Gift Cards/Incentives - cost saving strategies for buying materials
What are some cost saving strategies people use to buy materials from Lowes/Home Depot/Menards etc.
I am planning to close on a house on the 23rd of January. It needs 4 to 6 windows replaced. Windows total will probably run around $600 total.
After closing, I was planning to open a new mastercard/visa account to get $100 if I spend $500 in the first 3 months I know my bro in law has a mastercard that gives him 3% back in cash on what he spends.
Also there are some web sites that I can buy home depot gift cards 10% off.
Do any other BP members start combining these to reduce their costs? I would think it would really be worth it if you were spending a bunch as a builder/rehabber?
What are the innovative ways you've saved money on materials?
