SECRET World Of Savings At Home Depot

One of the toughest stores for discounts!

Home Depot Store

Home Depot has to be one of the toughest stores to find a discount.  Over the weekend, we were working on a home repair project.  Prior to heading to the land of the orange apron, I googled for a coupon with no luck.  As I was standing in line, the customers in line ahead of me were raking in the cash with discounts.  What?  How are they doing this.  I want to know the secret handshake too!

  • Military Discount – show your DoD Common Access Card for a 10% discount
  • Lowe’s Credit Card Match –  Be the holder of a Home Depot credit card (except the MasterCard), and ask for the Lowe’s Match for 5% off
  • Menards runs its 11% off sale a couple of times a year, just ask, and Home Depot will deduct 11% from your purchase.
  • Low Price Guarantee – As Home Depot says, “If any competitor tries, we’ll beat their price by 10%. Guaranteed.*”  Be sure to read the fine print.
  • If you can plan ahead, purchase discounted gift cards.
    • My favorite outlet is Raise.com as they are generally 11% off.  Raise runs frequent promotions where they are discounted by an additional 5%

From speaking with the guy ahead of me in line, he regularly stacks the discounted gift cards that he purchases with the Military Discount for real money savings.

Have you unlocked the secret savings at Home Depot?
