Home Depot is cheaper, but in my opinion the similarity is here: SAMS versus Costco - the wares at Costco are higher quality than those at SAMS, same with Home Depot - Lowes has better quality stuff, I think.
I do a lot of comparison shopping between them and don't find very much difference. I tend to see things a bit cheaper (by at the most $1) but when there is a price cut, usually its a deeper cut at Lowes. Example: cabinet knobs, sometimes I will find very nice knobs cut by 50% .... not so at HD. Toilets, a bit better priced at HD. Faucets, about the same. Light fixtures, better prices and HD. I got incredible deals at HD for close-out kitchen cabinets (pre-stained Hampton series).
Home Depot....but the employees are much nicer at Lowes..... That's why I spent $300.00 dollars there today.... And they gave me a 10% Veterans discount on that $300.00....but you have to ask for it and have proof....
Home Depot usually has cheaper products and more product choices overall. Think about paint, for example.
This is just based on my experience, and I might be wrong, but the customer service at Lowes is way, way, better then the one at Home Depot. And sometimes if the employee listens to you, he can find/suggest you a better product match/better price than what you saw on an ad, for example.
In comparison, not once Home Depot had better customer service. Obviously I worry about pricing, but good customer service might help you save as well.

It is the TOTAL OPPOSITE for me where I live. For years Lowe's was my store, despite horrible horrible customer service (in 3 different towns no less). They cheated me several times as well, regarding "rebates" I never received after tricking me into buying higher priced items.
Well now, I shop EXCLUSIVELY at Home Depot. Two different stores in my area, and both with GREAT customer service, far more choices and better quality. As I said, in my neck of the woods, it is no contest - Home Depot is the all around better store hands down.
I thought it would be something related to employees having better training somehow, but I am guessing customer service is pretty much a local thing.
