The Home Depot provides price matching through its “Price Guarantee” promise. Here’s everything you need to know to save a few extra dollars at The Home Depot.
What is price matching?
Price matching, also referred to as a price guarantee, is a practice where a retail location will match the lower advertised price of a competitor — ensuring you always get the best price possible!
Thanks to the free Flipp app, you can easily compare prices from different local retailers in one convenient place to make price matching a breeze. For more information about price matching, check out our guide How To Save Money With Price Matching.
Here is a testament from Flipper Joseph.
Joseph is on a mission to revamp his patio. The renovations he’s hoping to complete are:
- Replacing old patio furniture
- Fixing the deck
- Adding new plants to the garden and making the grass look green and fresh
Because Home Depot price matches, Joseph emphasized that checking out prices on Flipp is a necessary step in his planning.
“Knowing that I could get everything I needed at the store I trust most, while also enjoying competitive prices, was a game changer…using the price guarantee policy, I got everything I needed for less.”
Price Matching at The Home Depot Canada
The Home Depot Canada has a price match policy that applies to both in-store and online purchases.
If you find a current lower price on an identical, in-stock item from a local retailer’s store or website (not including Amazon or Wholesalers), Home Depot Canada will match the price and beat it by 10%.
The product must be:
- Identical products that are the same make, model, and brand
- In-stock products, available for sale at a competitor and at The Home Depot
- Online competitor products that can be shipped to your location
- Products that are not part of our exclusion list

Price Matching Example at Home Depot Canada – Saving $33 on a Firepit:
Layla was looking to elevate her backyard this summer. Her goal for this year was to host more. She loves her backyard but wants to elevate it to enjoy with her guests.
One thing on her list that she wants to add is a fire pit. She’s considered a few different options from her nearest home improvement store, The Home Depot, but as a savvy shopper, Layla knows that comparing prices is key.
After her Flipp search for fire pit and search for fire bowl, Layla finds a deal from another local store that has backyard fire bowls on sale. Layla knows Home Depot price matches and that they’ll give her an additional 10% off, so she quickly checks the Home Depot website, and BINGO! The exact size, model, and color is available.
She quickly clips the other store’s deal on her Flipp app and heads to Home Depot. Not only did they match her price but beat it by an additional 10%. That’s $33 in savings! This is the reason why Layla is not only an avid Home Depot shopper, but also continues to enjoy the greatest savings by comparing prices on the Flipp app.
