CountyLine 25 Ton Splitter at TSC $899

I wish we had a Rural King. The closest to me is 330 miles away.


My name is Mike, and I'm a hoarder in Ok.

I think my experience with the local TSC shortly after it opened says it all. We went to the store at 8?am on a Sunday. Closed. No sign on the door for hours of operation. We went back an hour or so later and it was open. As we were checking out, I suggested they put an hours of operation on the door. She had a dumbfounded look on her face and didn't respond. We went back a month or so later and still no hours of operation sign. We rarely go there.

 

Our local TSC store is still a "farm store"...the next closest one is in a wealthier area, and their store is a lil more "yuppieville"...their prices are higher too (but they will price match our closer store)

 

I really do miss Farm & Fleet. I remember being pretty young and spotting a Husky 394 on the shelf there. I couldn't think of anyone who would need a saw that big. But I wanted it none the less. LOL

 

We've got those and fleet farms as well. The closest TSC' s are about 30 minutes away either direction. There's no rural king in Wisconsin afaik

 

We had a Farm n Fleet, soon after they closed RKO came in (the same building) They are on the "farm" end of town, then TSC is on the "shopping mall" end of town.
We don't have one in this county, but I know in a couple surrounding counties there is a Family Farm n Home...only been in those once or twice, not too bad IMO.

 

TSC is ~20 minutes away, Farm & Fleet ~15 minutes and Fleet Farm ~35 minutes. Closest Rural King is 2 hours and 45 minutes away in N IL.

 

Farm and Home (Do it Best) in Wellington, OH is a great store, but they do seem to charge Nashville prices

 

Our closest TSC is a T-Shirt shop IMHO. I never knew that TSC charged differently at each store until recently. A friend of mine bought some pellets at store A, and they were much cheaper at store B, and they did a price match. They told him in the more "affluent areas" they charge more. What a load of BS.

I'll drive 30 minutes to RK every day of the week vs driving 15 minutes down the road to TSC just because of that reason. RK also has much better prices than TSC.

 

DIB is for sure handy but not really thrifty. I need to stop by there and have a couple of keys made.

 

Only TSC around here. I pass a couple on a regular basis. I only get bar oil (when its on sale) and now birdseed there. I don't really price shop there, but one is next to Walmart so I guess they have to be cheap to compete. The other is in a more affluent area so I'll have to do some price comparison.
