Channel: The Deal Guy
[0]
i have 10 more shopping secrets home
[2]
depot does not want you to know
[4]
welcome back to the channel i'm the
[6]
youtube deal guy matt granted i'm going
[7]
to bring you inside my local home depot
[9]
and expose
[10]
some company secrets and i want to thank
[12]
all of the store associates and
[13]
supervisors
[14]
who provided unsolicited feedback on my
[16]
last video basically saying that
[17]
annoying guy with the shirt and tie on
[19]
youtube
[20]
actually did his homework and didn't
[21]
expect the information to
[23]
benefit so many people hopefully that
[24]
will be the case today if you like this
[26]
content
[27]
please give this video a thumbs up store
[28]
shopping secret number
[30]
one know the home depot store
[33]
hierarchy and this is very important
[34]
when we get into some of the points
[36]
about how to get lower prices
[37]
on things that you see advertised but i
[39]
mentioned in my prior video that you can
[41]
get lower prices on damaged goods floor
[44]
associates generally have the power to
[46]
lower a price by up to 60 bucks
[48]
but a manager at home depot may have
[50]
additional leeway when it comes to a
[52]
more substantial price adjustment so if
[54]
you're looking around
[54]
inside a home depot store you're in the
[56]
lumber area where they sometimes
[58]
spray paint in purple severely damaged
[61]
pieces of lumber where they may
[63]
offer a price of 70 off you might
[66]
actually be able to do a whole lot
[67]
better if you buy the whole palette
[68]
seek out a manager if necessary it's not
[71]
as though that person
[72]
working the floor doesn't want to help
[73]
you beyond a certain point it's just
[74]
that they can't
[75]
and that brings me to home depot
[77]
shopping secret number two which is that
[79]
you can haggle
[80]
on older stock i just mentioned what you
[82]
could do for damaged stock but if you do
[85]
see something on the floor or something
[86]
very lonely on a shelf that's clearly a
[88]
2020 model
[90]
and we're mid-2021 when you watch this
[92]
video and you want to buy it
[93]
managers can and will override prices
[97]
and the home depot customer service
[98]
department is often willing to work with
[100]
you
[101]
depending on your approach and i know i
[103]
don't need to tell you this but if you
[104]
are polite
[105]
and not pushy it is amazing the lengths
[107]
to which home depot employees will go to
[110]
assist you with making a purchase
[112]
i've also found home depot staff very
[114]
receptive to just casually asking them a
[116]
question of
[116]
what type of inventory you guys trying
[118]
to clear out or get rid of
[120]
both the stock that they tell you about
[122]
and the prices that they offer
[124]
will astound you in some cases before i
[126]
tackle the best way to read a home depot
[128]
price tag on 2021 and penny shopping
[131]
shopping secret number three you can get
[134]
your price adjusted after you buy
[136]
online a lot of us are accustomed to
[138]
going to the customer service desk with
[140]
a receipt but if you do complete a
[141]
purchase
[142]
online there is no need to deal with
[144]
going into a store to get a retroactive
[147]
price adjustment of course as part of
[148]
home depot's promise if you make a
[150]
purchase and the price drops
[151]
within a 30 day period after you buy you
[154]
can seek out a retroactive price
[156]
adjustment and if you made your purchase
[158]
online all you need to do is get a chat
[160]
or customer service contact going and
[161]
you are good to go
[162]
home depot shopping secret number four
[165]
know the power
[166]
of a hole and not necessarily a hole in
[168]
your pocket but a hole in a bag of
[170]
gravel
[171]
or concrete and the savings that you can
[173]
yield now i know i've mentioned
[175]
damaged goods but it's a completely
[177]
different ball game if there happens to
[178]
be a hole in a
[179]
crushed bag of stone or gravel and just
[182]
as
[182]
a subscriber commented on the last video
[185]
robert bond mentioned that he got 50
[187]
off damaged bags of crushed stone and
[188]
gravel and if there are these small
[190]
tears
[191]
at 25 cents it's incredible comments
[193]
from other people that scored
[195]
busted bags of concrete for 25 cents
[197]
each
[198]
pamela mentioned that she got two bales
[200]
of straw for three dollars i mean the
[201]
discounts are incredible
[203]
and you can stack your military or
[204]
veteran discount on top of that so a
[206]
reminder
[207]
if you are going to use that discount to
[209]
your advantage definitely use it on the
[211]
damaged goods you
[212]
have to ask for it a lot of the time the
[213]
person ringing you up when your discount
[215]
is so substantial and something else
[217]
might forget
[217]
and now for home depot shopping secret
[219]
number five i am going to address penny
[222]
shopping but first
[223]
it's all about knowing how to read the
[225]
home depot price tag
[226]
and i have explained how to do this at
[228]
other major retailers on this youtube
[229]
channel so again if you like this
[231]
content please
[232]
subscribe and turn your notifications on
[234]
now for the home depot price tags
[236]
if you're wondering whether an item on
[237]
your shopping list will go on sale
[240]
just look at the price tag there's a
[242]
very specific way to read this
[244]
at the home depot when a price ends in
[246]
0.06 or 0.06 it signifies
[249]
that there will be six weeks until the
[251]
next time that product is marked down
[253]
many of you asked on my last video how
[254]
do you know when the clock starts there
[256]
is a date
[257]
on the price tag from when it's marked
[258]
down so take a very close look at both
[260]
sides of the price tag
[262]
if a price tag ends in 03 the product to
[264]
which it is attached will be closed out
[266]
after three weeks
[268]
meaning this is the best deal you're
[269]
going to get a lot of people ask when
[271]
are items marked down
[272]
at most home depots i find that's done
[274]
on a monday morning although that will
[276]
vary by location so more importantly if
[277]
you saw something advertised for a
[279]
dollar
[279]
and three cents as an example it means
[281]
in three weeks the item will go to its
[283]
final phase which is
[284]
one penny in the home depot inventory
[287]
system
[288]
now if you've made it this far into the
[289]
video and i appreciate you guys watching
[290]
to this point you might be thinking well
[292]
why would an item go to a penny what
[293]
does this mean why would home depot do
[294]
that
[295]
this penny price is merely a
[296]
notification to the store associates at
[298]
home depot
[299]
that they need to get that item off the
[301]
store shelves it's either being
[303]
discontinued it needs to be dumped or
[305]
donated or moved to
[306]
a completely different inventory at some
[308]
bargain clearing basement that has
[309]
nothing to do with home depot
[311]
and a lot of the time these items just
[312]
end up in dumpsters so if you are
[314]
someone and you are frequenting your
[315]
home depots and you do see the
[317]
price of 03 and you know that there's
[319]
three weeks until you can make your move
[321]
and it generally happens on a monday
[323]
the reason i'm telling you this is there
[325]
is a chance you can get quite a few
[326]
items at a penny
[327]
a lot of the time the store associates
[329]
don't get to every single item in the
[331]
store to clear it and if you do see it
[332]
and the dates add up so why not benefit
[335]
or
[335]
resell it on ebay at a much higher price
[337]
the one disadvantage to this whole
[339]
method other than that is time consuming
[341]
is shopping secret number six if you buy
[344]
an item
[345]
for a penny at a home depot and if you
[347]
do need to return it for any reason you
[349]
will get back
[349]
precisely what you paid which is one
[352]
penny not
[353]
the value of the item maybe that's a
[355]
no-brainer but i've actually seen people
[357]
try and return
[358]
items for their face value at home depot
[360]
specifically around the holiday times
[362]
now the big thing for home depot is
[363]
timing a lot of the shopping secrets i
[365]
just divulged tie into a specific
[367]
day or a markdown schedule and for
[369]
shopping secret number seven
[371]
know the power of sundays if you for any
[375]
reason are free on sunday morning this
[377]
is a phenomenal time to go to home depot
[380]
yes it is busier and if you don't have
[381]
many friends like i do it's a great time
[383]
to meet people who wouldn't otherwise be
[385]
afraid of you
[386]
but home depot will usually put damaged
[388]
bags and pallets
[389]
outside the garden department at 50
[392]
percent off on sunday mornings this is a
[394]
regular occurrence
[395]
and yes in my prior video i've also
[397]
mentioned the incredible return policy
[398]
where you have
[399]
up to a year to return specific plants
[401]
that you buy from home depot if they
[403]
don't do well
[403]
but that's not the shopping secret i'm
[405]
mentioning right now it is of course
[406]
that sunday morning
[408]
outside the garden center is sometimes a
[409]
gold mine home depot
[411]
shopping secret number eight if you're
[413]
trying to purchase a piece of hardware
[414]
at a home depot that
[415]
is not available or out of stock there
[417]
is a chance the store will give you the
[419]
next
[419]
best thing available at the same price
[422]
now this isn't going to work for
[424]
automatic door locks or echo products
[426]
that you might find if an echo show 5 is
[428]
unavailable it's not like they'll give
[429]
you an 8. but for things like a faucet
[431]
this person mentioned that they went to
[433]
buy an economy faucet the store was out
[434]
the store associate said the policy was
[436]
to give them the next available one at a
[439]
lower price
[440]
and he saved 40 bucks and got a much
[441]
better faucet that is typical of what
[443]
i've experienced at home depot as well
[446]
of course that varies by store and that
[448]
is subject to someone's approval but
[450]
it is amazing just how rewarded you can
[452]
feel as a shopper at home depot and
[454]
again they're not sponsoring this
[456]
but i did find that in many shopping
[458]
trips in particular around the holidays
[460]
shopping secret number nine if you like
[462]
shopping at home depot there's
[463]
absolutely no point ever setting foot in
[465]
a lows
[466]
to find a lower price and i actually did
[468]
a video of home depot versus lowe's and
[470]
i compared all the policies in the
[471]
stores
[472]
as a prior video on this channel but i
[474]
want to really enforce the price
[475]
matching policy where home depot will
[477]
match
[478]
any price at lowe's and beat it by up to
[480]
10
[481]
as long it is an identical item
[483]
physically available at a lowe's store
[485]
they will match it
[486]
so do your research print out whatever
[488]
it is you need and you do not need to
[490]
shop at a low store for a lower price
[492]
if home depot will always beat it for
[494]
shopping secret number 10 i want to
[496]
address some
[496]
inconsistencies at home depot that's
[498]
infuriating quite a few shoppers
[500]
and then i'm gonna handle couponing at
[502]
home depot as part of the bonus that
[503]
i've attached to this video
[505]
if you have been told that home depot
[507]
will price match you can read their
[509]
price match policy all you want it's not
[511]
clear how they handle
[513]
best buy and amazon and a lot of it is
[515]
subject to manager's approval
[517]
i want to draw attention to jeannie's
[519]
comment she mentioned that she works at
[520]
home depot
[521]
and her buffalo new york area store will
[524]
not price match against
[525]
amazon for anything on home depot but
[527]
then right under that store employee
[529]
comment
[529]
a shopper mentioned that in buffalo they
[531]
do price match and while they had a bit
[532]
of fuss when they tried to price match
[534]
against amazon and north buffalo they
[536]
did have success
[537]
now to clear up this confusion and based
[539]
on the people that i have spoken to and
[541]
of course this is subject to managers
[542]
approval and varies by location
[545]
if something is in stock on amazon.com
[548]
and it is in fact
[549]
shipped and sold and fulfilled by amazon
[552]
not a third-party reseller
[553]
not a lightning deal not some crazy
[555]
special but regular pricing on amazon i
[558]
have had success
[559]
with home depot price matching amazon
[562]
not beating it by an additional 10
[564]
but at least matching it so you can pick
[566]
it up physically at your store
[567]
and not order it and not wait for it if
[569]
you are not someone that frequently
[570]
shops on amazon
[572]
and now for the bonus shopping secrets
[573]
at home depot that involve more
[575]
incentives and couponing
[576]
if you're not yet aware well there are
[578]
digital workshops that you can
[579]
experience from homedepot.com
[581]
you can find in-store workshops at home
[584]
depot some great things for
[585]
kids and workshops if you complete any
[588]
of these workshops at most participating
[590]
locations
[590]
you'll often be rewarded with coupons of
[593]
up to 15
[594]
just for doing the free workshop so
[596]
that's important to note i should also
[597]
mention as part of this bonus that home
[599]
depot
[600]
also accepts manufacturers coupons so if
[603]
you're going to an aisle to for example
[604]
buy your cleaning supplies
[606]
well a dollar tree might have some
[607]
smaller sizes of cleaning supplies where
[609]
you could use
[610]
a manufacturer's coupon home depot sells
[613]
the giant
[614]
sizes and you'll not only get savings on
[616]
just how big that bulk purchases but
[618]
also be able to apply the manufacturer's
[620]
coupon and for my final bonus shopping
[622]
secret if you guys are not aware
[624]
lowe's offers a coupon book that
[626]
includes a 10 coupon for anyone moving
[629]
while home depot doesn't offer such a
[631]
thing here's a quick trick if you take
[632]
the 10
[633]
moving coupon that you'd be given by
[635]
lowes which looks a little bit like what
[636]
i have on my screen
[637]
and you bring that into a home depot
[639]
they will match that coupon you can load
[641]
up stock up
[642]
and you can essentially transform a
[644]
great moving incentive coupon from
[645]
lowe's into
[646]
cash at home depot so however you use
[649]
that i just thought that was a good
[650]
thing to mention thank you
[651]
so much for making it to this point in
[653]
