mutata: Mar 1, 2003; Can't post for 43 minutes!

So I'm gearing up to build a loft bed, and the plans call for mainly 2x4s and 2x6s (ripped by 1/2 an inch). I started by scouting out Lowes and Home Depot to see what they have their lumber prices at.

Home Depot's prices are 2x6x120 for $3.49ea and 2x4x104 for $2.69ea
Lowe's prices are 2x6x120 for $5.25ea and 2x4x120 for $3.49ea

Are their prices really that blatantly different or was I just looking at some cheaper wood in Home Depot? The wood at Lowes was Douglas Fir, or something of that nature, I don't remember what I was looking at at Home Depot, but now I'm doubting myself.
