We don't have a HD here. Lowe's new military discount policy is no appliances, period. Six months ago I would have gotten the discount. Not now. It also extends to some building materials, electrical equipment and other random stuff. 

Fort Bragg is a 45 minute drive away and a lot of active duty, veterans and retired folks live here and people are pissed off about this new policy according to the guy that helped us. 

Sadly we lack local competition in the form of another home improvement store so unless we want to drive an hour to the nearest competitor we're limited with our choices. With gas at $4.39/gallon no one is making that trip if they don't have to.
