I prefer to do business with Agri Supply or Rural King. Those companies' policies and philosophy are more in keeping with my values than Tractor Supply's are. Agri Supply is a huge facility that has everything that a homesteader or small-scale farmer could ever need. I find that Agri Supply's prices tend to be effectively the same as Tractor Supply's. Agri Supply isn't a huge chain like TSC is, so I count myself lucky to be near one. Take care and God Bless.
Here in Ocala Florida we have a rural king and the prices are pretty affordable, but I wasn’t aware that tractor supply has a price match policy since I really never shop there. However, thanks for letting us know going forward I’ll definitely keep that in mind.
The new manager at ours said he just wouldn't sell to us for a $10 difference. He was dismissive and didn't really care. We walked out and then returned with $180 worth of dog food we bought the we week before. I asked him to show me where the price match guarantee excluded other tractor supplies. Now I'm waiting for his boss to call me. We are a small town and the I know most of the employees in there. They said him and his wife swapped stores. She got the larger one in a worse area. So that explained his dismissive attitude because they were the only farm store in that area.
Up until a few weeks ago, TSC was our go to place for nearly all things farming. I then learned of an event they were involved in down in Waco, TX. This was their second year of being involved in that event. Videos of the event are on the internet. I saw the videos and decided to end my relationship with TSC. I personally will not knowingly support a company that supports men that are dressed like women performing sexually provocative dances in front of little children. No judgment on others for shopping there, but I ain't doing it!
I'm sure there's many who had no ideal they would honor one of their other store prices Most people I find just think they match prices from competitors. As they say it takes a penny to make a dollar It takes a smart person to save that penny.
Personally I'm done with tractor supply. I'd rather not support a company that sponsors drag shows for children. There are plenty of other options including local independent places.
Recently I found plenty of items that were 25% + overpriced so I’m only using them for emergencies. The biggest one was a brake kit for my trailer. One wheel at TS for brakes and drum was $300 I got the same brand same product on Amazon for $400 for all four delivered to my front door. It was ridiculous. We don’t shop there any more.
My husband tried the same concept with lumber from Home Depot. Only problem is the company changing the product number on the item to get around price matching the same item from another store in a different location. We bought 2 x 4 x 8 stud length lumber from a Home Depot near Richmond, VA ($2.34) vs a higher price in Lynchburg, VA ($3.99). Made two trips and bought a trailer load of lumber each time - price difference easily paid for the gas going a longer distance from home.
yep My tractor supply says they don`t have to match their own store!!! lol I finally found a manager who did match it, this was last spring for oil for tractors
I did a youtube video on this as well a few months back! I have saved thousands of dollars price matching. Huntsville, Alabama and I believe Dothan Alabama.
something about the sensasionalism ppl use now in Yt tiles that seems to add to my stress or anxiety. whichever one I can feel like another weight from just reading them
That’s very good to know. We use tractor supply a lot! Matter of fact we bought feed there the other day and they already had a chart by the counter for the price match and they knocked it down to 9.99 when it was originally 17.99 so I was pretty dang happy about that
Thanks for the tip. Talking about shavings in my area they went to two dollars a bag in one year a bit of a price gouging I believe. I stay local farm shops as much as possible sometimes pay a little bit more but I support local businesses in the same way I appreciate the support we get with our farm products. Another savings we get here in South Carolina we have what is called scate card This allows us to pay no sales tax on anything related to farm business. Also George has one called gate card this their farm tax exempt.
I'll have to see if my local tsc will honor price match from tsc in another state across the country. That would save me $3.00 a bag on shavings. There is no Rural King in my area. Thanks for the info!
I was excited to finally get a closer Tractor Supply Store, then I went in and saw the prices. Why are they charging more money in smaller towns? Especially when most of the things are readily available online? At least Ace Hardware is still reasonable.
I just had to pick up some shavings at tractor supply when I went to fry's the locally owned pet store is now pet since owned by tractor supply so they don't like competition.
We live on Arizona and there are no rural kings anywhere near here, but we do have a Cal Ranch. Also, how local does the sign mean? Same town, county, state? Within a certain amount of miles?
That’s a good price hack that we’ve used for years but be aware to do your homework before you go. Not speaking for where anyone else lives but both of the local TSCs near us have some type of disrupter that inhibits cellphone signals within 50 feet of them. The employees, themselves, are aware of this and have told me that I “may need to go out to the parking lot” to get a signal while I’ve been at the register to pay.
The Tractor Supply sign that you showed said that they'd price match any "local" competitor, so how is shopping online at a store that's not local including themselves qualify as a local competitor?
lol. i had a young guy chasing me around a tractor supply years ago trying to give me a free hat. i wear hats and thought how strange a guy right out of the blue wants to give me a free $11 hat. I wasn't even thinking at the moment i was wearing a Rural King hat.
Straighten out the "C" in TSC brand name and it'll fit better. I was looking to buy my feed local well before the drama erupted. I get a lot of people are fuming and feel betrayed. Personally I'm not surprised. TSC is a large business and they are trying to appeal to every kind of customer. Besides the idea they they're a bastion of Americana is just misguided. The product is primarily hecho en China imported goods. It's just a veneer over top of the same rotten business model as every other faceless corporation. As always though good content and I'm not a cancel culture cult member so I'm not going to abandon your channel because you shop at TSC. Looking forward to the next video!
Hi guys hope all is well. Watching your last pig narrowing videos that are my favorites but u guys had some issues. I just saw something on another channel. May have some plans for your craft works if not get one. Osborne pig narrowing huts. Wow this would have helped with your last issues. Check it out
I'm banned for life from Tractor Supply for selling chickens in their parking lot just one time. They asked me to leave, I left and now I am banned for life. They hate small business.
I mean you are selling something that they also sell. I wouldn't say they hate small business, more they don't want you to use their name to attract customers and then you take their customers. I'd do the same thing they did. It's like someone posts a for sale post on a forum and then you comment saying you have the same thing for sell.
Really? Ours doesn’t sell baby anything inside. Locals sell all kinds of unwanted livestock on Saturdays only till 12. I think it helps there business. Always packed on Saturdays.
@@TexasRedneck some locations do, others do not. I don't see a huge deal if that location does not. Regardless, they could have just asked him to leave. Personally, I'm done with tractor supply though.
@@TexasRedneck I do that all the time, posts under someone. It's a public forum. A parking lot is also a public place. Until the owner of the land says you can't do business there the law says you can transact publicly without a licence. See the 1st Amendment to the USC for details.
These stores are a scam . Never bought anything from them . They don't carry what I use on the farm and if they do its to expensive . Stop advertising for these people your being scammed into free advertising for them .

AMEN! WILL NEVER SHOP THERE AGAIN!
I don’t do business with Tractor Supply. I am surprised you do business with them. You should check what the corporate sponsors.
Thanks for pointing this out. I expected far more feedback like this about the scumbag that Tractor Supply has become.
This hack absolutely works. Just used it in Mt Airy, NC against the store in Wytheville. Thanks Chuck!
I just used this on feed for chickens and it did save me money. Thank you

The Tractor Supply store was 90 dollars on 24% cattle tubs. The local feed store 20 minuites away was 75 dollars. A different brand but still 24%.
I pay $52 for them.
Literally just did this with my home store and the Wytheville store and a 10ft bunk feeder was $60 different. Definitely will be using this!!
Awesome!!

Very interesting. Keep me posted on what happens.
My local tractor supply also offers an additional 5% discount on top of the price match. Ask yours for it as well

Those shavings are $7.19 at my store! Thanks for the wonderful tip! God Bless You!

Kevin, I too have decided the same thing.
Truth!
You could always do a little bit of photoshopping and get that 699/649 welder for 449. Just call it a woke tax.
Never heard of them doing that.

the ceo's of these companies should be lined up
Sure appreciate your Patronage at TSC......Because we supply 4 stores with small square bales.....

Same bag of pine shavings at my local store is $7.49. 20 miles away it’s $5.59
Ha has to drive all the way to Wilkes county to get stuff from tractor supply
yep My tractor supply says they don`t have to match their own store!!! lol I finally found a manager who did match it, this was last spring for oil for tractors
S.w. Michigan here. We have a store called "family farm and home" I have found everything is cheaper there vs. Tsc.
This is a fantastic tip and one that I will use. Thanks Chuck

Great info will check out
I think also stores like lowes and Walmart even do this price match.
Is orslen feed & home under the tsc banner, thought I heard they were bought up two years ago.

I was told this by a TC employee today
So, can I use stores on the east coast sale if I live in Arizona where I'm in the West ?
Try and see. Let me know if it works.
Thanks chuck ,never know that...

Shelbyville KY has both as well
Cool thanks 😊
Thank you, very interesting 🤔
I was thinking that you would check for ones that also had Tsc baseball caps 🤪
everything should be the same price for everyone.

I tried to shop compare and get them to price match.. they told me that they independently owned..and the price is their price
Where is there no sales tax?
Thought the difference was rural vs urban.
Wonder if this would help me here in Texas :D

Martinsville va rural king
Thanks for this tid bit to help me save some pennies
Didn't they just put some woke stuff in their corporate message?
Not just, it’s been there a while (2015 I think). But then openly funding WOKE programs in 2020, especially transgender.
What does "woke" mean?
Is there no tax in NC?
I would guess he has a farm tax exemption
This works
These stores are a scam . Never bought anything from them . They don't carry what I use on the farm and if they do its to expensive . Stop advertising for these people your being scammed into free advertising for them .
Sorry Chuck but we've moved on from the drag show supporters
I agree
👍
