Just an isolated example: Lowes 1-lb electro galv roofing nails 3.33. Local
lumber yard 2.79. Same brand and all.
Now at the "Building Supply" place where I had to get matching replacement
siding pieces, their smallest box is 5 lb.

I think LOWES specializes in sellin small quantities. Just try buying
a 100 machine screws there. I bought a 100 box for the price of one of
their blister packs.

I'd have to agree somewhat. But that's what the avg Joe Homeowner wants.
And the Borg has 10's of thousands of JH that need 4 of these screws and
pretty much know they can go to the Borg and get a blister 6pk and only
have to put away and lose the other two vs 96!

If I need 6 or more, I go ahead and buy a box. After 20-some years of
living compactly in an apartment, that is one of the reasons I bought a
house- so I could start having a storehouse of hardware like when I was
a kid.
