I've got a good grasp on how hacking deals works, but I'm puzzled as to why I can't find the hackable deals everyone talks about on Slickdeals or this subreddit. Whenever I look up a specific deal at my local Home Depot, it seems they know nothing about the sales I've seen others post about. I assumed these deals were available at all Home Depot locations, but the prices I see online either match the full price or are not nearly as good as what's been shared. I'm really hoping to snag an M12 Fuel kit that comes with a free ratchet, and I'd love to discover some hackable deals for forge batteries too. What's the secret to finding these deals at my local store?

It’s frustrating, right? A lot of those killer deals are online exclusives, so make sure you're checking the Home Depot website directly. Sometimes the tricky part is that these deals can differ based on discounts like military offers, which aren’t factored into the standard pricing. When you're looking for an M12 kit, make sure you're on the main product page and not a bundled one. Also, remember that deal items often get posted in the afternoons and can disappear quickly! What exact M12 drill deal are you trying to grab?
Have you tried checking the online listings? Sometimes people will share deals after stacking discounts, which makes the prices different from what you see. But if you're hitting dead ends, remember that some deals may just be available online, and they may not always show correctly in-store or even across different areas. If you see something you want, just add it to your cart and see what happens! It can be tricky but worth keeping an eye out!
I see what you mean! I've spotted those deals too and clicked the same links but ended up disappointed with higher prices.

I was eyeing that matching M12 drill driver kit but I keep missing it! How are people finding it so easily?
