Yes they are. I know Home Depot has no fans here but I go to them before Amazon quite a bit and I get a savings for doing so and I usually get some sort of perk by buying a Home Depot gift card at a retailer offering gift card incentives so it's cheaper up front and I get small kickback on the backend.

Yeah, I've mentioned it before in this thread, but Amazon built their reputation by selling decent stuff as cheap as possible. Once they'd cemented that reputation, they started offering more and more junk while raising prices. Since people don't pay attention to incremental change, they never noticed when Amazon became more expensive than everyone else, and they somehow kept their reputation for being cheap.

I had a credit so I ordered a couple of things to use it up. I'm going to get a couple new cards, then I'll quit Amazon completely.
