This Makes no Sense | Electrical Wiring

Where should you really buy electrical wire? Big box hardware store or Costco? I compared a 50 meter roll of 14/2 electrical wire at a home improvement store for $118 versus a 150 meter roll at Costco for $164 - and the price difference per meter is not even close. If you’re wiring a basement, garage, or renovation project, material costs add up fast. Buying larger quantities can sometimes save a lot of money, but only if you actually need that much wire for your job. This is a good reminder to always check price per length, not just the sticker price on the shelf. Would you buy the bigger roll to save per meter, or stick with the smaller one for convenience? 👇 Follow for more renovation tips, tool breakdowns, and real world contractor math that can save you money on your next project.
