[38]
if you buy more than one prices dropped
[39]
to as low as 9.99 a reminder i do use
[42]
affiliate links which means i benefit
[43]
monetarily
[44]
if you are kind enough to use one of my
[46]
links now this is not a sponsored video
[48]
home depot is not paying me to say
[49]
anything positive about them this is
[51]
information i've gathered
[52]
as a frequent shopper and interviewing
[54]
fellow shoppers and store managers
[56]
so first things first and that's tied to
[58]
you understanding
[60]
how to read a home depot price tag if
[63]
you've
[63]
ever wondered whether an item that you
[66]
hope to buy at a home depot
[68]
is going to go on sale all you need to
[70]
do
[71]
is look at the price tag that's right
[74]
whether it's a
[75]
a price tag online tied to a specific
[78]
product that you want to purchase just
[80]
look
[81]
at the price when a price ends
[84]
in oh three so four dollars and three
[87]
cents five dollars and three cents
[89]
thirty three dollars and three cents the
[91]
item will be closed out after
[93]
three weeks and 03 in a price tag means
[96]
this
[97]
is one of the best deals you will ever
[100]
get
[101]
some items are color coded so yellow
[103]
tags will mean that the product is at a
[105]
clearance state
[106]
but keep in mind that if you are
[109]
wondering whether you have the lowest
[110]
price it needs to end
[112]
in number three and by the way if you
[114]
stay with me through
[116]
insider savings tip number seven intends
[118]
really good by the way
[119]
i will tell you how to know if you have
[121]
more time to make a purchase through
[123]
reading a price tag
[124]
saving secret number two home depot will
[127]
beat the price of
[128]
any brick and mortar store plus they
[131]
will give you a bonus
[132]
essentially for finding a lower price so
[134]
keep in mind there is something that i'm
[136]
going to tell you that pertains to the
[137]
website but if you find an identical
[139]
item
[139]
at a local competitor store like lowe's
[143]
dixon pro hardware is what i have in my
[145]
neighborhood maybe it's ace hardware and
[147]
yours
[147]
the home depot will not only match its
[149]
price but they will beat it by 10
[152]
now the item must be in stock it has to
[154]
be at both locations and there are
[155]
exclusions tied to
[157]
open box merchandise and a few other
[159]
rebates and offers which
[161]
would obviously lower the price at a
[163]
competitor but assuming
[164]
it's the same product and it's their
[167]
sale pricing or their regular pricing
[169]
home depot will not
[171]
only beat the price they give you a 10
[174]
bonus back which is just awesome and
[176]
very rare to find
[178]
savings secret number three is something
[180]
a lot of people are not aware of and
[182]
it's in the home depot fine print well
[184]
the price match policy might have been
[186]
on your radar for brick and mortar
[187]
stores
[188]
did you know that home depot will also
[191]
match any virtual sale that means if
[193]
something's online you have the benefit
[196]
of presenting that so they will at least
[198]
match the price now you don't get the 10
[199]
bonus but if there is something this
[202]
really is strong for the large-scale
[204]
appliances where
[205]
even five or 10 percent can make a huge
[207]
difference home depot will match the
[208]
price if you've found it somewhere else
[210]
at a lower price so for example best buy
[212]
has some very aggressive appliance
[214]
purchases you find the same appliance at
[216]
best buy
[216]
you present that deal to home depot they
[218]
will match it great to know
[220]
it's also good because home depot has a
[222]
much better delivery service on
[223]
appliances than best buy
[225]
and their inventory system is better
[226]
than best buy in many of my checks
[228]
and having gone through this trying to
[230]
purchase appliances for a new home so
[232]
keep in mind
[232]
an amazon price or a best buy price or
[235]
something else you find online
[236]
can be matched saving secret number four
[241]
for home depot is something to keep in
[242]
mind tied to timing
[244]
home depot is way too
[247]
early on every major holiday and that
[249]
spells huge discounts for you and i just
[251]
want to give you an example right now
[253]
this is eye opening and it's something
[254]
that you should keep in mind it says
[256]
labor day savings
[257]
on the screen right now and i just want
[259]
to show you guys i am recording this
[261]
video
[261]
on thursday august 20th
[265]
so all of the labor day deals that you
[267]
see have actually been on homedepot.com
[270]
or home depot.ca if you're watching in
[272]
canada for more than two weeks
[274]
this what are they thinking there's
[276]
halloween items up right now
[279]
it's august 20th this is ridiculous
[282]
lowe's is not doing this ace hardware
[284]
does not have their sales
[285]
but as a shopper that spells some huge
[288]
incentives too now keep in mind since
[289]
home depot is early
[291]
a lot of the items that are this early
[293]
we're talking like two months early
[295]
are sale items that will eventually be
[296]
on clearance but for all of the other
[299]
products tied to
[300]
fourth of july labor day black friday
[303]
the appliance deals in particular and
[305]
the paint savings which return for each
[307]
of these occasions
[308]
run for more than a month so this 30
[311]
off select top brand appliances will run
[314]
again
[314]
through labor day and then when it comes
[317]
to black friday home depot
[319]
actually launches most of its deals the
[321]
last week of october
[323]
and they keep them running through the
[324]
first week of december as a shopper this
[326]
is me telling you right now that you do
[329]
not need to feel
[330]
any type of retail pressure if you want
[332]
to do your research on a product if you
[334]
want to
[334]
prevent an impulse buyer save up a
[336]
little bit more and examine different
[338]
payment plans for a big purchase
[340]
home depot has such a messed up calendar
[343]
that will work
[344]
to your advantages especially when it
[346]
comes to their marketing programs
[348]
for home depot shopping secret number
[350]
five did you know this store
[352]
offers retroactive pricing a lot of
[354]
people think this exists at retailers
[356]
like amazon it does not if you buy
[358]
something and then amazon
[359]
drops the price on it two weeks later
[361]
good luck with that digital customer
[363]
service
[363]
it's not something frequently offered by
[366]
major retailers and i totally understand
[368]
why but
[368]
obviously i'm a consumer advocate i want
[371]
to be
[372]
saving as much money as i possibly can
[374]
with every purchase and if your timing
[376]
wasn't
[376]
ideal for something you bought and then
[379]
you find out that it's dropped in price
[381]
after the fact this is crucial advice
[385]
home depot offers one month long
[388]
retroactive price protection that means
[391]
if you buy something and it drops to a
[393]
lower price you have one month to bring
[395]
the receipt in
[396]
present it to customer service and seek
[398]
that adjustment that is
[400]
awesome i'm a huge fan of that policy
[401]
and i wish more stores and retailers
[403]
employed that but there you go
[405]
saving secret number five that thumbs up
[407]
was really kind of awkward but anyhow
[409]
saving secret number six if you guys
[412]
remember a couple of weeks ago for what
[414]
not to buy at walmart
[415]
i highlighted some of their dinged and
[417]
broken boxes tied to small appliances
[419]
and i advised you guys that if something
[421]
had happened to the box that could have
[422]
impacted the product
[423]
you were out of luck there was nothing
[425]
you could do you're paying full price
[426]
for that product regardless of how
[428]
smashed up the box was
[429]
home depot has a completely different
[432]
policy
[433]
if you see a damaged good which could be
[436]
a box
[437]
or something like a toilet plumber that
[439]
has a slight ding on the stem that isn't
[441]
going to affect its performance
[442]
you're eligible for an extra 10 off with
[445]
the customer service agent
[447]
all you need to do is go to the customer
[449]
service desk not the checkout line the
[451]
customer service desk make sure the
[452]
actual product
[453]
in the box is not damaged and you can
[456]
enjoy those
[457]
benefits of a damaged box with 10
[460]
back in your pocket and that can really
[463]
add up on
[464]
appliance purchases even some of the
[466]
vanities and things that you might be
[467]
doing a diy project for in your bathroom
[469]
just things to keep in mind with more
[471]
cash back in your pocket where it
[472]
belongs
[473]
shopping secret number seven as we
[476]
addressed in shopping secret number one
[478]
if a product ends in a 0.03 at the end
[480]
of a price tag you know you're getting
[482]
the lowest possible closeout price
[484]
but did you know you can also apply an
[487]
additional coupon on top of that
[489]
many stores have blocks which means that
[491]
you can't actually use a
[493]
coupon or manufacture a coupon code on
[495]
top of something that's in its clearance
[497]
phase
[497]
home depot definitely not an issue you
[500]
can use coupons on clearance
[502]
items if a product ends in 0.03
[505]
score the fact you're getting the lowest
[507]
price and then you can
[509]
apply that right away with an additional
[512]
coupon that will be accepted by customer
[514]
service
[515]
which brings me to insider saving secret
[517]
number eight
[519]
some home depot locations will accept
[522]
competitor coupons now i did not have
[525]
luck with this personally and i've
[526]
shopped different locations trying to
[528]
prove this theory correct
[529]
but through some internal blogs speaking
[531]
to shoppers
[532]
and even a store manager who told me
[534]
they wouldn't cut the break to me but
[536]
they have done it in the past and is up
[537]
to the discretion
[539]
of different stores home depot in some
[541]
cases
[542]
will accept competitor coupons that
[544]
means if you have
[545]
a lowe's coupon an ace hardware coupon
[548]
there is a chance and it's worth
[550]
checking that this will work
[552]
for you now i'm going to ask the awesome
[554]
folks watching because i always learn so
[555]
much from the comments and i hope you
[556]
guys learned from the videos but i
[557]
definitely learned a lot from the
[558]
comments
[559]
if this has worked for you if you've had
[561]
success with this please post a comment
[563]
and share this with someone else that'll
[564]
be a huge
[565]
assistance to the general public and
[567]
also if you have any insider saving
[568]
secrets to impart please
[570]
post that in the comments section that
[571]
comment section is there for you and
[573]
obviously
[574]
i'm i'm here for you regularly so please
[575]
feel free to subscribe because this is
[576]
the type of content that
[577]
that makes sense to you and you like it
[579]
for saving secret number nine at home
[581]
depot and don't worry i also have a
[583]
bonus so technically this is 11 that i
[584]
have totaled my 10
[586]
trick to you but uh saving secret number
[587]
nine is to actually ensure that you've
[589]
got
[589]
more time to make a purchase we
[591]
discussed earlier that if a price tag
[593]
ends in 03
[594]
it's at its lowest price and you
[596]
definitely want to make a move on that
[597]
clearance phase closeout product
[599]
i'm doing a lot of hand motions now you
[601]
can see i'm really getting amped up and
[602]
excited and more awkward
[604]
for saving secret number nine if a price
[606]
tag ends in o6
[608]
it means you actually have time and you
[610]
don't need to feel compelled to make
[611]
that purchase
[612]
06 means in six weeks from the date at
[614]
which you're looking at that price tag
[616]
the item will be reduced at an
[618]
additional markdown date
[619]
why is that key well a lot of us when we
[621]
see an item on sale or clearance
[624]
we assume that we have to make our move
[625]
we feel compelled to make a purchase
[628]
and a lot of the time one that product
[630]
is not at its lower price but two
[633]
we don't really have the money to do so
[635]
so don't
[636]
feel pressured even on black friday if
[638]
you see a price tag that ends in o6
[641]
wait the product will be reduced in six
[644]
weeks after a new markdown date don't
[646]
let stores dictate when you shop
[649]
read their internal pricing system so
[651]
you can assist with your own timeline
[652]
and finance options and all those other
[654]
awesome things
[655]
that was saving secret number nine
[656]
savings secret number 10
[658]
is one of the most unknown and best
[661]
return policies
[663]
for those of us that don't have as green
[665]
of a thumb as we'd like
[666]
and don't worry i've still got that
[668]
bonus secret that i'm going to share
[669]
with you guys but as i mentioned
[670]
the return policy is very generous at
[673]
home depot
[674]
but did you know there's a specific
[676]
policy tied
[677]
to plants that means if you've
[680]
killed a plant pretty much and it's not
[683]
where you want it to be and you
[685]
have your original receipt you can get
[689]
a full replacement for that you can
[692]
return
[693]
perennials shrubs dead trees up to
[696]
one year after purchase the home depot
[699]
return policy clearly states that they
[701]
will do so if your shrub dies on day
[703]
364.
[704]
dig it up bring it in and as long as you
[707]
have your original receipt
[708]
they will get a replacement delivered to
[711]
you
[711]
at no charge assuming that it's still
[713]
available in stock
[714]
no questions asked and again guys it's
[718]
all spelled out in their very fine print
[720]
but you just bring the plant in
[722]
with the original receipt this will not
[724]
work if you do not have an original
[726]
receipt so if you're just trying to dig
[727]
up things around your backyard and bring
[729]
them in and hope to get a refund not
[730]
going to happen
[731]
but they will give you a replacement if
[733]
you've got that supporting evidence and
[734]
that is so worth your while
[736]
it's not a system to take advantage of
[738]
but for a lot of us things just don't go
[739]
as planned
[740]
weather-wise lifewise green thumb wise
[742]
and you've committed to a purchase and
[744]
home depot wants
[745]
you to commit to them as a store with
[746]
that loyalty based on policies like this
[749]
so it's technically a win-win for
[750]
everyone involved and now for your
[753]
bonus secret number 11
[756]
or bonus one depending on how you want
[758]
to count
[759]
if you're not yet doing this you are a
[761]
frequent home depot shopper please go to
[763]
the bottom of their website before you
[764]
make any purchase because there's
[766]
a little section that so people rarely
[768]
click on and that is called
[770]
the rebate center if you actually look
[772]
it's buried you
[774]
really have to go toward the bottom and
[776]
you need to click rebate center
[777]
but rebate center allows you to find
[780]
very quickly the manufacturer rebates
[783]
tied to
[784]
massive product discounts many of these
[787]
rebates are so significant on major
[789]
household purchases that they may sway
[791]
you from one brand to the next
[792]
but they also ensure that you are
[794]
getting the most
[796]
money back after you make a purchase and
[799]
it's not transparent and it's not easy
[801]
to find and
[801]
it's not something that you really want
[804]
to miss out on given how significant
[805]
some of these rebates are
[807]
this is particularly good for trades
[808]
folk if you're doing renovations or
[810]
flipping a home or upgrading your own
[812]
home
[813]
these are things where if you're buying
[814]
a suite of products the more you buy may
[816]
lead to more savings and these rebates
[818]
aren't advertised
[820]
as aggressively as i would hope on your
[821]
typical sale they're not always visible
[823]
in the other areas of the website so
[824]
just check that if you are
[825]
shopping there frequently so thank you
