helps us get the job done the quickest… and cheapest… and takes back all the wrong stuff we ultimately always buy…

  785. Fifty for a Kwikie! I could definitely use some new locks too. Just bought a new home last fall and I hate our current locks. Ugly, old and they get stuck all the time. I personally like Ace Hardware because, 1) it’s close to my house and 2) it’s a bit smaller than some of the other stores around so I like that the people working there tend to recognize us and know what we might be needing. 🙂 Although I do love me some Home Depot too!

  786. Fifty for a Kwikie! Lowes is closer for us but we have certain things we have to go to HD for. I get giddy in both 🙂

  787. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    (That makes me giggle everytime… I totally missed the reference until you put the “fifty” in there today.. er yesterday)

    My favourite is the big orange Home Depot! Sadly, the closest is an hour away, so I do lots of online shopping. They have more rock bottom clearance than Menards or Lowes… and I love me a deal!

  788. Fifty for a Kwikie! My husband and don’t really have too much of a favorite. Although when I was refinishing my vanity, Home Depot ended up being the winner with the knobs I liked best!

  789. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I would have to say a tie between Home Depot and Lowes. It depends which project I am working on and who has the best sale at the time.

    But I almost always get my paint at Home Depot. Every time I have colors matched I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. I cannot say the same of other places.

  790. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I shop at Lowes a ton, but only because it’s closest to my house – only 10 minutes away!

  791. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love Ace Hardware. It is a few minutes away, has all of my favorite primers and paints, good sales and so many products in stock. Their staff is kind to me and my son everytime we go in there–even if he knocks down all the plungers!

  793. Fifty for a kwikie! Home depot is the closest and I love checking out the Martha Stewart products. I think I’ve used her paint in almost every room in my house.

  794. Fifty for a Kwikie! Like a lot of others, we frequent Lowes because it happens to be much closer to our house. But we have been known to drive out of the way to Home Depot if we think the selection will be better. (We went through a crazy half kitchen reno which involved us trying to match some of our existing cabinets…Home Depot to the rescue!)

  795. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!

    my fave HAS to be Home Depot!! (especially if I win this one!)

  796. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE! We usually go to Lowe’s only becuase when we first bought our house we got a lowes credit card so you save the extra 10%. I wish home depot had a credit card like that. Home depot os about 3 minutes closer to our house!

  797. Fifty for a Kwikie! I do love some Home Depot! We just got approved to buy our first home (OMG HOORAY!!!), so we could certainly use this giftcard!!!

  798. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Love the Depot- I can walk to HD from my house, so proximity wins!!

  799. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love that the Home Depot is around the corner from where I work, I go over on lunch breaks all the time!

  800. fifty for a kwikie! Not going to lie- my favorite is Lowes. More class than Menards but better clearance than home depot.

  801. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home Depot is my favorite home improvement store. We love the veterans discount!

  802. Fifty for a Kwikie! We used to be loyal Home Depoter’s, but have since switched to Lowe’s since it’s closer.

  803. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE! Lowe’s seems to have better finishing items, but we frequent them all, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Menards and the local hardware store. I like to support the little guy, but then of course their selection is limited. I love HD especially for Behr paint and Menards has a good selection of lumber. Too many options for such a indecisive person! 🙂

  804. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    Browsing home improvement stores is our idea of a good date! Lately, it’s a tie between Ace, Home Depot, and Menards depending on what we need.

  805. ”Fifty for a Kwikie” I ONLY go to Home Depot. Home Depot is about 30 minutes from my house, but there’s no other store (Lowes) anywhere close. City living sucks!

  806. Fifty for a Kwikie.
    I have no preference, but I usually shop at Lowe’s because it’s closer.

  807. Fifty for a Kwikie – We’re not loyal. We hit up Lowes and Home Depot on a 50/50 basis.

  810. Fifty for a Kwikie! My husband and I prefer Home Depot. It’s closer and I like their selection better.

  811. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home Depot and Lowes are our favorite home improvement stores.

  812. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We have Menards and Home Depot near us – it’s a hard call! Probably Menards because the staff is super nice, but can’t complain too much about Home Depot either!

  813. Fifty for a Kwikie-We usually venture to Lowe’s just because it’s about 15 minutes closer to our house (which is still about 30 minutes away).

  814. Fifty for a Kwikie! We are lucky becasue there are several home depots and lowes in our area. We hit them all up all the time.

  816. Fifty for a Kwikie! I don’t really have a favorite – there’s a bunch close to my house so I’ll go to whichever has what I want/need at the best price and I they all have a slightly different selection so I like having all the choices.

  817. Fifty for a Kwikie! Actually, Home Depot is our go-to store for paint. We love Behr paint and the Home Depot is the only place we hit up for it!

  818. Fifty for a Kwikie … I’m a Lowe’s girl most of the time but I do love Home Depot!

  819. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We always try to check out our local independent hardware store first (a couple of blocks from our house), but after that it is usually Lowes because they are closer than Home Depot.

  821. Fifty for a Kwikie! I like both Home Depot and Lowe’s and luckily they are both very close to my home.

  822. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Lowes is about 5 minutes away, but Home Depot get my vote because they are always helpful and can answer my questions.

  824. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    We have two Home Depots in our area, where else would I shop for Home Improvements?

  826. Fifty for a Kwikie – We are Home Depot people. There is one close to the house and we are finally memorizing where everything is! They also always seem to have the best deals…..

  828. Fifty for a Kwikie! I was always a Menards girl because my dad is a Menards guy, but now that my husband and I bought our new house much closer to a Home Depot, I have converted!

  829. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    My fav is actually Home Depot. They carry stuff that I can’t seem to find anywhere else – and all in one location! I’ve been looking more into DIY as an option for my repairs, and it’s perfect!

    Thanks the giveaway!

  830. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I love the Depot. Mostly because the nearest Lowest is about 15 miles away. Which translates to 45 mins in DC area traffic.

  831. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I have a slight obsession with all things Home Depot – there’s just so much that you could do with all of the stuff that you can buy there! Sadly, I live in a rental so there’s a limit to what I can change. Which is probably good, because otherwise I would change paint colors every month!

  832. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love home improvement/hardware stores – there’s so much fun stuff you can find there, not only for improvements but for art projects, etc. Possibilities are endless!

  833. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    lol 5000 cents. You stinker. My Lowe’s & Home Depot are side by side. I like Home Depot for most project materials but Lowe’s for lighting and decorative stuff. I like to hit the garden section at both because they have different flowers available.

  834. Fifty for a Kwikie

    we like both home depot and lowe’s because of how close they are to us.
    thanks for the giveaway!

  836. ”Fifty for a Kwikie” Lowes for lawn stuff and home depot for appliances and remodeling!

  837. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    My boyfriend and I are buying a house later this spring/early summer. I am pretty sure a Home Depot card would come in handy! 🙂 Home Depot is probably our favorite home-improvement store. My darling boyfriend is a residential painter and gets most of his supplies at the good ol’ HD (or the Depot, as well call it.) Our local one [used to] *tear* have a drilling station where you could test out drills on a bunch of 2×4’s. As a newbie to home improvement (and never having held a drill before – let alone used it to screw things into other things – talk about a good time!) He took me there for Valentine’s Day because he knew I loved it so much. Nerd alert? Probably. We love Home Depot!

  838. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We go to both Lowe’s and HD (a bit more often) because they’re across the street from each other and 3 minutes from our house (which can get dangerous). HD is the closest, but if they don’t have what we’re looking for, we zip across the street. Very handy!

  839. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot is where I always go! I grew up in hardware stores with my Dad so there is something sentimental about the smell of lumber, I love it!

  842. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!

    I just have to say the word and my husaband will be at a home improvement store in less then 10 minutes. He heads to lumber or tools and I am in all my glory in the greenery.
    So glad Spring is here in VA!!!

  845. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    There’s a small hardware store near our house that we love because we can walk to it and they have free popcorn!

  846. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home depot all the way. I have one 5 minutes away from home…best thing ever for a home owner 🙂

  847. Fifty for a Kwikie! We moved into our first home last April and we still have SO much to do!

  848. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I actually LOVE the Home Depot in Bethesda, MD. I went there about 2 weeks ago and told them they had the friendliest, most helpful staff that I’ve ever met in a big box hardware store. It’s just a coincidence that you’re offering this Home Depot giveaway. I was planning to go back there this month.

  849. Fifty for a Kwikie — personally im a lowes kind of gal. It is a few blocks closer than HD, however, homes depot has a MUCH better lighting section than Lowes. In short, we frequent both. We could really use $50 to put towards a new headboard we are building for the guest bedroom 🙂

  851. Fifty for a Kwikie — We are a home depot house! It’s closest to where we live, and since moving to our home we’re probably their top paint purchasers on the east coast!

  852. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    Um perfect timing on this btw. I used to be a Lowe’s gal but I am now HD all the way based on proximity and selection 🙂 Oh and our local Ace is nice for small things. Amazing customer service there.

  853. fifty for a kwikie! we’re mostly lowes people – only because its so close to home.

  855. fifty for a kwikie. I love all hardware stores I mean who doesn’t. I usually go to the Homedepot in Manchester CT with is about 10 or 11 miles from where I live yes I know there is one 1/4 mile away from my house an others within the 5 to 6 mile radius but I really love the customer service I recieve at the farther one so yes we do drive extra for better service and advice these guys really know what they are doing the one close by my house the guys dont know anything and they try to run away when they c u from affar. Its kinda funny, but yeah, oh well.

  858. ”Fifty for a Kwikie” I go to either Home Depot of Lowes, as they’re both 10 minutes from my house and right next door to one another! 🙂

  859. Fifty for a Kwikie!!

    Lowes and Home Depot are always wonderful. They are right across the street from each other in my area so it’s nice! My other favorite place is a little local business called Red’s Hardware.

  860. Fifty for a Kwikie! I prefer Home Depot to Lowe’s but I recently found a discount trim store in town that sells all of my trimming needs for 75% less than either of the big boxes— SCORE!!!

  862. Fifty for a Kwikie… Bwahahaha! You really bring out my inner preteen Katie!

    Too bad the $50 gift card can’t buy bacon, but I’d still take it. Mama needs a new set of door knobs.

  863. Fifty for a Kiwkie!

    I don’t really have a favorite home improvement store, but my husband’s are Harbor Freight Tools and Lowe’s. He could spend all day in either! As he is in charge of 95% of the “home improvement” projects at our house, I guess it’s fitting.

  866. Fifty for a Kwikie!! I love both Home Depot and Lowes! I do think Home Depot has better service!! Thanks for the chance to win 🙂

  868. Fifty for a Kwikie! We go to Home Depot because it’s the only home improvement store near…and we still need to travel a good 30 mins to get there!

  869. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    Home Depot and Lowes are equally close to my house, so we happily frequent both 🙂

  870. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I usually stop in HomeDepot because it’s right next to Home Goods!

  871. I could use “Fifty for a Kwikie” change of my sassy brassy front door lock! Home Depot…closest to home. Lowes is the runner up – about 15 minutes away.

  872. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I tend to gravitate toward Lowe’s but my husband loves Home Depot. Which store we go to depends on whether we’re having Panera or Mexican for dinner after shopping. 🙂

  873. Fifty for a Kwikie! I use Home Depot and Lowe’s pretty equally. Both great stores!!

  874. Fifty for a Kwikie! I go to a local store called Menards…the owner went to my alma mater!

  875. Fifty for a Kwikie! We shop at Lowe’s. Both Home Depot and Lowe’s are about the same distance from our house, but Home Depot supports political causes that we don’t. 🙂 So we vote with our dolllars.

  876. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home Depot is the closest so it’s our go-to. But for big purchases we compare prices at all the stores in town.

  877. I prefer Home Depot, because it’s closer and that’s where my dad and I spent lots of Saturdays when I was younger. Plus, although this is probably totally weird, I love the smell of the place. 🙂

  878. ”Fifty for a Kwikie” I don’t have a favorite home improvement store… I’m an equal opportunity shopper… if I see something I like, I’ll buy it 🙂 I do need a new front door lock so that $50 would come in handy 🙂

  879. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I usually go to Home Depot because it’s only 5 minutes from my house. But I’ll make the 20 minute trip to Lowes for certain items – like their organizational products or decorating type stuff.

  880. Fifty for a Kwikie – I’m a Lowes girl, but really only because I know where things are in my local store and it saves me having to track an employee down 800 times to get everything on my list.

  881. Fifty for a kwikie. I love all hardware stores, I mean really, who doesn’t. Anyways I tend to go to the Homedepot inManchester CT which is 10 to 11 miles from where I live. Yes I know thre is one 3 mins away from my house (including light stops) and like 3 others closer but I really love the customer service at the farther one. So we drive the extra miles for better service and knowledge.

  882. fifty for a kwikie!!

    We’re Home Depot mostly because of their military community support! (many Lowe’s are also military friendly now too)

  885. Fifty for a Kwikie. I typically use Ace but that’s because I live in Baltimore and it’s the only place within 20 minutes. In an attempt for the pity win, due to my location, good locks are extremely important.

  886. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I prefer Home Depot.. and they happen to be within a couple miles of my home. Very convienent! 🙂

  887. Fifty for a Kwikie! I am a Home Depot gal. 2 locations extremely close to my home really helps!

  888. Fifty for a Kwikie! Fourteen doors is ALOT in one home…I counted last night and we have ten in our house. They all have mismatched or outdated door knobs! I tried spraypainting a set and putting it back on the door – it works but doesn’t look as nice as the beauties at HD!!

  890. Fifty for a Kwikie! Usually I go to our local True Value for small things and Lowes for bigger things. True Value has some really cute elderly men working there 🙂

  891. Fifty for a Kwikie! Love the Home Depot in South Riding! They have the best customer service and the workers are really knowledgeable and just plain nice.

  892. Fifty for a Kwikie! DeepHome, as my niece calls it, is our preference- two stores within 15 miles!

  893. ”Fifty for a Kwikie” and then let’s share about home improvement stores…do you have a favorite? Is it based on proximity to your house? or product preference? or what?

    I go to Lowe’s or Home Depot.
    Lowe’s is closer.

  894. “Fifty for a Kwikie” … The Home Depot and Lowes are directly across the street from each other in my town so if one store doesn’t have what I’m looking for, the other does. 🙂

  895. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    About to drop a baby (well birth…not drop in the literal sense…) any day now! NEED to finish that nursery! Come on Home Depot!

  897. ”Fifty for a Kwikie” lowes and home depot are both equal distance from my house and both also give my hubby a veteran discount, so they are pretty equal in my book. However, I recently found that the paint department at lowes is much bigger, and therefore better in my mind:) I also talked to the paint guy at HD and he mentioned they are going to be getting rid of tons of their purdy brushes, which kinda sucks since their selection was very small already. So if I need paint, I always pick lowes, otherwise HD is even on the scale!

  898. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!

    living in manhattan, home depot is my only large home improvement store and that’s fine by me because it’s my favorite!!! i’m actually hoping to go after work tonight to grab some plants for my (tiny) patio!

    thanks for the opportunity! love the blog!

  899. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”, “thats what she said!” sorry couldn’t resist. I am a Lowe’s girl. It’s closer and I just prefer it to the Depot!

  900. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!

    Home Depot is not necessarily my favorite (I think I prefer Lowe’s), but Home Depot is much closer to our house, so is the default store, especially when we are trying to get something big home…when we only have two cars….which often involves hilarious escapades of items tied to car roofs…

  902. 50 for a kwikie!

    Home depot is closest… so usually our go to

    But we like the lighting better at Lowes

  903. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Well my hubby works for 84 Lumber so I’m a bit biased. But we do shop around for things they don’t carry!

  905. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    Lowes just because of how close it is to my house. However I’m in the middle of a bathroom redo and I’m finding myself at Home Depot a lot more. This $50 sure could help (my favorite light fixtures are at HD).

  906. “Fifty for a Kwikie” Woo hoo! I usually head to Home Depot cause its closest and a little cheaper over all. But every once and a while when we need something with a little more polish and style we go to Lowes. My hubby calls it the Chic Hardware store. 🙂

  908. FIFTY for a Kwikie!!! I just bought my first home and have slowly been doing renovations to make it “mine.” The first step was to get rid of the foe brick back splash in the kitchen and the Avacado counter tops in the kitchen and both bathrooms. Then i moved on to new tile to upgrade the avacado lenolium that was in house. Splash on some paint and new carpet…it is like a new home. (Thank you Home Depot for the doing a great job on the countertops and carpet! As well as helping me pick the perfect paint colors). The only things left to do are new cupboards in the kitchen and new door knobs throughout! A Kwickie would be a great start. The front door bothers me the most as I feel it is the first impression people get when the come to see the new place!

  909. Fifty for a Kwike!

    My favorite store is our local Hardware Sales. I love to support local companies!

  910. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE! I go to Home Depot, Lowes, and our local Hank Brothers True Value depending on what I need at the time and where I am in town.

  911. Fifty for a Kwikie! I don’t have a favorite home improvement store, each one seems to have something in particular I like over the other one – so I just pick a store depending on what I need!

  912. I like Home Depot…my husband and I had a convo about this…something like the orange is warmer and the blue(Lowe’s) is colder, less welcoming…weird I know!

  913. Fifty for a Kwikie! My favorite is definitely Home Depot – they always have the most helpful employees and I can always find what I need there.

  914. Fifty for a Kwikie! I usually go to my local True Value because it is the closest to home, but for bigger purchases we make the long trek to the neighboring town to go to Home Depot! My most recent purchase was a can of white kitchen/bathroom paint and primer in one to DIY a little bench for the bathroom!

  915. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home depot is my favorite… and not just because they are sponsoring the give away:)

  916. Fifty for a Kwikie! Lowe’s and Home Depot are directly across the street from each other where I live, so it usually depends what direction I’m coming from! Although I must say I always have to run into Home Depot at some point on Black Friday!

  917. Fifty for a quickie! We have been finishing our home by ourselves for the past 8 years and can honestly say that we go to both Lowes and Home Depot equally. We choose which one to go to depending on what it is we need.

  918. Fifty for a Kwikie

    we have a billion projects going on in our house right now. I can never just finish one thing without starting another.

  921. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”… I have a local Ace Hardware that I just love. It’s close, it’s convenient, and their rewards program is great!

  922. Fifty for a Kwikie… I prefer Home Depot but end up at Westlakes most of the time just because it is so much closer:(

  923. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I have a favorite home improvement store just because of its proximity to the house. Less than two blocks away I can walk to Home Depot!

  924. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I actually love Home Depot! Not only is it close to my casa, the people there have become good pals due to my frequent trips for materials for my crazy DIY projects 🙂

  925. Fifty for a Kwikie! Love HD best, even though it’s all the way across town! Such helpful people there!

  926. Fifty for a Kwikie — I am actually at work replacing our locks— so far I have done the garage door and front door actually using the kwikset and love them. So easy to use. I would love more to do the outside doors.

  927. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot for me, since it’s less than one mile away from our house!

  928. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    Boy, does my front door need a new Kwikie, it’s starting to act all wonky.
    I go to both Lowes and Home Depot on a fairly regular basis.

  929. Fifty for a kwikie!! We don’t really have a favorite home improvement store, it totally depends on what we are looking for.

  931. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I’m 50/50 on Lowes and Home Depot, I like Lowe’s prices but Home Depot has some classier stuff.

  932. Fifty for a Kwikie. Home Depot is a great go-to place for my garden needs. Keeping fingers crossed!

  933. 50 for a kwickie!!! since home depot is less than a mile from us, we typically go there! congrats by the way on the pregnancy!!!

  935. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I am a regular at my HD since we have no Lowes nearby. Sometimes I would like even more choices! HD is just a great store to browse and unfortunately I always come home with a myriad of useful things….

  937. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    Our Lowe’s and Home Depot are pretty close together, and it seems like we go to both equally. I’d LOVE to win this!!

  938. Fifty for a Kwikie! Where we live we have a local lumber store and Ace so that’s where we go if we need something fast. If we need further, it is definitely Home Depot for us!

  939. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!!

    I usually go to home depot, there are 2 pretty close to my house, but there’s another neighborhood hardware store next to Sherwin Williams so I frequent there too.

  940. Fifty for Kwikie!

    I LOVE home improvement stores! Where I go just depends on what product I’m buying, but Home Depot is seeing a lot of me lately as we replace all of the baseboards in our house.

  942. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love your blog and want to replace all our doorknobs as well we have the ghastly gold ones that are chipping. My hubby worked at Home Depot during college so its definately our go to! I think I was there 3 times this past weekend haha

  943. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!

    Our go-to home improvement store is Lowe’s for two reasons. 1) we have two within a 10 minute drive from our house and 2) because they had a screaming deal on a washer and dryer on Black Friday, so we got their credit card/no interest financing. We’ve been going there ever since, but we’re not opposed to other places, and there is also a Home Depot close by, so we’d definitely find something to spend $50 on!

  944. Fifty for a Kwikie!!

    I actually generally shop at Home Depot for home stuff because of its convenience. There’s a local place I also like to go…but (womp womp) they are closed on Sundays! Big home improvement and project day at my home!

  945. Fifty for a Kwikie! The Home Depot near me is small, so I usually end up at Lowe’s, which is also closer. But, I usually check both when I am working on projects.

  946. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”

    I typically go for convenience. Ace is the closest…but I’m still a little bitter after spending $1400 to replace a window and remove gouges on my car after the employees neglected to move the rolling carts in during a thunderstorm. So the next closest is Lowe’s…it’s my go to for quickies (spraypaint, screws, etc.), but HD isn’t much farther so for larger projects I definitely comparison shop.

  947. Fifty for a Kwikie! I prefer Lowe’s (am I allowed to say that in a Home Depot giveaway?) because everyone at our local one is friendly and laid back, but helpful if asked…whereas at our local Shmome Shmepot the employees won’t leave you alone! Seriously, last time I went there I had about 10 people ask me if I needed help while looking at the cabinet knobs…which is such a subjective decision to be making I have no idea how they would have been able to help anyway. Grr. But to be fair, I’ve had more luck with some items at Home Depot, so I guess they each have their strengths and weaknesses.

  948. Fifty for a Kwikie! I like Home Depot more for DIY materials and supplies, way cheaper and closer to me. They have overall much better selection.

    Lowes has good outdoor furniture and rugs and things like that though.

    However, ACE Hardware has phenomenal hard-to-find products and I have to go there on occasion when even HD doesn’t carry something.

  949. Fifty for a Kwikie and I usually go to Lowes. They are closer to where I live and that makes for convenience. When I am looking for something special I will make time to drive to Home Depot and plan to shop there when I know I’m going to be close to one and in need. Another hometown favorite is Ace Hardware.

  951. Fifty for a Kwikie
    I have two Home Depots within 2 miles and seeing as my two toddlers are figuring out how to open Handle door knobs I am in desperate need to replace them with circular door knobs.

    Help

  952. Fifty for a Kwikie! I shop mostely at Home Depot because it’s the closest to work and home.

  954. ”Fifty for a Kwikie” – I am a fairly new homeowner and was trying to change my front door locks out myself when I accidentally locked myself out of the house. I had to take the entire lock set apart and couldn’t’ figure out how to get it back together so I ended up just going to buy a new one. Not a thrift move I know but I was so scared to sleep in a house with and unlocked door!

  955. Fifty for a Kwikie! I like Home Depot since it’s the most convenient for me and I always think the salespeople there are very helpful.

  956. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot or Lowe’s … there’s not too many other options, so I just go to the one that’s most convenient at that moment.

  957. Fifty for a Kwikie! I like Lowes and Home Depot, but HD usually wins out for convenience! These locks look awesome – I could definitely use some door locks for my new house!

  958. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    There’s a locally owned Ace-affiliated hardware store called “Pleasant’s” near our house, that while more spendy than the big boxes, is employed with LOTS of guys who know LOTS about whatever section they’re in, and they’re awesome about telling you exactly what you should and shouldn’t do, and should and shouldn’t buy for your project.

    We would never have been able to install the plumbing and electric when we put in our dishwasher without them.

  959. Fifty for a Kwikie. I love our local Dunn lumber. They are always happy to make perfect cuts for me, and every single board they have is perfect. I’ll never by wood from anywhere else!

  961. Fifty for a kwikie! Love Home Depot – the staff are always able to help, unlike at other “big” stores who sometimes have staff who don’t know what a rookie homeowner such as myself is talking about. And they have pretty flowers in the greenhouse area. Win-win.

  962. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE! We love both big blue and big orange… with the occasional County Stores thrown in because it’s closer!

  963. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    Save me from myself! I’m Oil-Rubbed Bronzing all the brass out of my house, but the exterior locks need to be completely redone!
    Home Depot and Lowes are right out my front door so I use either/or!

  964. Fifty for a Kwikie! I go to Home Depot all the time–and I really need a new lock on my basement door–people keep leaving it unlocked and I’m convinced I’ll get mugged down there one of these days.

  965. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I love HomeDepot and can’t wait to purhcase our first house and start stalking the store even more than I do now 🙂

  966. Fifty for a Kwikie! Menards is usually our go-to, but only because
    it’s the closest. But I do love Home Depot!

  968. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I prefer home depot as my home improvement store, because it seems to have more for true DIYers, where as I think Lowes has more decorative items. Horray for new door locks!

  970. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE! Home Depot is my store because it’s close and I know where to find everything. When we bought our house last summer I think we were there at least once a day for a couple weeks. We got to know the people and where things were located pretty quickly 🙂

  971. Fifty for a Kwikie I like both Home Depot and Lowes, either are about the same distance from my home. Close 3rd would be Menards.

  972. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home Depot is closest to my house, so that’s one of our go-to places.

  973. Fifty for a Quickie! It depends on what I need. Home Depot is about a three minute drive from my house and so is my go to when I’m in the middle of a project. Lowes is still relatively close, maybe 12 minutes, but I feel like my Lowes has more of a selection of items than my HD. This is only perhaps becuase of the smaller size of my local HD. Back in the town I grew up in, I never noticed a difference. However, I was usually just accompanying my father to the store and not shopping for myself! One other side note: it seems like I always have trouble finding things in Home Depot but do not have the same trouble in Lowes. And I’m definitely in HD more often. My husband doesn’t notice a difference and thinks I’m crazy. Maybe its just my girl brain and I think differently about where things should be located than the designers of the Home Depot stores! Anyone else ever have this problem? Or am I the only crazy one analyzing the layout of HD versus Lowe’s??

  975. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I used to go to Lowes all the time becasue that was closer- 5 minutes away. But then it closed, and the other Lowes is like 15 minutes away, so now I go to Home Depot which is 10 minutes away. Or as my husband calls it Homless Depot… I dont know where he came up with that, but he just started saying it one day, while knee deep in the middle of a bathroom reno- and it stuck!

  977. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”

    I definitely use Home Depot! Best selection, extremely helpful and very close to my house!

  979. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    No preference…yet. I close on my 1st home next month, so I’m sure I’ll develop one soon enough!

  980. Fifty for a Kwikie! I have an Orange and a Blue near me, but like all things in life — I shope based on price and the best bargain I can find!

  983. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home Depot is less than a mile from our new house. We’ve spent many o’ hours wandering around that store. We’ve also spent many o’ dollars – so a $50 gift card would be great!

  984. Fifty for a Kwikie! And it really will be b/c I’m buying a house and need to redo the locks 🙂
    I ususally go to Home Depot because it’s just a few miles away.

  985. Fifty for a Kwikie!! I like to shop at Home Depot or Lowes for home improvement. Whoever has the best bargain at the time!

  986. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I don’t own my home… but I’m stockpiling things to do when I finally purchase one!

  987. Fifty for a Kwickie! Not just saying this bc of the Home Depot love but that is my favorite store. For everything- esp Behr paint. I feel Home Depot falls in the middle of being for the everyday shopper. Lowes is a bit too fancy for me and Menards is a bit too “I work as a contractor” for me.

  988. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    Home Depot…it’s the closest so I go there all the time. We don’t have a Lowe’s so I’ve never been but I’ve heard it’s dreamy…

  989. Fifty for Kwikie!
    We are lucky to have TWO Home Depots very close to our house – they are amazingly helpful. In fact, we just ordered screen doors from them for our Front door makeover – next step: paint and new locksets 😉

  990. Fifty for a Kwikie!!
    I am from Atlanta, so it is Home Depot (and Coke products) all the way!!!!

  993. Fifty for a Kwikie

    Just from this previous weekend…Lowe’s. After going to Home Depot and Ace Hardware and breaking down in tears in an aisle because the people at the paint counter couldn’t help me. Lowe’s solved that problem (with me looking like crazy raccoon eyes-pregnant lady and all!).

  995. Fifty for a Kwickie!

    I love HD for plants, drawer pulls and paint, Lowes for plants and lumber and Menards for hardware and random things!

    Side note- we’re using Kwikset in Venetian Bronze and would LOVE $50 to keep on doing our locks! We’ve only done the exterior, pantry and study and have SO much to go!

  996. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home Depot and Lowes are about the same distance for me – no particular favorite between the two!

  997. FIFTY FOR A QUICKIE!
    I like Home Depot best. They are close to home, and have great customer service compared to their national competitor.

  998. Fifty for a Kwikie

    Mu favorite is Lowes because is less than 1 mile from home. But some stuff I can only find at home depot.

  1000. “Fifty for a Kwikie!”

    I can pull out of my driveway and drive 1.5 miles either left or right and will hit a Home Depot. Therefor, Home Depot is my favorite and I am there all the time!

  1001. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I love Home Depot, my son especially because he is obsessed with “driving mowers” as he calls them!

  1002. Fifty for a Kwikie! Lowe’s and Home Depot are equa-distant (is this a word?) from my house but the Lowes also has a DSW and Gap in the same complex so we usually go there. 🙂

  1003. Fifty for a Kwikie! Love Home Depot! Great products, close to home and helpful friendly staff.

  1004. Fifty for a Kwikie
    We love Home Depot but we also love Menards! it’s a regional store and they have great deals and they’re HUGE! Thanks for the shot!

  1005. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I prefer to frequent our local, family-run hardware store for everyday items. Sure, it may be a little bit pricier, but the mom and pop stores of our country are quickly dying out and we really do need them in neighborhoods. But if I have to go to a big box store, either Lowe’s or HD do the trick.

  1006. Fifty for a kwikie!

    For decor needs, I like Home Sense, Winners or Bed, Bath & Beyond. For Home improvement, we usually go the Home Depot route!

  1007. Fifty for a Kwikie! My favorite home improvement project has yet to begin. We’re just about (4 weeks away) from starting the renovation on our home. We’re talking ren-o-va-tion. Like, addition, gutting house to studs, renovation which will take multiple years to complete. Thank God for a husband who is a professional in the construction field.

  1008. Fifty for a Kwickie!!

    We definitely shop Home Depot and Lowes but try hard to use the small local guy too!

  1009. fifty for a Kwikie! Lowe’s is closest to our house, but that store has terrible customer service, so we drive the extra 10 minutes to Home depot. Love that place!!

  1010. Fifty for a Kwikie! We just purchased a house for the first time and been driving over to Home Depot every weekend, both Saturdays and Sundays. Definitely need new Kwikset locks!

  1011. Fifty for a Kwikie! I let my husband pick when it comes to home improvement stores, but I like to pick what we buy 🙂

  1012. Fifty for a Kwikie – my favorites rotate between Home Depot, Lowes and Menards. But True Value is the hometown favorite. It’s within walking distance and locally owned.

  1013. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I almost hate to say this (because I really want to win!), but at our house we most definitely prefer the Big Blue over the Big Orange. The number one reason is that there customer service, at least in our area, seems to be much better. A close second is that they are pet friendly and our Golden loves to go get belly rubs from the friendly employees there! That being said, we live closer to the HD and since we are renovating our entire house and make tons of trips to these type of stores each week, it’s nice to have handy. Oh, and we really prefer their doors & windows & lumber too.

  1014. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Our favorite is Home Depot. The sales associates are so helpful and never roll their eyes at my never ending dumb questions about home improvement projects 🙂

  1016. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    My choice in home improvement stores (well, any store for that matter) is always related to customer service. If a specific store offers me the customer service I need/want then I will drive twice as far and possibly spend a bit more just to give them my business.

  1018. Fiftie for a kwikie!

    We go to home depot because it is so clsoe to our house, and the manager there sees us often enough he know us by name and calls us Home Depot family! 🙂

  1019. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I live within 1 mile to Lowe’s ( and about 10 to Home Depot) but will go to the place with the better price and product to what I am looking for. Just scored a cage looking nautical light at HD and Lowe’s didn’t have anything similiar.

  1020. Fifty for a Kwikie! I usually go to Lowes, but only because they have the 10% off coupons in the change of address forms at the Post Office. Those bad boys are major cost savers! 🙂

  1022. Fifty for a Kwikie! The Home Depot on Derry Street is our go-to for home improvement needs!

  1023. Fifty for Kwikie!

    Right now I’d have to go with McGuckins – which is a local store here in Boulder that has what seems like the widest range of things. But – we’re in the process of buying a house that needs some TLC, so I’m sure I’ll have to branch out into the other options and may change my mind!

  1024. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!

    After years of frequenting Lowe’s… I’m a total lover of all things Home Depot. I could hang out in there all day. With all the home renovation stuff we’re doing – they have everything we need. Even out favorite Kwikie door locks – which we updated our front door to, the day we bought our house 🙂

  1025. Fifty for a kwikie!

    Home Depot is the only one in my area, so not much choice…

  1026. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!

    Lowes and HD are across the street from each other here in Southwest Louisville, but I love both of them and go the one with the best deal at the time!

  1027. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We frequent Lowes because it’s literally right down the street, while Home Depot is all the way across town. Home Depot does seem to have a better selection of some things, though, plus they carry Krylon spray paint, which gives them bonus points in my book. 🙂

  1028. Fifty for a Kwikie! We split fairly evenly between Lowes and Home Depot but prefer Home Depot’s plants!

  1030. Fifty for a Kwikie! We spend a lot of time at Home Depot. Our new house is near one where they actually have helpful people and customers haven’t stolen 1 bolt out of a parts kit (seriously, at our old place, people would do this. RUDE).

  1031. Fifty for a Kwikie! I usually end up at Home Depot because it’s so close to my house but I also like Lowe’s for their closet organizers and home decor!

  1032. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I don’t have a favorite home improvement store, but we visit Lowes most often because it is the only one (aside from Tractor Supply) in our small, farming community. Our nearest Home Depot is probably an hour away. I like both.

  1033. ”Fifty for a Kwikie” OH My Gosh you mean all my door handle/locks in my house would match! Really? could that be possible, no way….. really!?

  1034. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    My favorite is Home Depot-mostly because it’s about 2 minutes from where I live!

  1035. Fifty for a Kwikie!! Home Depot is close to work, but Lowe’s is close to home. We shop both!

  1038. Fifty for Kwikie! I use Ace because a brand new one just opened 10 blocks from my house, where as previously I had to drive to the burbs to get to a home depot. It’s also owned by a local woman who lives in my neighborhood, so Yay! for convenience and supporting local businesses 🙂 (Although I still head to Home Depot when I need something special, or a large selection of a particular item…)

  1039. We used to frequent HD but go to Lowes now since we no longer live by a HD. I love how helpful they are. And that they don’t care that my 2 year old could swing on the patio furniture for hours.

  1040. Fifty for kwikies! I go to home depot because it is closest and they gave me a good deal on a ceiling fan.

  1041. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We only have a Home Depot and Lowe’s in our town. My husband prefers Home Depot because he says Lowe’s is targeted more towards women (: As of lately, I have also favored Home Depot because they have had some pretty good sales.

  1042. Fifty for a Quickie.

    I have several Home Depots around my house to choose from.

  1043. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”

    Home Depot all the way, there is one about 10 mins from my house and im a regular 🙂

  1045. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”
    I really like Ace. They are close to home and I always get great service and advice!

  1046. Fifty for a kwikie!

    Convenience is usually a factor in choosing my home improvement store (home depot of course)

  1049. Fifty for a kwikie! I love love love Home Depot, unfortunately the closest one is 35 minutes away. For that reason I usually shop at the blue box store. (Hear me please HD powers that be….we really really really need a Home Depot in the Benson/Dunn/Erwin area. Pretty please with sugar on top?)

  1050. Fifty for a Kwikie
    Is TJ Maxx considered a home improvement store? That’s my fave and it definitely improves my home!

  1051. Fifty for Kwikie!

    I am fortunate to live in a close proximity to Home Depot, Lowes and True Value so I switch between them all. I do have to say that Home Depot has the BEST outdoor department.

  1052. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I LOVE HOME DEPOT!!! Got my tiger striped bamboo floors there!! Biggest and best house project yet 🙂

  1053. Fifty fora Kwikie!

    I like home depot for the prices/lowe’s because it seems more organized-less warehouse like/ace because it is right next door. I did try the new brand of paint at ace though and I am loving it so add one more point for ace.

  1056. Fifty for a Kwikie! Hm, that’s a tough one. Really depends on what I need. I got some gorgeous zinnia’s from Home Depot last summer that last like champs until almost Thanksgiving (and I live in TN!), and the plants I bought at Lowe’s weren’t nearly so hardy, so I’m going Home Depot FTW!

  1058. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I like both Orange and Blue, depending on what I need. I’m easy like that.
    xo

  1059. Fifty for a Kwickie!

    I shop at the Home Depot – mostly for proximity to my house and because they always have people around to help!

  1060. Fifty for Kwikie!

    We tend to be a Home Depot family because of its proximity to our house.

  1061. Fifty for a Kwikie and all will be fab. I shop all of the large hardware chains. All of them are close to my home and I love going to the hardware store! For odd little thing -a- ma-gigs, I love a little locally owned hardware, Beechwold Hardware. If they don’t have it, they know just how to get you something that will work.

  1062. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Lowes is closer but my last trip was to a Home Depot near work and the customer service I received was awesome to the point that I’ll likely shop there more often

  1063. Fifty for a Kwikie I don’t have a “favorite” home improvement store. Only because we live in a somewhat small town with not many options. Lowes, Ace, and True Value and that’s it. I wish we had a home depot!

  1066. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I typically use Lowe’s only because it’s the closest to my house. I do love me some Home Depot though!

  1069. Fifty for Kwikie!

    We normally end up going to Home Depot. I love these locks! I was so impressed, I’ve told a few people about them since I read your post yesterday 🙂

  1070. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I live in a small town, so Ace is the only place available where I live, we go there for small/every day needs. For larger needs/more selection we have to drive one hour to different cities to shop Lowes or Home Depot.

  1071. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We are remodeling our front entrance area. We go to Home Depot for many of our materials and this gift card would help with the cost of a new handset.

  1074. Fifty for a Kwikie!!

    Home Depot is my favorite home improvement store. Not only is it close to the house, I get the best costumer service there. 🙂

  1075. Fifty for a Kwikie! After my fiance and I bought our house last year, I feel like we lived at Home Depot with all of the repairs and improvements we had to make!

  1076. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    My favorite is Home Depot! They are close by and always have what I’m looking for!

  1077. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot is 5 minutes from our house, so that’s very handy. I love Lowe’s as well and a Menards just opened about 30 min away and that’s pretty cool too. I love home improvement stores.

  1078. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We usually go to Menards, as it’s the closet to our house and is pretty cheap. But Home Depot is also frequented a lot.

  1079. Fifty for a Kwikie!!
    (That makes me giggle).
    Home Depot is my fave improvement store because it’s close to our house.

  1080. Fifty for a Kwikie! I usually go to either home depot or lowes..which ever has the cheap price of the item I’m looking to purchase!

  1081. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”……We don’t have a Home Depot in our town, but when I go to the Big City, I have taken advantage of Home Depot!

  1082. Hi Katie-

    I would love for you to check out my daughter Lindsey’s website. She is 12 years old and has been singing for years. She has entered a contest to win $25,000. You can hear her songs and vote on her website at http://www.wix.com/lindseymendez/official

    Thanks,
    Sherry
    P.S. We homeschool our 4 kids, so I am sure they are going to turn out crazy/funny like you! (At least I hope so!)

  1083. Fifty for a Kwikie

    Whenever I look a product up online, Home Depot has the best price or selection.

  1084. Fifty for a kwikie!
    My husband and I love to go to home depot! We actually went on our last date there, to walk around and look at everything, and for my husband to admire the john Deere riding mowers. We are about to buy our first home so we like to go look and build things in our minds 🙂

  1085. Fifty for a Kwikie! It is definitely a tie between Home Depot and Lowe’s here. They are both really close to our house.

  1086. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I actually hit up Home Depot 9 times out of 10. It’s the closest to our house, and with gas prices growing – this is a plus!

  1087. Fifty for a Kwikie!!

    The closest home improvement store to us is Lowes by 45 minutes!! But when I’m at my parents we only shop at Home Depot!

  1088. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    My favorite is Tanis Hardware in NJ! It’s a fabulous family owned store and that family happens to be wonderful (and also my bff’s dad).

  1089. Fifty for a Kwikie… I usually use Home Depot but venture to Ace or Lowes if they don’t have what i need.

  1090. Fifty for a Kwikie! I have a Home Depot and an Ace near by. It depends on what I’m looking for, but I usually go to Ace because they are closer and it’s always super easy to find someone when I need help.

  1091. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!

    We don’t really have a preference. Ace is around the corner if we need something quick. We went to both Lowe’s and HD today in search of the perfect spray paint color. They’re next door to each other so it makes it convenient! 🙂

  1092. ”Fifty for a Kwikie” … I love when I can do down to my workshop and find just what I need. I like Ace Hardware right in the neighborhood, otherwise it’s off to Home Depot.

  1093. Fifty for a Kwikie…Home Depot is my favorite home improvement store. Mainly because I have great memories of going there with my dad growing up for some project he was always doing AND because I can always find what I’m looking for there when it comes to my own home projects. 🙂

  1094. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”! Home Depot had a wonderful sale last weekend. I was there Sat and Sunday!

  1095. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I grew up going to Home Depot with my dad for all of our home improvement projects (he would NEVER hire someone to do anything around the house). So I’m loyal to HD. But I also love Ace Hardware – I like the local feel to it.

  1096. Fifty for a Kwikie
    I prefer Home Depot which is very close to my new home.
    I would love to frequent this store when my house gets ready to move in.

  1097. Fifty for a kwikie–i use all of them. Menards, Home Depot, Lowes, Do it Best. All depends on how much stuff i need. i like lowes service/installment, but i tend to think home depot has better prices for the everyday stuff. do it best when i don’t want to deal with the parking lot of the big guys on the weekend.

  1100. Fifty for Kwikie!

    We generally stick to Home Depot. It is about a minute closer to our house than Lowe’s, but most importantly the staff seems to be much more helpful.

  1102. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE
    Home Depot & Lowes are within miles of each other where I live but I always go to Home Depot because it is the closest and it is right nex to chickfila! You know you get hungry doing DIY projects

  1103. Fifty for a Kwikie – We have a HD and a Lowe’s across from each other. I like HD for the big and or practical stuff and Lowes for the decorative stuff.

  1104. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love the Home Depots in my county – so much lighter, brighter and more welcoming than the Lowe’s around here.

  1106. Fifty for a Kwikie – the depot is my fav!! they have lots of the basics you need without taking up space for frills, like lowes!

  1108. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love Lowes because it is so close to us. We have about a 30 minute drive to get to any other stores!

  1110. Fifty for a Kwikie

    My favorite home improvement store is the Home Depot right down the street, especially since it’s conveniently located right by my other favorite store, Home Goods. I’m seeing at trend….

  1111. Fifty for a Kwikie (hehehe!)

    Moving into our first house in May, so we’re about to get to know our local Home Depot very well! We love that it’s in the city and so close to our place.

  1112. Fifty for a Kwiki!!

    I prefer Home Depot (cheaper), but Lowe’s is closer, so it depends on my needs.

  1113. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I usually go to Lowe’s because it’s closer, but I prefer to buy Behr paint from Home Depot.

  1116. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot’s tops, but I also love scouting the local Habitat ReStore for tools, materials, and other good finds!

  1117. Fifty for a Kwikie! We’re in the middle of painting, floors, crown molding, bathrom renos – whew! I got exhausted just reading it. Needless to say, we just moved in not too long ago 🙂

  1118. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I love Home Depot, Lowes, Ross, Marshall’s — anything home and decor related! 🙂

  1119. Fifty for a Kwikie!!! Lowes for quick purchases because it’s right by my house but, Home Depot for when I have time to go shopping. 🙂

  1120. ”Fifty for a Kwikie” I would probably say Lowe’s cause I could walk there its so close to our house. But if I’m out and about I stop at Home Depot – I actually really love one of the guys in their key/lock department because he gave me awesome customer service after I got locked out (it was a rough morning.)

  1124. Fifty for a Kwikie! Girl, you’re cheap!

    Lowe’s is our best friend since it’s less than two miles from our house, but we definitely make it across town from time to time for Home Depot! ESPECIALLY if I get 50 big ones!!

  1126. Fifty for a kwikie! Love our HD down the street. It’s definitely a weekly visit for us and even my 4 year old daughter asks to go there cause she likes the music they play and buying plants.

  1128. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE!
    I can’t decide between Home Depot and Lowes, and since I am living in a new city, and I am usually lost, I end up at one over the other only by chance. I might pick a favorite once I learn my way around!

  1129. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love Home Depot for many reasons– product selection, availability and QUALITY (important detail) of assistance, price (military discount!), community involvement, and employee treatment. I also like a local chain called Taylor’s Do-It Center. They are smaller, but have some of those specialized/regional-needs products that are harder to find elsewhere. 🙂

  1130. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We’ve been making A LOT of trips to hime improvement stores since the purchase of our new house last fall. We both prefer HD, which about 3 miles away from us. I do make trips to Ace to get Benjamin Moore paint, but sometimes I’ll just take the sample and have it matched at HD.

  1131. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Lowes is my favorite (sorry Home Depot) but really only because we can walk there!

  1132. Fifty for a Kwikie! I don’t really have a favorite, but I’m sure I will if (big if) we get our house…our Lowe’s and Home Depot are right across the street from each other too, so it makes it easy to compare prices.

  1133. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We go to both Home Depot and Lowe’s. Usually price is the deciding factor since we live the same distance away from both stores.

  1134. Fifty for a kwikie!

    We do Lowes, Home Depot, Ace, or Burkes (local lumberyard).
    Sometimes all four in the same day! :/

  1136. Fifty for a Kwikie! I hop back and forth from Home Depot and Lowes and go to a local lumbar yard for any wood related projects.

  1137. Fifty for a kwikie! I like Home Depot for the location, Lowes for the design-y stuff, and Ace for the helpful staff. So I guess it just depends on my needs for that day!

  1138. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We end up wherever the best sales are at!! Typically Home Depot! They beat everyones prices!

  1139. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!

    Home Depot is my preferred choice, because it’s the only option in my town 🙂

  1140. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We usually use Home Depot for big stuff and Menards for all the rest of it (they have the bigger selection). About to close on our house, totally gonna get some Kwikset locks for the doors.

  1142. Fifty for a Kwikie. Home Depot is the closest store to me, I know it’s aisles by heart.

  1143. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    Home Depot is super close to our house (and Target), so it’s our go-to. But Lowe’s is next to Hobby Lobby, so it definitely gets some love, too. In our hometown, they’re right next to each other, so it’s all a price war there. 🙂

  1144. Fifty for a Kwikie! This is great timing because one of my roommates just moved out on bad terms and we need to change the locks. Considering that she gave us about 12 hours notice and took all the furniture, we are in dire need of some home improvement to cheer us up!

  1146. Fifty for a Kwikie! I just like home improvement stores in general. They are fun to browse!

  1147. Fifty for a kwikie! I’m lucky – I have a lowes and a home depot directly across the street from each other, and within a couple miles of my house! I usually like home depot better though for some reason.

  1148. Fifty for a kwikie! When it comes to home improvement, proximity is most important because I’m the queen of multiple trips…..

  1149. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”

    I love me some Home Depot- their prices are good and the service is SOO much better than our local Lowe’s!

  1150. Fifty for Kwikie!
    My husband prefers Home Depot but I’ve heard so much about Lowe’s lately and I get their magazine which I love, so I’ve been going there more often.

  1151. Fifty for a Kwikie! We typically go to Lowe’s because it’s closer for us. The nearest Home Depot is about 45 minutes away, and kind of out of the way! I like their paint selection the best, though!

  1152. Fifty for a Kwikie! I go to Home Depot b/c they have better prices than Lowes most of the time.. but Lowes tends to be more organized.. Mine are next door to each other so I compare and compare and compare. =)

  1153. Fifty for a Kwikie! I have no preference – there is an Ace, Home Depot, and Lowes all pretty equidistant from our house. I’m one lucky girl!

  1155. Fifty for a Kwikie! LOL! That’s hilarious!
    I prefer Lowe’s to Home Depot, but HD is closer to us so that’s where I usually shop in store.

  1156. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot. Its only half an hour away from our spot in the boonies…our spot that had SNOW today. Just for putting up with snow at Easter, I think should win, LOL.

  1158. I love Home Depot! It’s closest to my house, the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, and I appreciate their stance on social issues. HD all the way!

  1160. Fifty for a Kwikie I typically find just what I need at Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, or a locally owned hardware store. Sometimes even Walmart! I know how lucky I am.

  1162. Fifty for a kwikie! Lowe’s is closer, but Home Depot has a better selection 🙂 I check out what Lowe’s has and usually purchase from Home Depot.

  1164. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We have Home Depot and Lowes close by so I like to shop the sales even though my BF prefers Home Depot where he used to work!

  1165. Fifty for a kwikie!!
    Although I live in North Carolina (home of Lowe’s), I am a tried and true Home Depot fan!! Yes, Lowe’s has lots of pretty fancy shmancy things, but I have more of an industrial/minimalist vibe about me, so I prefer the basics. Plus, in my town, it’s about 1000 times easier to find a cheerful, helpful worker at the Depot. 🙂

  1166. Fifty for a Kwikie! Our favorite is The Home Depot. It’s about 5 minutes from our house. Once in awhile though, we’ll make it out to Menard’s, but it’s really hard to drive that extra 2 minutes out. Ha! We live in a smaller city and you can get to anything within 10 minutes.

  1167. Fifty for a quickie!
    I have an Ace hardware within walking distance…but I often just take the drive to Home Depot. So much more worth it 🙂

  1169. Fifty for a Kwikie!!

    We’re pretty partial to the Depot and the Lowes, but are totally willing to head to a locally owned shop just because … 😉

  1170. Fifty for a Kwikie!!

    Home Depot. There are two very close to me, one more civilized than the other. Love the orange in their sign. Love them.

  1171. Fifty for a Kwikie! For some reason I prefer Menards for their good deals even though they don’t have as much decorating items.

  1172. Fifty for a Kwikie! I like both Home Depot & Lowes. Lowes is right by my house, so we tend to shop there more often.

  1173. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I prefer Home Depot to other stores – but I have 3 home improvement stores near my house so lucky me! I love, love, love the HD.

  1174. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home depot is my preference since it’s only 5 minutes from my house. We’ve been known to go there three times in one day while working on projects.

  1175. Fifty for a kwiwkie I usually go to lowes bc it’s the closest store to me. However I love me some home depot and their Martha Stewart paint!! Woot
    Woot gotta love some Martha! 😉

  1176. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I like Lowes and Home Depot equally, we usually don’t visit any others in my town. For paint, it’s HD all the way though. Their paint folks are way more knowledgeable.

  1177. FIFTY FOR A KWIKIE! I live about 10 minutes from both a Home Depot and Loews. They’re across the street from each other! I usually hit both, haha. Sometimes I’ll pop into Walmart if I think they’ll have what I need. Thx!

  1178. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I’m pretty lucky, I have a home depot and a lowes right next door to each other (they even share the same parking lot) a block from my house. If one doesn’t have something, I can usually pop over to the other to find it!

  1179. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I love that Home Depot will cut wood for you – that’s been a life saver to me!

  1180. Fifty for a Kwikie! The Home Depot is within walking distance from our house and on my way home from work, which might explain why we spend so much time and money there.

  1181. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Home Depot is our preferred home improvement store, although we do love going to Lowe’s for Christmas lights/decor and the occasional change in scenery.

  1182. Fifty for a Kwikie! I generally go to Home Depot, because it’s closer to my house:)

  1183. Fifty for a kwikie! There’s an old school hardware store near our home that has a little popcorn machine up front and they set up a miniature village at Christmas time, complete with a train. I love the charm… if that’s possible for a hardware store. 🙂

  1184. Fifty for a Kwikie! Ace Hardware because they’re the nicest and most helpful in our area!

  1185. Fifty for a Kwikie! Both Lowes and Home Depot are within the same driving distance from our house so we always go to both of them to compare prices! We love them both! =)

  1186. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I love Home Depot. Not sure why I have a preference, but it is my favorite, so I’m loving this giveaway! I want to stencil my walls, so I need some gorgeous new paint 🙂 Thanks Katie, and Home Depot!

  1187. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I like a little local place that has super helpful people but my 2.5 yr old loves (!!!!!!) Home Depot because they have a large ceiling fan selection (he can stare at them for 15 minutes muttering about turning them on and off) and the alliance section where he loves to push buttons and open and close doors. Plus the nice lady there often gives him a balloon.

  1189. Fifty for a Kwikie!! I pretty much always go to HD. The employees are nicer and much more helpful than at any other place. And their prices are better!!

    Thanks!
    Chrissi

  1190. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Love the HD and Lowes, but love that there is a local hardware store less than a mile from our house! Makes the little forgotten items a bit easier to retrieve!

  1191. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”

    We do 99% of our shopping at Home Deopt because it’s 5 mins away. When we first bought our house 7 yrs ago, we were there every week-end. The employee’s actually knew us by name.

  1192. Fifty for a Kwikie!!

    You know, we split our hardware store time between Home Depot and Ace Hardware. And not just one Ace’s, but two! I live near Decatur, GA and the Intown Ace Hardware on Scott Blvd is a must see! Wonderful place to buy gifts, and plants, and screws and nuts. It’s Marvelous, and you should take a trip down before you have 2 little ones to run after!

    http://intownhardware.net/sb.cn

  1193. Fifty for a Kwikie! We research brands/products online first, then head out to whichever store has the best value for that particular product. But when it comes to paint we prefer Home Depot!

  1194. ”Fifty for a Kwikie” we have Home Depot not too far away. We also have an ACE hardware down the street that has very helpful employees.

  1196. Fifty for a Kwikie. Lowe’s is closer, but we also shop at Home Depot when we’re in the area. Both places get our $$$

  1198. Fifty for a Kwikie! Both Home Depot and Lowes get our $$, but honestly (don’t tell the Home Depot people! 😉 we tend to like Lowes better.

  1199. Fifty for a Kwikie

    We shop between Home Depot & Lowes, but love our locally owned hardware store chain McLendon’s too. Ace is the closest to us, but doesn’t always have what we need.

    Our lock needs are not nearly as big as yours, but our little house still has 7 exterior doors between the house and garage. And don’t start ont the interior doors! We have 6 in just one hallway alone!

    Good luck with your continued improvements, Katie! You inspire me to get more done, if only I had more time!

  1200. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!! We are lucky enough to have a Home Depot and Lowes by our house…always Home Depot if I need to get in and out quickly, Lowes if I need to ask a few questions about the project. I find that the staff at Lowes actually have previous experience in the departments they represent whereas Home Depot seems to employ more teenagers just looking for jobs.

  1201. fifty for a kwikie… there’s a home depot AND a canadian tire literally a block from my home, so those 2 fit the bill!

  1202. Fifty for a Kwikie!! We pretty much only shop at Home Depot since we don’t have a Lowes or any other store nearby.

  1204. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    Lowe’s is closest to my house, and I like it, but I go to Home Depot for spray paint and for a wider selection on some stuff, like plants and outdoor stuff.

    Home Depot For the Win!

  1205. fifty for a kwikie!
    I have a Lowes and a Home Depot across the street for one another

  1206. Fifty for a Kwikie! We are closer to a Lowes but choose the Home Depot since the traffic to Lowes is always a nightmare.

  1207. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love being walking distance from my neighborhood Ace and am just a short car ride from a Lowes, Home Depot, and a Menards.

  1208. Fifty for a Kwikie! We have a Lowe’s right down the street so we end up there on weekends!

  1211. Fifty for a Kwikie.

    My favorite home improvement store is simply based on nostalgia. When I was growing up, my dad and I would frequent Home Depot on Saturdays. Just like Will Ferrell in Old School: “Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we’re going to go to Home Depot…”

  1213. Fifty for a Kwikie!! Menard’s is the closest to us, so that’s where we go if we need something fast. Lowe’s is the 2nd closest, so we’ll go there for bigger things and/or to price compare. Home Depot is not convenient to our house, but I do shop there if I’m looking for something purty…like light fixtures, window treatments, etc. They seem to have a better selection. We moved into our new home 1 year ago this week (!!!) and still haven’t changed the locks! Yikes! We would definitely put the $50 to good use!

  1214. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We have all the major home improvement stores near us so location is not a big deal. We tend to like Home Depot more than Lowes for building stuff. Lowes has better decor selection. We also use our Stock Building Supply store for wood and molding – sooo much cheaper than the box stores!

  1215. Fifty for a Kwikie!!!
    Mainly shop at HD but also love the in-town ACE in Decatur!!!

  1216. Fifty For A Kwickie!
    We’re Lowe’s fans but that’s probably because our local HD employs a bunch of fools.

  1217. Fifty for a Kwikie! I prefer anything I am near…usually Lowes because I have one 5 minutes away. I do love Home Depot when I’m in the city it is located in. I would love to update my kitchen!

  1218. Fifty for a Kwikie! Love Menards, as they tend to have the best prices and biggest variety for the type of projects we do. They also have a grocery section and I can grab a gallon of milk for the same price it is at my grocery store. Gotta love that convenience!

  1219. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    My favorite home improvement store would have to be Totem.. mostly because they always have free popcorn there for their shoppers to snack on while wandering the aisle’s.. I believe it’s a gimmick to get their customers to stay there longer and buy more. Whatever the reasoning behind the free popcorn, I’m all game 🙂

    No preference. Usually we go to whatever is convenient or open (you know how those projects and multiple hardware store trips work.lol). We have an Ace Hardware here in town but have to drive out to the Home Depot and Lowes.

    Growing up, True Value in my small town. Now, Home Depot is my one of my frequent haunts.

  1223. fifty for a kwikie.

    Lowe’s is the favorite at our house because my boyfriend says “They put things where they go so I can get in and get out”

  1225. I go for Home Depot b/c of Location, but there is another (pricier) hardware store I just love to go look in!

  1226. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    There is a Home Depot two minutes from my house. Obviously, it’s the home improvement store of choice around here!

  1227. Fifty for a Kwikie
    We usually go to Lowe’s because it is closer but Home Depot is the only place that I can find my favorite paintbrush, the Wooster Shortcut. LOVE that brush!

  1228. Fifty for a kwikie!

    I usually prefer Lowes because it was built first and it was a long time before we got a Home Depot. Now, I still like Lowes for browsing but I often find better prices at HD!

  1229. Fifty for a Kwikie

    I usually go to home depot or lowes for our home rehab projects, whichever is closer depending on where we are when we decide to get on some project.

  1230. Fifty for a Kwikie! Lowe’s is closest to me, but I drive the extra two miles for Home Depot.

  1231. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    My house was built in 1986. The realtors (yes, not architects) who designed it, built it, lived in it for one year apparently were in love with medieval light fixtures. The worst of these is in our master bathroom. It is a double- chain with hanging spiked glass ball eye-sore. It needs to be replaced and I’ve already been window shopping at Home Depot 🙂 I need the money!

  1232. Fifty for a Kwikie
    I shop where I can get great quality for a good price. Both “BLUE” and “ORANGE” are great, and across the street from each other, so honestly it may just depend on what side of the street I’m on! 🙂

  1234. Fifty for a kwikie!
    I’m a home depot girl…it doesn’t hurt that it’s the closest 🙂

  1235. ”Fifty for a Kwikie”!

    I like our little hometown hardware store if I need something small. They don’t have a huge range, but it’s good quality stuff and I’m happy to support a local business. The big home improvement stores are so much fun to shop in, but they’re a longer drive away and when I go I always end up spending way more than I planned…too much great stuff for a DIY-er!

  1236. Fifty for a kwikie! I’m partial to Lowe’s. The employees always seem to be more knowledgeable than the other store’s.

  1238. Fifty for a Kwikie.

    I really wanna start a veggie garden and Home Depot is having a sale on seeds and starter veggies!

  1239. Fifty for a Kwikie!
    I like Lowe’s. It’s closer to our house and we always seem to find what we need.

  1241. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    If I’m being honest, Lowes for appliances, Home Depot for everything else!

  1242. ”Fifty for a Kwikie” – I live in a small-ish town. We have 2 Home Depot stores and 1 Ace HomeCo. I like the people at Ace since they try to cater to women too and have great child proofing stuff but Home Depot is a little easier to get to since there is a bus stop at that corner. (No car, single mom with a double stroller for twins – I vote for easy !)

  1243. Fifty for a kwikie!

    We split our time pretty evenly b/w Lowes and HD, but always head to the Depot for Behr when it’s time to paint 🙂

  1245. Fifty for a Kwikie! HD is definitely my fave home improvement store – I think my husband and I own a corner of our local store!

  1247. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I like Lowes best (just a little cheaper) but Home depot is really close to my house, so that’s usually where I go. Who would have thought a post about door locks would be interesting? But I’m sold. I want the same ones you have! Just awesome not having to change a million locks when you misplace a key, or don’t want a spare circulating with someone anymore. 😛

  1251. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    All you lucky ducks who live in America… I’m an ex-pat now and totally miss the ease of finding those stores! 🙂

  1252. Fifty for a Kwikie 🙂 I am very lucky because we have both Home Depot and Lowes within a couple of blocks from our house, as well as an Ace just a bit further away from that. With purchasing a new-to-us home that is older than my Grandparents, there is quite a bit of re-hab involved.

  1253. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    We are closing on our first house next week and it would be awesome to win new locks! There are a Lowes and Home Depot literally across the street from each other about a mile from our house. There is also a small independent hardware store that I’m excited to check out 2 blocks away from our new house!

  1254. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    My favourite is definitely Home Depot. They seem to be everywhere so no matter where I am it is in close proximity. And this is going to sound SO stupid but since my boyfriend is a contractor I feel really cool parking in their “Contractor Parking” spots.

  1255. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home Depot and Lowe’s are equally close to me (and both have military discounts, so my boyfriend comes in very handy at both places!) but I’m partial to Lowe’s. Probably just because it’s on the more convenient side of the highway.

  1256. Fifty for a Kwikie!

    I like both Lowe’s and Home Depot, and I also consider our local nursery a home improvement store! 🙂

  1257. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home Depot and Lowes are right next door to each other so I usually shop both for comparison! Wish it wasn’t those two stores that get my paycheck, but its all in the name of some good ol’ renovation!

  1258. ”Fifty for a Kwikie” I LOVE LOWES! It’s right next to the Goodwill:) LOL

  1259. Fifty for Kwikie!

    I love Home Depot but there’s not one closer than an hour away so we end up at Menards on quick visits!

  1260. The Home Depot is my fave simply because of the huge selection of everything! They have way more then tools and toilets!

    Fifty for a Kwikie

  1261. Fifty for a Kwikie! Home depot is our main stop for any home improvement. Lowes is sort of distracting and overwhelming for me haha.

  1262. Fifty for a Kwikie! I love Home Depot for most of my home improvement needs. They’ve got great quality and selection. But, I always stop by Lowe’s for garden needs. I don’t know what they do to their plants, but I’ve never had one die from them 🙂

  1263. Fifty for a Kwikie! I don’t really have a preference, but Lowes is usually on my route already so I go there more.

  1264. fifty for a kwikie!
    We loved home depot when we lived in charlotte. But now that we’re in New York City, I’ve been running down the street to the little local hardware store for all my screw and spackle and random stuff that we’ve needed to whip this apartment into a home!
