Here’s Where to Buy Romex at Lower Prices

I picked up some wood boards over the weekend, and… ouch. Lumber prices have been inflated for several months now, and with no relief in sight. Copper has also been way up, driving up the price of wiring products as well.

I searched around, and Zoro seems to be the best place to buy Southwire Romex NM-B wiring right now. They have 2- and 3-conductor wire at what look to be regular prices. These days, “regular prices” can mean a hefty discount compared to home center and electrical supplier pricing.

Surprising, Walmart also has shorter lengths of Romex wire at normalish levels, but they’re only available for in-store pickup and you’re limited to 25′ lengths.

Here’s a snapshot of current pricing:

Romex 14/2 x 25′ Prices

• Home Depot: $23.42
• Lowe’s: $21.48
• Zoro: $10.76

Romex 12/2 x 25′ Prices

• Home Depot: $34.84
• Lowe’s: $31.98
• Zoro: $17.95

Romex 250′ Prices

• 14/2: $104 via Lowe’s
• 14/2: $81.99 via Zoro
• 12/2: $140 via Lowe’s
• 12/2: $134.99 via Zoro

Zoro has 25′ through 250′ lengths, although the 100′ and 250′ sizes all seem to be backordered at the moment. You can buy now to lock in the price, but there are no delivery estimates.

Surprisingly, Lowe’s has 250′ wire for only a little more than via Zoro, but they have it in stock.
