Jerry's for the win, again! They have now helped me with TWO seasonal needs…read more First, they are where I found the cheesecloth that I desperately needed for my Halloween costume. It was exactly right for my purposes. I am absolutely going to use it again the next time that I need to see out of a mask. Ten/ten recommend. Second, they are my go-to for winter insulation. I love my louvered porch windows in the summer--they are great for getting the air flowing. In winter? Somewhat less enamored. My porch gets cold, which means my living room can be a bit more invigorating than ideal. I always know that I can go to Jerry's to pick up window insulating kits that will help seal the cracks and keep me cozy. Good prices and some of the most helpful and courteous staff in town--this is a truly awesome neighborhood resource.

So, we knew that we needed something more powerful. We were greeted by a friendly guy when we entered the store and he directed us to the section where we'd peruse the drain cleaner options. We decided on the "professional strength crystals" and headed out. The young man who rung us up was also friendly and asked if we'd found everything that we needed. We did. Will be back if we have a need and are in the area. We were on our way back home from a movie at AMC Southdale.

In my case, I needed a new valve and line for the ice maker on my fridge. Immediately the employee let me know what aisle to go to and then another employee came to help me figure out exactly what I needed. It's a HUGE TIME SAVER compared to walking around aimlessly at big box hardware stores! PRO TIPS: - Sign up for their Ace Rewards program. It's free and you'll earn back on it. - If you live in the area, check the local coupon mailers because sometimes there will be a nice percent off coupon to this Ace store. - They have had items such as kiddie pools when other big box places are sold out.

They make every trip there a pleasure and you can't help but leave with a smile, even if you didn't want to make a trip to get the right size screw or color of caulk. Thank you to all of them for always being so friendly and knowledgeable, for being a constant reminder of the small-town atmosphere of STMA, and for having a really wonderful selection of products in a convenient location. Please take the time to give them your business as much as possible over the larger home improvement stores.

For the frugally-minded, Harbor Freight is a gold mine. Forget Home Depot and Lowe's when you're…read morebargain-hunting. You can reasonably expect to save anywhere from 20-30% or more on similar items at Harbor Freight. While the store layout is not particularly appealing, I like how it's much more manageable in size than their Big Box counterparts. Also, make sure to check their website, as you can often find great close-out deals there, too. With the holiday season upon us, Harbor Freight is also a great place to buy gifts for family members. They have all sorts of smaller-ticket items for the beginning tool enthusiast. For instance, a 105-piece starter tool kit for $50.
