Home Depot Price Tracker

The Home Depot was co-founded in 1978 by Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank, among others, opened its first stores in 1979 and is headquartered in the Atlanta area. Besides its US stores, it operates in Canada and Mexico, each with its own website. On homedepot.com you'll find tools, building materials, appliances, flooring, paint and garden supplies, with home delivery, in-store pickup and online returns. A growing part of its business serves professional contractors.

Home Depot's promotions come in layers. The daily Special Buy deals are online only, available while supplies last and reset early each morning; professionals also get a weekly Pro Special Buy. On top of that come seasonal events and the big holiday weekends. Prices can depend on location, too: Home Depot notes that local store prices may vary from those displayed online, so the same product can cost different amounts in different areas.

Because prices can vary by location, compare the price in your alert email with what the product page shows for your store before you buy. Set alarms early for bigger purchases such as appliances, mowers or grills. With power tools, the same drill is often sold as a tool-only version or in kits with batteries and a charger – each has its own model number and price, so track exactly the one you'd buy.
