Home Depot has a reputation of being the go-to for contractors and other home improvement type businesses, but did you know they sell home decor now? And Fitness equipment? And K-Cups? Let’s explore the best ways to save at The Home Depot, which could become your next go-to site for just about anything!
The Home Depot App
The Home Depot app doesn’t currently offer coupons or discounts, but it does allow you to track your orders, order items for free in-store pick up, and easily compare their prices while shopping in other stores. They also have a scan feature that allows you to scan a grill for example, and show you similar items found at The Home Depot. It also shows you the price.
The Home Depot Credit Card
They offer four different kinds of store credit cards. One is for consumers, a loan for a project, and two are for contractors.
When you first open your credit card you can save up to $100 back as a statement credit; get a $25 credit for a $25-$999 purchase, or $100 credit for a purchase of $1000 or more. The purchase amount must be made within 30 days of opening your account.
