Saving at Home Depot

Yes, Home Depot has many regular sales. First, check out the Home Depot Deal of the Day. Then, check back in for these regular seasonal sales:

• Spring Black Friday Sale: Usually starts the first Thursday of April, and runs for 10-14 days.

• Memorial Day Sale: Usually runs through about the last ten days of May, including Memorial Day.

No, Home Depot does not price-match Amazon. The Home Depot price match policy does include some other major retailers, though, like Target, Best Buy, and Lowes.

You can get your free Home Depot Kids' Workshop Kits on the first Saturday of the month. Every month.

If your dog is a service dog, it will be allowed in any and all Home Depot locations. If it is not a service dog, you’ll want to check ahead for your local store’s policy. Here are some of the best pet-friendly stores around.

No, Home Depot is closed on Thanksgiving. You can catch Home Depot Black Friday deals throughout the week, though. This year we’re predicting Home Depot Black Friday sales will start two full days before Thanksgiving on Nov. 22.

If you are feeling ultra compelled to shop on Thanksgiving, you can always check out the Home Depot Cyber Monday sale from the comfort of your own couch. Home Depot’s Cyber Monday sale actually runs for weeks, and doesn’t end until the Wednesday following Cyber Monday.

The absolute best Home Depot mulch sale happens during the Home Depot Spring Black Friday sale, which usually starts the first Thursday in April. Another good time of year to check out the garden center is during the Home Depot Memorial Day sale, though mulch prices may not be quite as good as they are during Spring Black Friday.

The Home Depot return policy gives you 30 days to return unopened paint, as long as it’s not a custom tint. If it’s a custom color, you’ll only be eligible for a return if they totally messed up your order.

Don’t forget that there are some Home Depot freebies you can pick up at any time, including paint stirrers and paint can openers.

Yes, there is a Home Depot Military Discount. The 10% military discount can be used online or in-store, but you can only save a maximum of $400 per calendar year. Certain items are excluded, like some commodity products (lumber, wire, and building materials), tool rental fees, gift cards, and appliances.

To claim the discount, you'll need to first verify your military status through your Home Depot account. Once you're verified, it will automatically apply at checkout online. In-store, you'll scan a Virtual ID.

Bear in mind that even if you qualify for the military discount, it might not be the best option. Other Home Depot discounts can knock up to 30% off the list price.
