What's the best deal you've gotten at Home Depot or share a secret not covered?
Ripped bags of cement are $1 at Lowes. Not sure if the same applies for Home Depot, but it cant hurt to ask.
at home Depot, I got a huge DeWalt top tool cabinet about $250 I got it for $75 and I got a Milwaukee 12" sliding miter saw new in box for $299
Every Sunday at 6pm and a few other times per week I buy 70% off culled lumber at the home depot

Granted HD manager's deal-making leeway is being more closely scrutinized than a few years back, I have still snatched some great deals just by devising a course -of-action, summoning the manager (get to know them; the, however, they seem to move in and out more now), ask nicely, be prepared to be denied and have a backup plan in mind. To wit, my last purchase was on a $600+tax EGO mower for $250. Probably purchased and returned (examine it) but in VG shape.
The better deal was a whole pallet of deck boards where the top boards had been knocked about which made the whole supply look like it was damaged. It was around $5000 worth of decking and I offered $250 to get the unsightly mess out of there. He pulled out a calculator...click, click, click, and...SOLD. Some boards were 20' and others 16. Better still, I noticed a large refuse container (in addition to their compactor which you cannot access and under a lot of debris were stacks of decking (new) It took me a couple of hours to get it all out but not need it at the time I sold it on Facebook for $1800. This gentleman on this video mentioned the clearance end cap and I check it all the time. Just got a pair of Mechanix gloves for $2. Whatever they are asking I always counter offer. Win some lose some. Saw a pallet of premium grass seed on a trailer. Some of the bags had been breached by a rat family seeking a snack (mice and rats love seed. It is their caviar). Anyway, there were some remnants of the rat's toilet usage but that was undaunting. Unsellable, they would discard it. Offered to take it off their hands and got it for free. BTW, and the material I extract I always leave the area cleaner than how I found it. Same with Lowe's and they typically are more liberal in their discounting. Just got 8 Kitchler LED wall-wash lights for 50% off. The transformer, a nice stainless model was 75% off. Just ask, ask, and ask. Then I got a Delta bench grinder for $55. Good deal. Keep your head on a swivel and be a diplomat. Savings will ensue. Oh, and at Home Depot stores with Rental equipment, I have found a lot of VG used/maintained equipment for less than 50%. Better to buy from more upscale stores as the clientele tends to treat the rentals a bit more delicately and you'll want a store with a competent Rental crew who maintains the equipment. Just got a Classen dethatcher/slit server with a Honda motor in great shape for less than 50% retail. Even had new blades. I usually seek out the manager and compliment the rental staff. They appreciate it. Occasionally, I'll even get their names and write a complimentary letter to corporate.
Hey Matt: Here is #11 RETURNED PAINT in the back area of the paint section. People return paint colors they don't want because they didn't match their projects in various amounts. At least 50% off if not more and sometimes negotiable. I buy weird paint colors for Special Ed projects for my students and this is by far the cheapest option and stretches' the budget. I check every time I go there because the inventory constantly changes. Worth a look.
Yup got a gallon of a perfect green for my cabinets for 3$
I was a manger for 6 years and I could tell you a few gems. For instance ever associate has up to $50 a day they can discount and supervisors have $150 ASM up to $500 store manger over $500 a DAY. If what you want is not in stock they should offer you the next best thing for the same price
Great list! A couple other tips I’ve learned about to add to your list:
- most participating HD stores give away a Kid’s Workshop Kit for free on first Saturday of every month (pieces of wood, some hardware, small hand tools, etc). Great for engaging the next generation of craftsmen!
- teachers and government employees can register for HD exempt purchases program and shop tax-free!
- plants have a 1 year warranty. If they die on you within a year you can uproot it and (with receipt) return it and get reimbursed.
- at participating HD stores you can rent Penske moving trucks for 10% off online, and can also apply military discount on top of that and even an additional 12% if you’re a AAA member.
- if your tools need repair and they’re still under manufacturer’s warranty, take it to HD and they’ll repair it for free! You pay a $30 diagnostics fee but they will reimburse it if the repair is covered by the warranty. If it’s not covered the $30 will be applied to the price of repair if you choose to go through with them.
- if you have some old leftover paint that has since separated or needs re-tinting, as long as you bought it at Home Depot you can take it in and they’ll shake-mix it and re-tint it again for free.
The plants depend on if it is a perennial. Those get the year return policy. Everything else is 90 days
So about the paint, we will not re-tint paint after the original time it was purchased as adding more tint will change the color, but we will always re shake it if it's separated!
Thank you for telling your subscribers to be nice. Many customers today are truly awful people.
I agree. I saw it just a couple days ago in a store.
Great tips but after working in retail management for 10 years I can tell you a lot of people try to take advantage and manipulate to get discounts. After working with the public all my life I have realized people can be absolutely horrible and hateful not everyone just a generalization. I worked 10 years in retail management and another 10 in restaurant management and it will make you despise the public as a whole.
@@briansullivan6164 no because of people that’s say ignorant things like you just did.
I guess that's why he said "be nice"..I got a new toilet due to a damaged box $50 off, the manager came and opened it up took it out, not a scratch....$50 off $300 for being nice and asking
Its why I began studying Infectious Disease development and distribution as new career path.
@@TheReckoningBeginsToday yep I changed career’s myself. I fish for a living now. I do have to deal with a few people but no where near on the magnitude as before, and 99% of my customers are good people every now and then I get that 1 asshole but even then most of the time it’s because alcohol is involved.
@@shawnlittle7527 then there would be nobody left working in retail!
Love the shirt. That in between for me was stripping of that label I was given as a kid "youre a sinner" and when i realized exactly what sin was and how I would be found guilty caused me to understand the personal meaning of what happened on that cross. Forgiven is not longer a collective term rather very personal to me. My feeling of guilt was changed to gratitude.
Helpful tip here from a former home depot employee!
I worked there until 3 years ago, and unless it has changed, company policy is that any employee is allowed to approve a discount of up to $50 without asking manager. So, if there is a $500 generator, and you want 10% off for a damaged box, you can ask anyone from a floor associate to a cashier to the cart collectors in the parking lot.
They can approve or deny it themselves. This won't get you a lower price necessarily, but it can make asking for a discount faster and easier, since you don't need to go looking for a manager.
At the store I worked at we were forbidden to do this. We had to get in touch with management or head cashier to let them know what the customers wanted a discount on
It is still company policy but different stores pick and choose what to follow.
Still a policy and I've used it to give discounts.
My wife and I were getting a 2x10 for a project we had and the only board we found that was straight and flat had a "chunk" missing on one end,we didn't mind seeing as that was going to be trimmed off for what we needed it for and just kind of joked about it to the cashier,she pulled out a book at the register and took 10% off the board which we thought was awesome and thanked her.
---- at the current price of 2x10s, that was probably enough saved to buy both of you a good meal
Hey Matt, just a quick note...first thanks for all you do in keeping us updated on all the latest projects and info coming out or your shop. Love tip #10 as I am a retired (26 years in the Army) service member....the Orange box store won't give you a Military Discount on any lumber however, the Blue box store WILL...so I always go BLUE when I need construction lumber!
Mainly the bulk price makes it similar to military discount.
#11. If they offer a bulk price (single units are X price, but if you buy 5 or more, the price is Y). Last year I did a large chain-link fence project and I needed 350 ft. of fence. They're sold in 50 ft rolls, but no store in the entire state of AZ had 7 rolls of material. I had to purchase the 7 rolls from 4 different stores. I explained my situation at each store, and each store gave me the bulk pricing. It's all in how you ask. Be nice.
I was hoping but not expecting this deal would be on the list. First of all, I worked for HD for 10 years, in three different states, and left 4 years ago, but this was true at every HD I worked at without fail. Without asking anyone, like a supervisor, or manager, any and all employees are allowed to give a discount of up to $50 every day of the week, for almost any reason. Like the guy in the video said Be nice, and professional ( does not count already discounted items) I
First, Love the shirt! I want one! Second, another hidden HD tip if you don't mind getting something delivered: Make sure if you have an account you are not logged in. Play around with changing the "store location", like a different state. I have found items that were $15 cheaper by saying I'm shopping at a store in a different state, pick delivery, then checkout. NOTE: do NOT leave the checkout process and go back to the product or your cart after you give it your shipping address. It will usually swich pricing to match your local store at that point. (and yes, the delivery fee was the same as if you had local store set on the site)
Yep - stumbled onto that a few weeks ago. Needed a bunch of hinges for a project and had to have them delivered anyway so ordered from a different store and got them cheaper. Doesn't make sense, but oh well.
Love your videos! Thank you! Every year I find something new I want to try to learn and this year is woodworking! Specifically cutting boards since I love to cook. Trying to save up for a few tools to get started.
I work at Home Depot and our store actually has multiple clearance endcaps. One in hardware/tools, one in electrical, one in garden. Sometimes there's one for plumbing as well.
Yes you do need that Dewalt air compressor! I got the big one many years ago and ran multiple framing guns at the same time with it. Now that make smalls, crafts and art for a living that same air compressor runs my paint guns, brad nailers and pressure casting pots flawlessly.
Thanks for creating another informative and entertaining video. I ran into an issue trying to use Tip #4-Price guarantee. I knew it existed, but never used it until I tried to purchase a refrigerator. I prefer to shop at HD, but Lowes had the refrigerator I wanted for on sale for $400 off. I showed the department manager the Lowes ad on my phone. She said I would have to get a written quote from Lowes, return to HD and then I could get the discount. Of course I said that if I have to drive to Lowes, I'll just buy it there. The manager eventually had to enlist the store manager and we got 10% off the entire order which included a Nest t-stat , some pendant lights and some plumbing hardware. Bottom line, we ended up with more than $400 discount, but it took some effort and persistence to get there. Thanks.
That's awesome!
I never felt so blessed to have 2 stores 15 minutes away, plus a Lowe's less than 3. I'm a Milwaukee guy, so HD is my main.
Besides usually 3 or 4 back endcaps of reduced items, check the tools section. At the end of the first break in the aisle is often a reduced shelf. I found 3 Dewalt drill bits sets there for $6 each.
On the specials and offers page, the special buys link leads to a sortable list of items. I have found several tools normally sold as a bare tool for the same price with a battery thrown in. also, the pro special buy of the week is a batch of stuff that comes out every Sunday.
If you're signed up for email, you'll get 10% off coupons all the time.
Not a pro tip or anything, but you don't need to a "prime member" to get a ton of stuff shipped to home for free.
Besides checking the cull cart, I also check the plywood section. If I see a cabinet grade sheet of plywood with scratches on the good face or dented edges, I’ll ask the manager on site, if he’d sell it at a discounted price, depending on manager, I’ll get 25-75% off price.
Went to Home Depot in January to look at table saws. The ridgid R4514 had 3 different tags on it with multiple expiration dates between the 3. Prices were $319, $349 and $549. They scanned it and it said $549. Manager said they’d honor the $319 but I could only buy one. Got a new saw that day!
Nice deal!
Why would you ever buy a site table saw these days without a rack and pinion? Obsolete. Also underpowered. Bad deal regardless of price. Dewalt is a better saw for $299.
@@Tool_Addicted_Carpenter god you’re/people are such dbag. If you care about having a rack on your saw great doesn’t sound like Cale does. As long as the saw cuts true there’s nothing wrong with that saw.
Nice! Many places will do that and I think in some countries with strong consumer laws (Like brazil) they are actually obliged to honor the lower tag
@@Tool_Addicted_Carpenter DeWalt is caca.
Great video! I watched this last night and ended up going to Home Depot today and was able to get the cashier to knock off 30% on my purchase since the box was slightly damaged. Saved me $27 bucks!!
Good tips! The deal of the day and the pro deal of the week are a great way to save, I tell everyone I know about them! My kids get annoyed because their is never a quick Home Depot run because we have to go through the 4-5 clearance end caps at our store 😂
Sometimes HD has a pallet outside of the pro entrance that is marked FREE.
Great tips. Thank you Matt.👍👍
Thank you Sir !!!!
I had no idea how many different shopping deals they offer. Shopping will never be the same, cause it's going to be cheaper after I take advantage of the tips.👍👍👍
Happy to help
I framed most of a 12x16 cabin using cull lumber. Got lucky, they had a major pressure treated clean out just before I got there. Three bumper dragging loads of wood all twisted and ugly. I bundled them and ratchet strapped them all together and left them in the weather for a month, straightened them all out nicely.
To talk more about associates giving discounts, it is tiered based on the level of the employee. A regular floor associate can adjust the price up to $50 before a manage needs to get involved. They do not have to but they can for any reason they choose.
I have had 10% discounts applied when I have explained my frustration on returning a defective tool model for a working model, etc. All I do is ask for help from an associate.
Bottom level employees can take up 50, middle level employees like assistant managers and key carriers can take off up to either 100 or 500 i can't remember, and store managers can take off up to 1000.
@@chiefexecutivemanager8152 Regular associates $50, Dept Sup. $100, CXM & ASM $500 and SM $1000. After that it goes to DM, but that is typically never done.
Love the channel man. Love the fact that you’re a Chosen fan. Keep it up bro
Thank you for sharing these! Love it!! Also - happy belated birthday (yesterday)!
Thank you. Hope you are feeling better!
Thank you so much brother. Went to your website and checked out the deals. Saw the dewalt bench top planer for $569 and was finally able to pull the trigger on it! 😊
Glad I could help
I literally just found your channel two days and subscribed. I watched this video today and stopped by my local Home Depot. I went straight to the tools (which is typical for me) and low n’ behold they had a 12” Rigid Miter Saw marked to a $165!!! A $330 saving!!! You found a lifelong fan!! Haha.
I live in Canada and one other tip that I’ve used a lot is that if you buy an item that “comes with a free battery” but you only needed the item and not the battery, you can actually return the battery for a pro-rated price of both items. For example if you bought a $100 saw and got a $50 battery free, you can return the battery for $50/($100+$50)*$100 = $33, and you keep the saw for $67. If you only wanted the battery but wanted to return the saw, you can keep the battery for $33. Same rules apply if you buy something and get a free bare tool. Cheers!
Need this because Milwaukee batteries are expensive
This is called "The Hack". I've been doing this for years for many tools.
This is one reason why Home Depot blows away Lowe's!
Didn’t know #3! Good to know. Brilliant video idea.
Nice video, Matt! I was surprised that you didn’t mention used tools. Many people live in areas that have Rental Centers that sell off used pro grade tools. You can sometimes get some pretty good deals! From drills and nailers up to aerators, generators and all kinds of others.
You might also find refurbished returns. I worked as a seasonal part timer one summer and we had a guy who would fix the weed eaters that got returned because it 'broke the first I used it ' because people don't understand 2 cycle oil. My store sold them for about half price.
HD sells used tools? None of the ones I've been in do. What isle are they in?
@@bennygerow it might be store to store. One of the garden guys in my store was a small engine machinic so he could generally fix busted lawn equipment. They kept them in the garden section near the registers.
@@bennygerow the HD location has to have a Tool Rental Center. Usually the Tool Rental Center will have a bin full of used tools.
I’m also about an hour and 10 minutes away from any Home Depot. I was just talking to my buddy about this yesterday, but I had no idea about some of these secrets! Thank you 👍🏼👍🏼
Glad they were useful
The folks at HD are nice, and hard working folks; I always want to be courteous to them.
One time a product did not ring up the right price for me. I waited patiently to talk to the supervisor.
When she finally got to me, she's already had a busy day. She explained why my discount did not apply, and I said, OK, Thank you, ma'am.
And then she said, Come back here, what the heck, I'll give you that price anyway.
Sweet.
Excellent information.....LOVE YOUR SHIRT, Brother!
As someone who’s worked at numerous Home Depot’s at various positions ranging from low level associates to ASM, take these “discounts” he’s talking about with a grain of salt. On VERY select items are we allowed to mark down more than 50$, if you go up to a associate and just ask “hey 50$ off please” I guarantee they will say no because each depart is only given a certain amount of mark down money based on their sales and previous markdown patterns. There never is a set “10% off these items for a damaged box”. Also please DON’T give the associate the “oh you guys have done it for me before” or “oh a friend of mine said you guys would”, there is nothing more irritating than that. 😂
@@briansullivan6164 they actually don’t train us at all. They train us on a the policies and few other stuff but you get product knowledge by being thrown in the fire.
Hey Matt, thanks for the info and I like your tool deals page. Also, I LOVE your t-shirt! Love that show. I have the "Against the Current" shirt.
I feel your pain with the location of the closest HD. Mine is 2 hours away! Thanks so much for these tips. They’ll help a lot of us “little guys” just starting out to get up and running without necessarily breaking the bank….. And thank you for your LE service. Helping to uphold the laws of this country, we all owe you a debt of gratitude!
I feel so lucky I have a couple HD's within 5 or 6 miles away.
@@carasmussen27 Oh man, my nearest Home Depot is over a mile away. In fact, it's more like a mile and a quarter. Sucks to be me.
Great info! Thanks!
Valuable information!! Thank you!!
Great tips! Thanks!❤
Love the tips! I've benefited from some of them already. I wanted to let you know of another clearance tip I learned from a manager after chatting with him about my woodworking and growth in skill/plans. I told him how I was dreaming of a planer but didn't want to spend that much - yet. He let me know that there was a DeWalt 12" on clearance and showed me where it was. Many larger tools that are on clearance can be up on the top of an aisle with the stock of regular priced ones, but you can see they have the yellow tag (might need to use your phone's camera on zoom to actually see the details though ;) ).
great tip! Thanks for sharing!
You are so right about that, I always use those methods
Thanks for the tip. I got a discount yesterday for a Ridgid oscillating sand as it was in a damaged box. Saved $25!
Awesome 👏
Great post! Thank you for this Wonderful information…
Thanks for the tips love your channel YEAH a fan of the Chosen...season 3 should hit by Dec can't wait!!
Great video by the way.. want to add something about that 10% military discount ..effective Dec 2021 there are so many items no longer on discount upto $400 dollars.. like wire and any lumber ..they did at one time but Lowe's has done the same thing..now
Keep rocking those Tshirts! Just wanted to add my personal tale of discountedness: our local HD was selling off a load of kayaks (I know, strange right?) and i was like, if I buy two can you give me a discount? and they did. Dropped the price 25% or so? I needed two, got a great deal. Never hurts to ask.
good to know...thanks for sharing!
I like your shirt and your appreciation for our veterans, the tips were good as well, thnx.
Thanks, - been shopping at HD for at least 30 years... but I actually learned at least 3 tips here.
Great tips! Thank you!
Lol. Mover's coupon. I can't believe that is still a thing. Ten years ago, my former boss used to send me to the post office every week to pick up the change of address envelopes which used to have those coupons. He probably saved thousands of dollars. Thanks for the tips Matt
Lowe's has the military discount too, it is a great deal. Great vid Matt!
My local HD must have been clearing out a bunch of cleaning products. I got a gallon of Simple Green for 50 cents, some spray cleaners for under a dollar, and a box of dishwasher detergent for a quarter. GIANT discounts. I've never seen a deal that good again, but I keep trying.
One home depot in my area has a "clearance" endcap that just seems to be normal priced items, including some in the current sale flyer. Just make sure it's actually a deal (probably need to make sure there's a 'was' price) when looking.
Agreed. Sometimes they sneak a shiny yellow tag on it, and when you have a closer look at competitors websites you realize its actually suggested retail value with a clearance sticker. Amazon does this all the time too when they pretend its being marked down from a made up number, but when you check competitors its actually normal priced. The higher number they've got X'ed out is made up.
Thank you very much for this great info.. cool shirt 👍🏼
I got some incredible deals at Home Depot on my Milwaukee tools ! Combo kits with extra batteries !
Rebates right in the store ! Last one no box deals !
Some of the nicest guys in the tool departments too every Home Depot store I’ve gone into!
Thank you so much for this video سپاسگزارم
Like the video and the shirt. I am an avid woodworker and huge fan of The Chosen. Great Job!
Thank you
I went in to Home Depot once to get some spray paint. I happened to see some charcoal grill baskets for my Weber kettle, only one unit in a beat up box but I decided to purchase it anyway. Nothing came up in the register when scanning the grill baskets, so they let me have them for free! That was a good day.
Love your shirt, brother! Thanks for wearing “The Chosen” gifts to help promote the show!😉
Thanks for the tips, and love the shirt (The Chosen)! :)

Great Information, thank you very much!!!!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!
Good 'ol boy talk is my kinda talk. Great tips! WOO!
Dang! Who knew! Cheers for that info mate.
Have to stop by the cull lumber and pick up 70% off to stock inventory for future projects. Sunday afternoon seems to have most inventory. I’m 2 miles away and in weekly.
I enjoy your videos man! You say you wish you got Dewalt compressor, get the variable voltage compressor! Always better to run 220v at your home. Pulls less current, safer on wiring.
I had no idea about the military discount. Thanks for the tip!
Too bad home Depot butchered their military discount. Basically have to go to lowes now. Lowes doesn't have a military discount cap (home depot just went from unlimited to only $400 per year), and now you cant even use your military discount at home depot without scanning a qr code in the app at the register. Don't even get service in the building, or if your phone is dead/not on you, or if you don't have a smart phone. Just show your military/vet id at lowes after you set it up. We all just switched to Lowes because of this.
thanks for the tips! but i think the most important of all (though unrelated to the topic) is your shirt! That says it all! God bless!
So true!
Great shirt good info.
Love your shirt!!
#9 was an awesome tip. Thanks
This is great info. Thx.
Man, I haven’t seen a workshop in forever. I forgot all about those until you mentioned it.
Love the info + The Chosen tee was 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼!
Great tips Matt! Unfortunately, Home Depot no longer gives military discount on wood. Not sure if it's temporary, but as of a couple weeks ago when I bought a bunch of wood, no discount. Love all the tips and thanks for all you do.
It's not temporary. I work for Lowe's it's the same here. It's also not applicable on appliances either
I just bought wood yesterday used my military discount. Maybe just some places?
Wood from home depot? I swore never again after they charged me 20.00 a foot for A FOOT of walnut then the "specialist" ran a dull in store saw to cut off the 1 ft and caused massive tear out.
The military mainly doesn’t apply to items that are either commodity goods or items that they literally lose money (selling at less than it cost them to purchase). Appliances don’t count unless they are items that are stocked at the store, so only your mini fridges and such.
Most items don't even qualify for military discount anymore. I'm constantly disappointed when spending alot there thinking I'm going to get a discount on a huge receipt and only get 5% of the soda I bought with all my other stuff
Clearance items could be in a couple spots per store the two that I go to have 3 of them. An end cap by appliances one in the lighting/ electrical and another by fashion bath
My Home Depot's cull lumber is in the back of the store. They spray paint it and take 70% off. I sometimes find BETTER lumber here than in the normal piles. However, if a piece has been cut, that may be the reason you are getting 70% off. Check the labels for the size.
My Lowes' cull lumber is stacked outside in bundles. For example, I have purchased a bundle of 12 treated 2x4s, 12 foot long for $50. Some were warped. But for me, they were workable for my project.
Hey buddy, one of your better videos, and yes... while I learned a couple new tricks I'd not know about HD, I'll apply them. I always wear my "Vietnam Veteran" hat when I shop at HD and they honor it without question. Lowes also honors vets, but of the two, I prefer Home Depot. Stay Safe........... Carl, Washoe Co.

Home depot built a casket for my yellow lab at no charge, I love them
Good info. I prefer Lowe's but I also go to Home Depot frequently. My local Home Depot in Little Rock gives 70% off of the cull lumber. I buy the culls anytime they have something I will use especially plywood even if I don't have a need for it at the moment.
I went to lows the other day and could not find U blots. I asked an employee where they were and they told me “they don’t make them anymore” I explained what it was and they told me they don’t make them anymore. I was perplexed. Went to ace and got it. Lol.
Nice shirt! Thanks for supporting The Chosen.
Good tips... & nice #TheChosen shirt ;)
I love the shirt, ALWAYS happy to see another brother in Christ!
Really good information - and really great T-shirt!
When buying sheet goods it's always a good idea to snap a picture of the price tag on the bay location. Most dimensional lumber has a tag stapled to the end but sheet goods don't always have an appropriate barcode on them. And depending on how knowledgeable (or motivated) your cashier is they must just pick something in the system that looks like your item. But if you can provide the appropriate tag with barcode, sku # and price you'll save yourself and them a headache.
Always be nice to everyone. Sometimes they're having a bad day and you might make their day by being kind. Or they may just be a jerk. You being a jerk won't help any. People can be incredibly selfish and pigheaded. Don't be that guy.
On some sheet goods you can also point out the colored stripes on the end. Like you said, it depends on the cashiers knowledge, but those stripes are in their online cashier book for most sheet goods.
I’ve been told by a cashier to walk all the way back and get another one with a barcode on it. I’m sure you can guess what I did.
Thanks for the one great deal you didn't say, but the T-shirt did. Oh, thanks for the things you did say about Home-Depot.
A few good tips for those who don't shop HD on the regular. The rebates are simply information regarding what you should claim on your tax return, so don't confuse them with a discount on the total price.
LOVE it !
Great shirt brother. Will try out some of the tips. Thanks
Good tips, didn’t know if the price goes down in 30 days you could get the difference
Love your chosen t shirt ! Way to witness!
I went to buy a Ryobi work light that's powered by one of their 18V batteries but it wasn't in stock. I had an employee help me look for it and after all the running around he did and couldn't find it he said he could give me the same price for a Milwaukee light that I was eyeing. So I got the Milwaukee light at a lower price and I'm very happy with it.
Great video! I'm new at this home ownership thing and have been hitting The Home Depot a lot.
Question about damaged boxes...
I order a lot of stuff from The Home Depot online. Some of the boxes arrive damaged. I haven't encountered -- yet -- a product itself having a problem coming from one of those damaged boxes.
BUT - do you think there is some way I could get the damage box discount for things that are shipped to my home?
AND - should I be reporting when these boxes arrive damaged (and if yes, then how do I do that?)
(Told you I was new to this!)
I think I have at least four Home Depots within ten miles of my house. I cannot imagine having to drive 90 miles each way. especially since I usually get home after a trip there only to realize that I forgot something! Great tips, BTW!!!
I have 8 I can get to in less than 30 minutes including 4 within 10 minutes or less. Also 7 Lowes within 30 minutes, 2 less than 5 minutes. Pretty much the only good thing about living in the city lol
