Lowes Hardware Store in Tyler and Lindale

July 6th, 2010


When you are redoing your kitchen or bathroom, or if you are building that new play ground for your children, you want to know the best place to buy your materials. If you are like me than you probably want to know where the people are most ready to help you and answer all your questions.

I hate going into a Tyler TX hardware store and not finding anyone to help me, and I have no idea what I need to accomplish my projects.

At Lowes they have a little switch that you flip when you need help. This system is extremely annoying, and it does not work. So many times we have sat at a counter and waited for someone to answer the intercom announcing that there is help needed in the washer machine department. So many times no one has come and I just give up and walk away.

I can just picture two men arguing while they are out back having a smoke, who should go out and help me. Not only does this system not work at all, the automatic intercom voice is extremely annoying. I cringe when I need to ask for help because of the reason that I have to hear that voice. I think that all home improvement stores should have more staff ready to help answer questions.

Lindale opened a Lowes hardware store a few years ago. This really makes it a whole lot easier to go to the hard ware store when you live out towards Lindale. I have live out in the country and been working on a house, and it is really hard to do big projects when you have to drive an hour to get to the closest store. I really do like to go to Lowes because they have great deals, especially on appliances.

When your car barely fits your double stroller in the trunk, you can not really expect to fit a dish washer in your car, so Lowes has delivery. At times their delivery services are really great. But I have witnessed a stressful experience when Lowes had to deliver a washer machine and the first washer machine did not work, the second machine had such a big dent in the side that the barrel inside could not turn.

It got pretty frustrating when you have a lot of people doing the laundry in one house and no washer. But there was a time that they successfully delivered and installed a stacked washer and dryer with out hurting it or doing to much damage to my house.

The delivery service is pretty affordable but if you know how to install these appliances than I recommend that you borrow your friend’s truck and pick it up yourself.

If you wait until the end of the season, you can find great sales. At the end of the summer I found a beautiful outdoor swing for about half the price. If you are willing to wait you can find everything you need for the next year at a really great price.

Lowes has all that you need for any building project, I just recommend that you take someone with you that knows what they are doing, because you probably will have to hunt down help in the store.

Tyler Hand Me Ups

January 8th, 2010

Tyler Hand Me Ups is located in Tyler Texas close to Tyler Junior College. The store is just a couple of lights down on your right in a little shopping area with another store surrounding that. Hand Me Ups is a used clothing sale where you can find lots of good deals for very low prices.

The clothes are in very good condition and many are name brands. A lot of the time the store runs lots of sales store wide anywhere from 20% – 25% off the original price. There have been many times where I found clothes for $2 or $4 per item on really cute kids clothes. Trust me I love clothes and shoes so I would not lead you astray when it comes to clothes.

Besides clothes you can find shoes and I have seen name brands there and again for a reasonable price. You can also find, purses there, belts and some jewelry. They even have perfume.

If you are looking for baby clothes, usually they have very cute items that you can find there for your children, teens or adults. If you have no money to spend on clothes, then they have an opportunity for you to where you can take your clothes there and they will sell it for you and you give them a percent and you make some also. It’s a win, win situation, I think.

Anyways the people there working are very friendly and always ready to help you find what you are looking for. You can also choose to be put on their mailing list. And anytime they have a sell or something going on they give you a notice and sometimes they send you a card with an extra 10% off. I am truly a fan of this place. I seem to be able to find great deals, nice clothes for a price that I can afford.

If buying clothes that are second hand does not bother you, I would go and check it out. There have been times that I found items that still had their tag on it. Either way you can have fun, just going and checking it out, just to see what they have. It won’t hurt going by and besides you actually might end up liking it and finding lots of new stuff for yourself or for others.

Just like any other place you probably have to go there more than once. What I mean by that is, if you go and don’t find anything to your liking, I would not give up. I would go back several times again before you decide that the place has nothing for you. Like I said in the beginning, I love it and it suits me, and my price range. But you will have to go see for yourself to see if you like it or not. Everybody likes to look nice and I don’t think too many people like to spend more than they have on clothes.

I am a girl and one that loves to be girly but don’t have lots of money to spend on it so I look for good deals and they seem to have it.
