When Are Home Depot Black Friday 2026 Deals, and What Are Penny Deals?

Black Friday 2026 falls on Friday, November 27, and Cyber Monday on November 30. Home Depot said on September 29, 2026 that its holiday savings on gifts begin October 29 and last throughout the season, so US shoppers can find Home Depot deals weeks before Black Friday. Penny deals are clearance items that ring up at $0.01 in store; Home Depot does not promote them as a sale.

Home Depot describes itself as the world's largest home improvement specialty retailer, with 2,364 stores at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and over 470,000 associates, according to its September 2026 announcement. That reach is why its Black Friday deals on tools, smart home products and decor draw so much attention every year.

The verdict

Home Depot's 2026 holiday deals start October 29, well before Black Friday on November 27, and penny deals are a clearance quirk rather than a sale you can plan around. The order that usually gets you the lowest price:

1. Make a short list now. Tools, appliances, smart home, decor. Note today's price for each.
2. Watch from October 29. Home Depot's holiday gift savings start that day, according to Home Depot.
3. Check Special Buy of the Day. A one-day deal can beat the Black Friday price on a specific item.
4. Decide in Black Friday week. November 27 is Black Friday and November 30 is Cyber Monday in 2026.
5. Go through ShopBack US, then check out online. At Home Depot, as with travel sites like Booking.com, Trip.com, Agoda and Expedia, going through ShopBack is an essential step before you check out, so you pay less on the same order.

Home Depot Black Friday 2026: what to expect

For 2026, Home Depot has named three gift categories in its holiday savings: power tools, smart home products and entertaining essentials. Its holiday decor range adds artificial trees, lighting and large animated displays, and this year's collection includes Hubspace app control for some displays, according to Home Depot.

Delivery is part of the price too. Home Depot says it offers free delivery on over 2 million items, with same-day or next-day delivery on select products. On a large item, free delivery can be worth as much as a small discount, so compare the delivered total, not only the sticker price.

What are Home Depot penny deals?

Penny deals, also called penny items, is the name shoppers use for clearance items that ring up at $0.01 at a Home Depot register. It is not a Home Depot promotion, and Home Depot does not publish a list of penny items. Here is what shoppers who follow penny items commonly report:

• A penny price usually signals the item is due to be pulled from sale. Clearance stock that has not sold is marked for removal, and the system price can drop to a cent.
• There is no list. Penny items vary by store and by day, and they are not shown online.
• A store can say no. Because the item is meant to be removed, staff may decline to sell it at that price. Treat a penny find as luck, not a plan.
• Accept the store's call. If the cashier will not ring it through, put it back.

If you want predictable savings, the better targets are Home Depot's clearance section, Special Buy of the Day and the holiday deals that start October 29.

Home Depot sale dates and deals for US shoppers in 2026

Beyond Black Friday, Home Depot runs deals all year, so the cheapest day for a given item is not always in November. The recurring places to check:

• Special Buy of the Day. A featured one-day deal on homedepot.com.
• Holiday and seasonal savings. In 2026 the holiday gift savings run from October 29 through the season.
• Clearance. In store and online, with prices shown before you pay.
• Price match. Home Depot has its own price match and price adjustment rules; our guide to Home Depot price match explains them.

Home Depot official sale offers

Home Depot's own offers are the first place to look, because a sale price needs no code. The official channels are the Specials and Offers pages on homedepot.com, the Home Depot app, and Home Depot's email sign-ups. Pros can also join Pro Xtra, Home Depot's free loyalty program for professional customers, which has its own member offers and terms.

Use codes only from Home Depot itself or from the Home Depot page on ShopBack. Codes copied from random coupon sites often do not work and can stop an online order from tracking.

How to shop Home Depot Black Friday 2026 deals online

The order of steps matters, because ShopBack US tracks cash back on online orders that start from its Home Depot page. In order:

1. Clear your Home Depot cart and close the Home Depot app.
2. Open the Home Depot page on ShopBack in the ShopBack US app, on the website or with the browser extension.
3. Tap through to homedepot.com and add your Black Friday items.
4. Check out in the same visit. Switch off other cashback or coupon extensions while you shop.
5. Keep the receipt. The order tracks to your ShopBack US account and usually confirms after the return period.

Can I get cashback on Home Depot Black Friday orders?

Yes, on eligible online orders through ShopBack US. ShopBack lowers the effective price of flights, hotels and online orders after you pay. Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.

Your effective price is what you pay minus the cash ShopBack returns. A worked example with an illustrative rate: on a $500 Home Depot Black Friday order at an illustrative 3%, $15 comes back, so the effective price is $485. Rates differ by category at Home Depot and can change around Black Friday, so check the live rate on the Home Depot page on ShopBack before you buy.

Which cashback sites work with Home Depot?

Several US cashback and shopping rewards sites list Home Depot, and each sets its own rate, categories and terms. Those change, especially in Black Friday week, so look at live pages on the day you buy rather than a list in an article. On ShopBack US, the Home Depot page shows the current rate, the categories it covers and the steps to follow before you check out.

Other home improvement stores to compare

Home Depot sits in a category of big US home and hardware stores on ShopBack US with Lowe's, Ace Hardware, Walmart and Best Buy. Check one or two of them on the same model number before Black Friday.
