  • Home Depot sells everything home improvement-related to both professional contractors and those who prefer do-it-yourself projects.
  • Whichever group you fall into, there are a lot of tricks that can help you save money at Home Depot.
  • Some of the tricks include shopping at the right time of year, taking advantage of the store's price-match policy, and renting tools instead of buying them. 

Whether you're a professional contractor or a DIY amateur, there are a lot of ways to score major deals at Home Depot.

There are savings to be had through the Home Depot Garden Club and Pro Services, in addition to daily savings online. In stores, Home Depot often offers lumber or gallons of paint at discounted prices if you know where to look.

It also does one better than a price-match guarantee — if you find a better price at a competitor, Home Depot will beat it by 10%.

Here are some other tips for saving money at Home Depot: 

If you need lumber for a project, check the leftover section for discounts on scraps from previously cut lumber. Sometimes savings can be as much as 30-80%.Thomson Reuters

The "oops paint" rack, as it's called at many locations, is also a great place to find savings. When customers change their minds about custom paint colors or dislike a mix they requested, Home Depot sells the rejected custom gallons at discounted prices.Business Insider/Jessica Tyler
