Open bag discount at Lowes

I went into Lowes today looking for rocks, and came out with dirt, lol.

They had a bunch of torn bags piled up in the corner. So I asked the guy how much they were and he said 10% off the normal price, so I passed.

The garden manager then came up to me and said wait..."I want to get rid of it, will you take it for 50% off?" I said oh yes I would...and he loaded me up.

It was organic peat compost! I got 5 bags = 200 lbs.

I love those open bag deals. Last year we replaced a lot of decorative rock and had to make about 3 trips to Lowes to fill the back of the SUV with bags of rock. On the third trip we saw several opened/ripped bags of the same rocks we were buying for half off sitting on a pallet! Some rocks were missing but it was a great deal on something we had to get anyway!
