Of course, you can’t buy tools for every repair, but Home Depot has made it possible to rent them. So, instead of buying a new electric drill that costs $350, you can rent one for, say, $30. Also, Home Depot’s rental plans are flexible, allowing you to rent tools by the hour or for days, weeks, and even months.
Making Your Kids Toe the DIY Line

Saving Money on Furniture
You know how easy it is for display items to get damaged, especially if customers get to feel and try them out before the purchase. Usually, displayed furniture tends to sell at a cheaper price.

So, next time you want to get a piece of furniture, but notice the one on display has some wear, approach a Home Depot associate to show interest. Most likely, you’ll be offered a discount for taking the furniture off their hands.
Have You Heard About 'Pennying Out?'
Sometimes, Home Depot retires some products from its shelves not because they’re bad, but because they’ve stopped selling them. The store then values such items at $0.001, irrespective of their size or purpose. Speak of treating a product like a bad debt!

It may be difficult to identify such items, and Home Depot does not list them on their websites. However, if you’ve been nice to associates at your local outlet, they just might show available ones to you. Also, you can check penny-out items using the self-checkout machine.
