Yes, both Home Depot and Lowe's price match. Each will match a competitor's current lower price on an identical, in-stock item, including each other, Walmart, Target and Amazon (items sold by Amazon itself). Neither beats the price by an extra 10% anymore. It's a straight match. Clearance, special buys, bundles and marketplace sellers are excluded.

Home Depot's price match rules
- Identical item: same brand, model number, color, size and specifications.
- In stock at both Home Depot and the competitor.
- Proof: a current online listing or ad on your phone.
- Competitors: local stores and major online retailers such as Lowe's, Walmart, Target and Amazon (sold by Amazon). Warehouse clubs are excluded.
- Excluded: clearance and closeouts, Special Buys and limited-quantity deals, Black Friday and similar events, bundles, open-box and damaged items, installation and labor.
- After you buy: Home Depot typically allows a price adjustment within 30 days if the item gets cheaper at Home Depot or at a qualifying competitor. Confirm the window at the service desk.
Lowe's price match rules
- Identical item: same model number, color, size and included accessories.
- In stock and available for delivery to your area.
- Shipping counts: Lowe's compares the competitor's total price, including delivery.
- Competitors: local and online retailers such as Home Depot, Menards, Ace Hardware, Walmart, Target, Best Buy and Amazon (sold by Amazon). Membership clubs are excluded.
- Excluded: clearance, seasonal items, Black Friday deals, BOGO and bundle offers, and marketplace sellers. Lowe's coupons and discounts generally can't be combined with a match.
- After you buy: Lowe's accepts requests after purchase but doesn't publish a fixed window, so ask as soon as you spot a lower price.
How to get the match (either store)
- Scan the item's barcode to find the lowest price on that exact model and confirm the competitor has it in stock.
- Go to a register or the service desk and show the live listing on your phone.
- Buying online? Use chat or call customer service with a link to the competitor's listing before you check out.
Beat the model-number trap
Tools, appliances and grills are often made in slightly different versions for each retailer, with a different model number or kit contents. That's the most common reason these matches get denied. Comparing by barcode instead of product name is the quickest way to make sure it's the same item:
- Scan the barcode of the item on the shelf with Price Match Paradise. No account needed to start.
- Review matching offers across supported retailer sources, with stock status and price-match guidance when the retailer data is available.
- Decide in the aisle: ask for a match, buy it here because it's already the best price, or pick it up where it's cheaper.
