- 10% discount for active service members
Home Depot is among the retailers that offer military discounts since a long time. They offer 10% off every day of the week to all military members who provide military ID. This discount applies also to reservists, retired military members and veterans with valid ID.
There may be certain exceptions to the discount if, for example, an item is already discounted or exclusions in case of manufacturer limitations.
- Markdown items throughout the store
Home Depot often marks down items and discounts merchandise storewide. These offers are easy to recognize once you learn how they price them. The most important thing to remember is that items printed on a yellow tag are on clearance while white tags are always regular price items.
- Items with price ending in .03 have three weeks before they are discounted again. When you see a price tag ending with three, wait 3 weeks until items drop to a penny and be ready to shop fantastic products now.
- Items with price ending in .06 and .36 have six weeks left until they are reduced again and are at their second clearance, which means Home Depot will be closing these items out soon.
- Rent instead of buying
A tool or piece of equipment that you only need to use once is a waste of money sometimes because some items are heavy on the wallet. Home Depot has hundreds of products available to rent and their service makes it even easier for people because they rent by the hour, by the day, by the week, and by the month.
Some pieces of equipment require proper storing, otherwise they run the risk of breaking and malfunctioning, which is why renting is a much better idea when you don’t have storage space or storing conditions for them.
- $5 off a $50 purchase
You’ll have to sign up to receive the Home Depot newsletter to get the $5 discount and spend at least $50 to use it. The discount arrives in your inbox in the form of a coupon and you can use it to save on anything.
