Best way to minimize spend at Home Depot

[stamello]

I want to make a purchase at Home Depot in the next week or so on a $900 item. Here's my current plan - is it the best way to minimize out-of-pocket cost?
1. Coupon match - 20% harbor freight coupon or 10% lowes coupon
2. Pay with gift cards bought online at 8-10% discount
Are there other discount methods?
Thanks,
Joseph

complete a change of address form with USPS. They almost always have a HD or Lowes discount.

See if you know any contractors who have a deal with HD. you can use their account, free shipping too.

what is the 20% harbor freight coupon?

[stamello]

Its a pretty standard coupon that comes in newspaper advertising. Harbor freight puts them out a lot, so they're all over ebay too.

Home Depot matches harbor freight?  Only on tools or even something like a fridge?

I've never tried it - googling tells me YMMV
