So this Morning, I called around to different hardware stores to find a replacement Bulb for My…read morestinger bug Zapper. The last place I called was Home Supply, on Main Street in Belfast, trying to keep my money local and help local business. I was told to bring my bulb in as they had a few to choose from. So after My errands at the Greenhouse, we went to Home Supply, to see what they had on hand. Upon approaching a guy that works there who was still in his pajamas, he proceeded to inform us he only had 2 bulbs to choose from and that we should just buy a whole new bug zapper as we would never get a replacement bulb, as no one makes them. I told him this was our 4th replacement bulb and that we can always find one as we have for years, he then got snotty and said, " Then go somewhere else and buy from someone else then". I said, "Really? I come in here to shop locally and you treat me like crap because I won't buy a whole new bug zapper from you? I will not be back"!!, He then shouted at me and said, " That's fine by me"!. I have been a patron there for years, but NEVER again!!! I have NO reason to go out of my way to spend my money in a place that treats me like Garbage. I will go to Home depot where they have it in stock for 17.00.

When you consider not having to drive 18 miles to get an item from one of the big box stores, the value they provide is almost priceless.
