Home Depot Penny App: Is It Real?

Quick Answer

Home Depot doesn't make a penny app. Penny items are items their system marks down to $0.01 to clear out inventory, and Home Depot has no reason to advertise that. So tools like Deal Soldier track the inventory as the prices fall. Members get a custom tailored penny list for their ZIP code and local stores. Deal Soldier alerts you when clearance items drop, and offers a penny score that indicates the probability of an item being a penny.

Home Depot doesn't have a penny app. Professional clearance hunters still find these items faster than everyone else

Penny items won't show $0.01 on the Home Depot website because they're being cleared out of the system. And no retailer advertises that.

That's where we come in. Deal Soldier uses a pattern recognition algorithm to track thousands of items and predict when they'll hit $0.01. Our system handles the analysis behind the scenes so you can focus on finding deals. You get an organized, updated penny list built for your local stores and ZIP code.

Every item comes with the UPC and SKU number, so you can verify it in store.

The penny score

Some items on your list are confirmed pennies, verified by our community of professional clearance hunters. The rest carry a penny score, the probability that an item has turned to $0.01 based on its most recent price change.

No tool on earth can guarantee a penny price before the register confirms it. Anyone promising that is being dishonest with you. What the penny score does is make sure you're checking the right items before everyone else.

Penny list card tagged WILDCARD for an LG 27 inch laundry pedestal in gray graphite steel, retail $299.00, now $0.01, one in stock in the appliance showroom of a store 10 miles away.

Alerts make this fast and easy

The penny feed updates constantly for your ZIP code. And if you're watching a specific item that hasn't dropped at your store yet, set an alert. The moment our system detects a price change, we'll send you a notification.

This is why a custom ZIP code list matters more than anything. If you hunt penny deals with free lists, you get late, stale data pulled from Facebook groups. Those items are likely not $0.01 at your store. That turns your hunt into a guessing game.
