Last evening I went to Lowe's to pick up a few items. One of them was a 1 1/4" X 1 1/4" X 6' piece of 14 gauge angle that is perforated for hanging my new garage heater. The cost of this piece of steel was $19.97!!!!! That is $3.33 per foot. I know that steel prices have risen, but this it off the charts in my mind. Have the steel prices jumped that much or is Lowe's just gouging the customers. The price for a 10' length of 1/2" black iron pipe was $7.80. A couple of years ago it was about $3.00.
