- Hello my friends of the Internet,
welcome subscribers, this is Jeff here again
and today we are reporting to you live
from Home Depot here in Coconut Creek, Florida.
Now you can see over my shoulder here
we got a whole bunch of different appliances.
This is actually the final day
of this appliance sale that's going on here at Home Depot.
And I'm sorry I couldn't get to you sooner about this,
I wanted to do something like last week,
because the sale does end today,
but we just didn't have time.
And every time we came in here,
our live broadcasts were running too long.
So anyway, I'm gonna just give you
a brief overview today of how
the Home Depot appliance sales work
and some of the caveats that you're going to face
so that you don't come away all disappointed.
So let me turn the camera around here.
So first of all, we actually came in today
to get this little refrigerator here for my daughter,
she's going away to college.
And this is a type of refrigerator.
I'm sure many of you out there are parents
who have kids going way to college,
and if you have to get a refrigerator for their dorm,
this is pretty much about the biggest you wanna get
because most of the dorms limit the size
to five cubic feet.
So we're getting a four cubic foot here,
with a freezer up top.
So you gotta be careful,
sometimes you buy these cheapy refrigerators
that are like $120, and they don't have the freezer up top.
So you want to buy the freezer that has,
the refrigerator with the freezer up top there.
Cause they need both.
Okay, so anyway, what I wanted to show you was
some of the caveats about the appliances
bought the other day, cause our stove died.
So we came in here to Home Depot
and actually we were gonna buy this one,
this is a really good price here.
$698, because this one was $999,
so it's marked down $300 from the normal sales price.
And what I liked about this one,
and I did research on Consumer Reports,
this particular LG model here
also had JD Powers Associates'
highest ranking in the last two years.
But I like this, they did away with the knobs
you can see there.
So everything is done here by touch,
you turn it on, then you go plus or minus
if you wanted it hotter or colder.
And then these two here
adjust the size of the heating coils
for the front two here,
so you can make this larger or smaller,
which is really cool, I like that.
So anyway, we were sitting here
and we were gonna buy it.
And we're filling out the paperwork with the guy here,
and then we come to find out
Home Depot doesn't stock it.
So the earliest they could ship this to us was
I think they were saying, like, August 10th.
And here we are, July 7th,
so we're talking about waiting a month
when we need it right now.
So if you need something right now,
that can be a problem because
Home Depot doesn't really stock hardly any of these.
And typically when you see these kinds of rebates
like they're running right now,
and I think all of this expires today,
yeah, July 10th 2019.
So typically when you see these kind of rebate things
like this, like this one's from LG.
And Lowe's does the same thing, too.
Whenever you see these rebates,
it's not just Home Depot even though
Home Depot would like to make it look like
they're saving you all of this money,
which they are and everything.
But it's not unique to them,
Lowe's is doing the exact same thing.
So, because-- and I've been dealing with
flipping properties and buying millions of appliances
over the past ten years.
And typically I've bought from Home Depot and Lowe's,
but I have found typically that Lowe's
usually stocks the items,
whereas Home Depot doesn't always stock the item.
So the last three or four appliance suites
that I've ordered from Lowe's?
They were delivered the next day,
because I made sure to order something
that is in stock in their backroom,
and they send the delivery company to come pick it up.
But anyway, so what they're doing here
with this Independence Day kitchen--
they call it a bundle offer, LG.
Most places will call it a suite.
And if you guys haven't bought appliances in a while,
a suite is when you buy four,
like the refrigerator, the dishwasher,
the stove, and the microwave oven there,
that's considered the suite.
And then you look on this chart here,
and it's like,
the more you buy on there the more your rebate is,
instant rebate at the end.
So this goes up to $900 if you bought some of their--
their higher-end packages here.
So usually what you do is you choose between
a refrigerator, the oven,
the microwave and the dishwasher.
Just a couple of models you can choose from.
But I just wanted to remind you that
if you're buying them here at Home Depot,
chances are it's not in stock
and you're going to be waiting
several weeks to get it.
You will get your refund
and your rebate here,
but you are going to be waiting several weeks.
So, just want to you to be aware of that.
And sometimes they'll have,
they have a few here on the floor
that are like floor models here.
So like, for example here's these two here
that say $628 and they're marked down from $648.
I mean, $20 for the floor model,
is that much of a savings?
I don't know.
But these were originally $899 here.
So, lemme just do a quick walk down the line here
to show you some of the things.
And some of them, they have an instant package
that you can just choose
where they have it all set up for you.
So they're showing you how much you're saving
off the original price that it was here.
So on this particular package here,
you're paying $2,772 at the end there,
but it looks like from what they're saying here,
you're gonna save $2,874
when you buy the entire four-piece suite.
And usually with these sales,
you wanna get in there early when they first start them
because sometimes these things run out pretty quickly.
Here's some of the other ones,
here's a GE suite here that they're doing here.
And here's another suite over here.
So they have different price levels of the suites.
This is the Samsung one, this is the one that's got the
screen on the refrigerator there.
So this one here is actually marked down at $2098
from $3110 there.
So you're saving $1000 on this particular one here.
And here you can buy a four-piece suite here
for $3048, which is pretty much the amount of
what the original price of the refrigerator would have been.
So here, they're showing you,
there's your special buy savings
plus an additional $100 for the suite,
and then the $364 Samsung instant rebate.
So I'm sure they probably have a chart
similar to this one from LG.
I don't know if this is the Samsung one,
cause this one says up to $600 on it, right.
So, right here, it shows that if you buy two appliances
you get $50, you buy three appliances you get $100 off.
If you buy four, et cetera, all the way down the line there.
So that's pretty much how that works,
and I just wanted to bring all of that to your attention
and make you aware of that.
And on the website, if you go on Home Depot's website
and you're pulling up the different appliances,
it will tell you if it's in stock or not.
Or it will give you a shipping date estimation.
So that's really what you can go by
to tell before you even step foot in the store
whether they've got it.
And so while I was here in the store the other day,
and trying to buy this stove and it wasn't in stock,
and they were telling me August 15th,
while I was sitting in here, I pulled up Lowe's website
and check the exact same model.
They actually had the exact same model.
And Lowe's was like,
a quarter of a mile up the street here
from the Home Depot,
and it showed on their website that it was in stock.
So I got in my car, drove over there,
got it and drove home with it that day.
Two days ago.
So it is now set up in our house and running.
So this is our new stove,
kind of a coincidence they had it out,
out here because the other day he was telling me
there wasn't even a floor model that they could
give me, so who knows.
Maybe they're not selling this one.
So, I hope you guys are all on page,
on board with that now,
and now you understand how these work.
That a lotta times when you see these refund deals,
you're gonna see the exact same deal
at Home Depot and at Lowe's.
In fact the price was the same at Lowe's.
The exact same $698 for this.
And let me clue you in on a little secret here.
I'm gonna give you a big shopping tip here.
I'm gonna pull out my
my little coupon here.
Many of you don't know this, but Home Depot will honor
these Lowe's 10% off mover's coupons.
So if you can ever get your hands on one of these,
and let's say Lowe's is out of stock
of something you wanna buy,
Home Depot will honor it and they'll give you the 10% off.
So, we actually used it at Lowe's the other day,
so not only was it $698 like that,
but I got 10% off of that too.
So.
That's a useful tip that I can give you guys
that will save you a lot of money.
You are welcome, America, on that one.
Cause man, lemme tell you,
every time we come in here and we're flipping a property,
if we're coming in here to Home Depot or Lowe's
and we buy a suite of appliances,
typically about $1500, we use that coupon
and we save an additional $100 off.
$1500, actually yeah, cause it's 10%.
So we typically save an additional $1500 off
even though the product is on sale too.
And you're gonna need that too,
cause if you buy things like a stove here.
We have a three conductor plug for the stove at home,
the outlet, and we upgraded it.
So I had to pay, what was it?
$30 for the plug, I think, something like that.
And then I had to buy the outlet for $10.
And I just rewired it the other day
to get all that done.
If you go on our videos tab and search
on how to convert ovens from three conductor
to four conductor outlets
to conform to the new modern electrical codes,
you'll see that there, we have that there.
And we have one for dryer,
for doing a clothes dryer as well.
And the other reason I wanted to do this live broadcast
was to tell you folks about our video
that is loading tonight.
We are doing a premiere at 8 p.m.
on how to renovate a guest bathroom.
And this is a bathroom that we did
on the second floor of a townhouse
in a friend's house a couple weeks ago.
You'll love it.
We gutted it completely down to the floor,
chipped up the tile, put down Schluter-DITRA.
We'll show you how to install that,
we'll show you how to install the tile,
a vanity, we'll even show you how to move the vanity--
the outlet box up there for the vanity
was off-center, so we had to move that as well.
And we'll show you about that.
And that all premieres tonight at 8 p.m.
And if you miss the premiere,
you can always come back tomorrow
and just watch it, it'll be one of our
regular uploaded videos.
So anyway, I hope this was helpful for you folks.
And if you liked this, we hope you give us
a thumbs up down below.
And as you know, our channel gives you many, many tips on
world-class renovations of your kitchens and your bathrooms
and all sorts of engineering failures around your house.
And we do tool reviews and we come into Home Depot,
and Costco, and Sam's, and Lowe's,
and we show you what's good and what's bad.
We show you the good, the bad, and the ugly.
And so, with that, I'm going to sign off,
and I appreciate each and every one of you tuning in today.
And, Myra Jane says, "Thanks for the tips!"
Myra, you are most welcome.
And thank you for coming in and joining us today
on this live broadcast.
And I hope this gives you folks some inspiration
and some good shopping tips,
and hopefully we'll come back to you
with more in a few more days.
We will catch you all on the flip side.
Bye y'all.
