I couldn't leave well enough alone.  I wrote an email to HD corporate about the 1st store I called refusing to honor their own price (and mostly about the guy pretty much hanging up on me when he told me no).  I got a call from the store manager late last week asking me to come in so that he could make it right.  I went in yesterday and picked up 10 more packs at $4.88 (7 for me and 3 for a friend).  He asked me is that was all I needed.  He would have sold me all he had at that price.  I had my coupe, and my friend had a small vehicle too so fitting 7 2-packs in mine and 3 in his was already a challenge.  I had a 10% off coupon that he allowed me to use, so I got them for $4.39 per pack.  I counted last night.  I have a bit over 700 lbs of Kingsford stacked up in the garage right now (luckily, we get no moisture at all in there).  My wife says I should be good through 2015.  :P

I love it when companies do the right thing. So easy to lose a customer.....hard to get one back.
