Home Depot spring deals

Home Depot’s spring Black Friday sale is live through April 22, with 14 days of discounts across outdoor gear, grills, patio furniture and project supplies. (homedepot.com) The company says the event began on April 9 and covers seasonal categories including outdoor power equipment, tools, garden center items, patio furniture, grills and appliances. Its main sale page lists more than 1,000 results under the promotion. (homedepot.com 1) (homedepot.com 2) Some of the biggest advertised markdowns are in yard and garden basics. Home Depot’s sale page shows Miracle-Gro garden soil at $2, down from $4.57, a 56 percent discount, and Vigoro black mulch at $3.33 per bag. (homedepot.com) The retailer is also using tool bundles to pull shoppers in. WIRED reported buy-one-get-one-free offers on Ryobi, DeWalt and Milwaukee tools, and ZDNET said similar promotions were part of this year’s event. (wired.com) (zdnet.com) Spring Black Friday has become Home Depot’s annual push to capture outdoor and home-improvement spending before Memorial Day. Mashable reported the chain has followed a similar spring sale timeline since the early 2010s. (mashable.com) That timing lines up with the products Home Depot is emphasizing. Its corporate site says the sale is aimed at “peak of spring,” when shoppers are buying lawn equipment, grills, patio sets and supplies for garden and backyard projects. (homedepot.com) The promotion follows another seasonal event that ran from March 19 through April 1. In that earlier “Spring Starts” campaign, Home Depot highlighted plants, outdoor power equipment, grills and patio furniture for both do-it-yourself and professional customers. (homedepot.com) Deal coverage from shopping and tech sites has focused on bigger-ticket backyard items as much as small supplies. WIRED highlighted grills, while PopSci pointed readers to discounts on Milwaukee, Ryobi, DeWalt, Weber and patio products before inventory tightens. (wired.com) (popsci.com) For shoppers, the calendar matters as much as the price tags: Home Depot has put a firm end date on the event, and the current round of spring deals is scheduled to end on April 22.
