Home Depot Deals

As many of you know I like to do my renovation on a tight budget and I am always sourcing from different merchants, both physical and online stores. I have now found a site called CouponChief that allows me to save quite a bit of money on the things I am buying anyway. They even have Home Depot signed on as a partner. Right now they are offering 20% off area rugs and 20% - 50% off power tools, faucets and hardware. You can find the specific page here:

HOME DEPOT DEALS

Along with Home Depot, they have a whole home and garden section offering coupons and deals for around 25 different stores. There are even videos and instructions that walk you through getting the deals. It is certainly worth checking out.

A Reason to Spend More Time at The Home Depot

Look out DIYers, apparently we have a reason (like we didn't have enough before) to hang out at The Home Depot.

TLC's newest show "Take-Home-Handyman" will feature carpenter Andrew Dan-Jumbo as he hunts down unsuspecting victims in the Home Depot and then goes home with them to help them complete a weekend project. Not only that but while he is there, he will fix up any other little things that he can find and even have time to zone in on and renovate a surprise section of your home. It sounds like a winner to me. The show premiers Saturday, March 31st at 1:oo PM EST.

Andrew Dan-Jumbo was born in Nigeria and raised in England where he studied Art and Design and graduated to become a freelance graphic designer. He moved to the US in 1991 and started a construction company with his brother. He has been the carpenter for several seasons of "While You Were Out."

In 2003 Andrew was named one of People Magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People." I don't think many wives will mind this guy tearing up their house and rebuilding it.

If I don't post for a while, it is because I am at Home Depot scratching my head and doing my best to look helpless.

Home Depot Named gia World Honoree

It seems that the DIY craze is paying off for US based Home Depot. They were recently named the gia World honoree. Gia World is the Global Innovator Award, this one being presented by the International Home and Housewares show.

Home Depot received this award due to its operations performance, business innovation, product breadth, and community contributions where it does business. I guess that the amount of mom and pop hardware stores that it puts out of business do not factor into the equation. Love it or hate it, the super-retailer is king in America.

The jurors were quoted as saying that the Home Depot won due to its outstanding product breadth and innovative programs. Not only did the Home Depot have another outstanding fiscal year, but they also support the community and charitable causes.

Gia World is a program that honors retailing excellence around the world. It is co-sponsored by the International Housewares Association and Euromonitor International. The International Housewares Association is a 69 year-old not-for-profit association that is the voice of the housewares industry. The housewares industry is a $301.2 billion USD global industry. Euromonitor international is the world’s leading provider of retail business intelligence and strategic market analysis.
