10 SHOPPING SECRETS Home Depot Doesn't Want You to Know! 

Pp

Awesome video, Im looking to buy a tv would you make a TV deal video 😬😬 Ps: I follow you since iPhone 6 video omg 😱😱

You said its "Aug 20" It's actually Sept 24th and this video just hit RU-vid today! Wth??

@@jcrefasi1 Yes I filmed it a few weeks back, but just got around to editing it last night. I hope thats okay!

@@thedealguyNot a problem. Just thought I was losing it and laughed out loud when you made the comment about them "decorating for Halloween already" . I had to make sure I was watching yr current video.

Hey, Jennifer thanks for the inforamtion. do you know how to get the 15% mover coupon on HD?

Thank you Jennifer! Good to Know for those short on funds, but still needing to make repairs

Thanks for the comment and the insight!!

@@TH-vc5sl you could try to ask but sometimes they may not do it because the market in different provinces is priced differently...a lawnmower that sells for 100 in long island may sell for 80 elsewhere because the demand and marketing for it is higher. Again they may do it or offer an alternative which sometimes may end up benefiting you. Remember their motto is to not let you leave empty handed.

Thanx J.R youre a gem! Im in NY & shop many locations & wonder if I ever been to your store?

@@kaceetrigurlzwebscom7761 I work out of the Hamilton Ave store in park slope. You are more than welcome to stop in. I'm there in the am hour's

@@JeanP Ohhh Brooklyn! :) Im a Brooklyn gal Ironically I havent been to that store Well next time Im in that area Ill pop in, lol, I always need something specially now with the info I learned lol! A huntin I will ... errr I mean shoppin Cya then! :)

Nope!

What do you do there

How come home depot wont match their own online price? I find items online at home depot website for cheaper than in store, then i go in and try to price match your own website but they say no online price match. You have to buy online

@@Cisco_on_it they do the online specials to empty wear houses it’s really frustrating but if you are a pro member you can usually get your rep to change the price

Price tag .03 end is the best deal Beat price with bonus Beat by 10% Home depot will match virtual price Ie best buy Early on holidays (Lowes online orders..save buying appliances where sales tax is the lowest...) Credit card might give rebate

Also a home depot employee and we have always been told we will not match amazon or walmart

So very true. I also work for THD. I don't give discounts for a torn box with no product damage.

I also just got to the competitor coupon part. I worked in 3 stores as an ASM, and 2 of the 3 accepted competitor coupons. It really is up to the store manager or sometimes the assistant manager working at the time. I always accepted them because that creates a repeat happy customer!

When it goes to a penny in the system, will it ring up as a penny if I try to buy it?

@@thacker_6420 Yes it will but Department Heads get a report of penny skus to take off the shelf right before they drop to a penny. If they miss something, then it will ring up as a penny. Cashier's are told to not sell it and say it's not for sale. If you ask manager, depending the person, they may just say whatever or will say it's not for sale. Worst part, the penny skus (sometimes) get thrown down the dumpster.

Met pulls it off the shelf when it reaches 1 cent also I've tried buying things at 1 cent and was denied due to store manager telling me it could not be sold at 1 cent. I was told this at 7 different stores on different products.

When do you start counting 3 weeks off or 6 weeks off when is that start date

Menard’s is closer to my house, but I go to Home Depot partially because of this. Always get good advice and guidance on what I need. It has saved me a lot of time and money.

That's plain stupid. I worked at Home Depot forc18½ years. The same policy applies to all customers, even the rude ones. Treating everyone fairly can turn around around a rude customer and make them not only a customer for life but a nice customer as well.

Lol I am a head cashier and I had no idea about some of these price things mainly the beginning one. 03 ending.

Same here and yes it’s all true I’m surprised he knows it all lmao

Online only prices are not match in store. Competitors coupon only if is the original copy with a valid date. Not expired, not copies. No. There is not 10% off for a broken box is the item inside is in perfect condition. Is the costumer start complaining about it call a manager and cry about it then maybe they will get a discount.

And not all coupons can be use with sale items. Clearance most of the time but not with sale items.

@@LuchyDosSantos absolutely correct. No longer beat by 10% online price match either.

Yea right oops my elbow slipped into a now discounted box so clumbsy

@Brandon F I don't recommend damaging property that doesn't belong to you, stores have plenty of security cameras that will see you, and it's just scummy and immoral. Please don't do that.

@@BT-dl8kq I'm always stopping in the Lowes near me, recently got bags of concrete, mulch, lime, gypsum, ironite, and weed killer. All marked down 50% because the bags are damaged. I specifically look for damaged stuff and hardly ever buy full price for lawnncare.

Great tip!

You are 100% incorrect. I’ve been doing price changes at Home Depot for 7 years and have worked at Home Depot for 11 years total

That’s just sloppy merchandising.

@@bearclayton1600 If I am so incorrect, then why is it that a manager is the one who gave me this information?

That is because the idiot employees don't know NOT to take it out of the overhead and leave it alone, it's for future project in a future bay. It's not supposed to be touched and put on shelf until after the vendor wants it there.

Love it!!

Nice!!

That's why its considered used online because ofv box condition it lists used likenew minor dings

Thank you for the information!

Incorrect

Not correct. Appliances are changed out as manufacturer’s models exit and new models take their place. It happens throughout the year, no specific time.

Yeah but if they are out of stock, they won't upgrade the item and sell it to you at the lower price. They'd rather lose the sale.

after 21 years of getting regular raises if you don't have any savings that's your own fault unless you have some serious issues that you don't mention here.

Can you get your 401k before you retire?

So basically you are broke and have no money so you think quitting your job is the best option??

They available on the first Saturday of the month.

If she loved plants, she wouldn’t be killing them...hahaha.

It should be on a yellow price tag. There aren't a lot of items that this will happen to. The item goes on clearance and initially is discounted and yellow tagged. The item will continue to go down in price and will often sell out before it makes it to a price ending with 3¢. Just a word of caution. After the item reaches its final sales price ending with 3¢ the next time it goes down it will drop to 1¢. And items left in stock at that time are removed from sale and often trashed. Now if you bought one of these items previously and try to return it without a receipt guess what you'll receive for credit... If you said 1¢ you are correct. If you have your receipt or they can look up your receipt with the credit card you used, then you will get what you paid for it.

@@njsongwriter so when it ends with 3 when will it become a penny?

As an employee @ thd, when customers come to me trying to buy penny items I just give it to them...

That’s amazing!!

Happy Dance😁

yea amazing, im still waiting onrebate from 1999

Ditto here

You got lucky. They are supposed to cut the barcode off the can for oops paint.

Awesome… I was looking up to see if anyone bought doors from Home Depot.. so glad saw this video

Hi. Can someone advise where to find coupons for Lowes or Home Depot? I’m seeing them mentioned but have no idea where to look. Thank you.

Debbie Gagnon I get Home Depot coupons mailed to me all the time, they have been coming in like crazy lately, I have probably had three different mailers in the last four months with up to 20% off but you can always go to the post office and get a change of address packet and it’s typically loaded with coupons

will never do flooring from hd better to go to stores dealing in only floors, nothing els, hd will never have ur bak

@@debbiegagnon1738 one time I bought a coupon from Ebay.

However, Home Depot will not honor counterfeit coupons. (Just so you know.)

I'm sorry to hear that and must not be easy to deal with!! I've been a carpenter for over 36 years now.. Heck I'm not sure now may be 37, started in the spring of 83 or 84.. I think it was 84, so yea over 36 years... Anyway point being I've loved most of it by far and love the math involved and the hands on!! I'm not sure what I would do if I couldn't work anymore... I really am sorry to hear that about you and I hope you are doing well!!! God bless!!

@@reddawgrup1779 i started in 84 also that's funny

Yeah, any employee at Home Depot can authorize a discount without management approval. They are limited as to how much, but, yeah in many cases, if you're good to them, they'll be good to you.

Being nice and friendly gets you a long way

@@2ndhorseman I was in Home Depot yesterday and asked 6 different employees for help. None of them had time for me. They would point and say, "it might be over there", or, "I don't think we have that in the store". I told them, your website says you do, to which I would get the next blow off excuse like, this is not my department. I finally asked one lady, is there ANYONE that works here who has 15 seconds to properly answer my question. She left to get someone else. After waiting for some time, she returns with another guy. He tried to direct me to the same wrong location as the first person I asked. It wasn't just the wrong location, it was a totally different item. In this whole process, I showed them pictures, multiple times, from their website of the item I needed, and not one employee would take the time to check their inventory or identify the location. They just kept guessing, "you might find it over there". After an hour of their bullshit, I gave up and left. I shouldn't have to be extra sweet to get acceptable customer service. If I ask you where to find an item, either show me where it is, or check your inventory to see if you have it. Get someone else to lick your ass, because I'm not doing it. It's amazing how often the staff at both Lowe's and Home Depot, have extremely inferior knowledge about products, or their quality or usage. On the up side, the gentleman at Home Depot who helped me with my water heater purchase, had superior knowledge about all of the products, and I learned a lot from him. He was a true professional.

Soooooo where's the part where you scooped them up, put them in a headlock, put a sawed off shotgun to their head, and threatened their 🐕 to get that actual final "Final" deal 😳😳😳😳😳😳 The Deoptlizer

that purchase was final sale no returns ..right ..?

Where I can buy the coupons?

The Black Friday specials are generally excluded from all post price matching programs. This is to prevent people from buying up their most wanted items before Black Friday, only to price match and beat everyone to it.

Flooring Supervisor here, I clicked this video thinking it would be some B.S. but was surprised 😂

Same here, D42 DS. This guy spends more time in Home Depot than I do lol!

Kenneth Coggin lol...

Kenneth Coggin d21/22/30 here

@@TroubledOnePaydirt Good department, don't tell anyone, but one of my favs. Shhhh!

Also houseplants, keep your receipt. I am very good with plants but sometimes they die for no reason but maybe the transition of coming from a greenhouse to my house. I'll take my money back all day. Houseplants are only guaranteed for six months, same goes for Lows.

Yes. I have found yellow tags to be misleading sometimes on the end of the aisle in the clearance. Sometimes only discounted $.50 or less on an item that cost $50. Like that’s not clearance! LOL

When an item initially goes on clearance it isn't discounted, it's simply yellow tagged to let the customer know that it's being clearances out. If it doesn't sell out at the regular price it will be reduced.

Most Home Depot stores have that. It can be anything from damaged lumber to pieces that are very small "by the foot" lumber. Maybe a piece that is supposed to be 6' and the last foot has a crack, but you only need a 4 or 5 ft piece.

@@2ndhorseman good info.

Referred to as “cull lumber”. Purchase through Pro Desk.

Not necessarily your fault. Sometimes plants were improperly prepared or suffered damage along the way and will die no matter whose thumbs care for it! In general, the odds of this go up with the size and price of the plant. I agree this is true of bedding plants, etc and for those you should probably eat the loss yourself. But if you buy shrubs or trees, the price is MUCH higher and the odds of receiving a plane that is simply not viable go up MUCH higher. Also, with bigger plants, the time frame for that to be evident is longer and there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to return that plant. 💕

Once I bought a bunch of tomato plants and they were sick and never gave any tomatoes. Some research later I realized if I would have bought a $3 dollar bag of miracle gro soil I could have taken the plants back and have them refunded because they guarantee a harvest.

CassieAfricanQueen hey, they don’t know that and if they’re willing to give you a new one why not?

Tyrone Dowden it’s called PRIDE!!!

Kimmy Ball I’m glad Cheapo and Blowes doesn’t sell puppies then.

Are there Black Walnut trees in the vicinity if where you were planting? Black Walnut trees emit a hormone from their roots that kills competition plants or trees.

@@xmachine7003 Sorry, no black walnut trees. I already fixed that area with non-plant landscaping. My uncle had walnut trees growing up. I liked them...except for the fact that my mother wanted me to help her gather bushels.

Whats the exchange policy if power washer is still in plastic new out the box dont fully work. I did buy 100 in insurance. Will they exchange it. Its been like 3 maybe 4 months

Most stores,that clearance section is in the middle.

I went on that hunt yesterday. Got a bunch of goodies. 😂

He said some untrue statements about Target 🎯 not that long ago. He said a “team member” told him the info. That’s VERY untrue. You can never share Band info with Guest.

For real?

Josh R #FACTS, also there is NO ONE just doing “clearance” or markdowns for 🎯 anymore. So that stuff gets pushed to the back burner. Workers are forced to “push” the Truck all day and “Band” the store second shift. NOTICE that while we all LOVE 🎯 because it’s Well lit, clean, and doesn’t force self checkout. During the covid lockdown the CEO of 🎯 was snagged by TRASH-CAN LAND aka Walmart. Why? Because they have no proper branding. “Rollback” NO THANKS. All that means is trashy people rolling in. So they needed a new vision. They need a better way to model the stores. Walmart will now become a bit more upscale. Most people missed that little fact. So when the deal guy say anything about these stores... remember he doesn’t actually KNOW.

Yes we should be putting them out today o can only say it for the home depot that I work at not all of them

HD associate 🙋🏻‍♀️. We’ve had Christmas lights and trees for two weeks now. Our “Christmas center” is being put up now as we speak 😂

LOL too funny @susanwheat9910 Thanks for sharing !

yes my patunes died I need new one's

Lmao thats wrong the plants have one year with proof it doesnt. Matter the type of plant

With a HD Credit card their return policy is four times longer. You are right about 90 days VS. one year. Some of their outdoor equipment only has a 30 day return policy but with a HD CC it goes to 120 days. It's a NO HASSLE return meaning you don't have to have a reason for returning. Works great on stuff like expensive Milwaukee gloves as you know you will wear them out within a year. Keep your receipt and get brand new ones if they wear out in less than a year.

Normal return policy is 90 days with receipt or card purchased on, with the exception of gas powered products (like a mower), which is 30 days.

@@janicekambarn1163 If you use the Home Depot CC it is 4 times the normal return policy

@@williamdebow3478 Yes. The return policy for purchasing with a THD CC is 365 days (one year). Percentage of people not having a THD CC is higher though. There are benefits for having a CC, more benefits for joining Pro Extra and any CC can be linked.

@@janicekambarn1163 Unless it is something that normally has a 30 day return policy(chainsaw, gas blower, mower) then it is 120 days.

Awesome 👏

I have got discounts on peat moss and mulch as well!

robert bond Yup. Sunday morning is the best time to go. They usually put all the damaged bags on a pallet outside the garden dept. If they offer 50% off agree to buy the entire pallet for 70% off. It works!

@shannon11590 real mvp. I do too. My dad usually asks for the discounts though. =D

Lowe's does the same I got busted concrete bags for 25 cents each.

At Home Depot I got their last two bales of straw for $ 3.00 !!!

Have you bought from a specific seller on eBay? How much do you usually buy it for?

@@robbievega4763 there are a few people selling them on eBay. I don't remember who I bought them from. I get them in a pack of 20 or 40 for around $.50 each

Thanks for being here!!

Thanks for watching David!

I've never seen a home depot that doesn't have a Lowes right next door.

@@CalzoneDR Yes please Lowe's. On Depo is very far from me

Great idea!

The Deal Guy find item on homedepot.com, then take to Lowe’s for price match.

Lowes used to circulate a 10% coupon inside moving mailer packets available at the post office , as a offer for those who are changing their address in the mail. Im not sure if they still do this. However, you can still take advantage of receiving email coupons upon first sign up for many retailers as a new email customer to get a % off your first purchase after submitting your email address. Home Depot has credit promos too, upon getting their credit card approval they give you 50 dollars credit on your first charged purchase. Happy Shopping 🛍

Agreed!

Yay!

@@kimmyball4961 great question Kimmy. Here's what you should do with each individual can before reordering extras. Place tape over the order sticker or ask for an extra sticker for the can. Keep it as an extra receipt of paint color. With that tip in mind, it could either be an overdose of tint in the can which is shown by the individual tint amounts to create your color. Sheen can adjust your output, where it is placed with natural lighting in the room, or even if you have swapped brands of paint. Finally, you can bring the can back to the store for a free paint review and consult. Take note of the associate who has helped you as well for reference as needed. I do hope this helps provide some clarity.
