The sale runs through November 25 in stores and online, with 6.5-foot pre-lit Christmas trees at $49.98, power tool buy-one-get-one offers from RYOBI, Milwaukee and DEWALT, and up to $1,250 off major appliances (details as of November 4, 2026, from The Home Depot’s official announcement).

Power Tool BOGO: How It Works
The headline tool offer is a buy-one-get-one on select power tools: buy a participating tool or battery kit from brands including RYOBI, Milwaukee and DEWALT, and you can get a select power tool free. Home Depot does not list every eligible pairing in its announcement, so check the product page for the BOGO tag before you buy. Hubspace smart home products, tool kits and accessories are also on sale. Source: The Home Depot.
The $1,250 Appliance Math
Home Depot’s appliance offer stacks by category, with a maximum discount of $1,250:
- Refrigeration: up to an extra $500 off qualifying purchases of $2,498 or more
- Laundry: up to $300 off purchases of $1,698 or more
- Cooking: up to $300 off purchases of $1,498 or more
- Dishwashers: up to $150 off purchases of $798 or more
Add the four category caps and you land exactly on the $1,250 maximum (our math). To unlock all four, you would spend at least $6,492, which works out to roughly a 19% discount at those minimums. A single fridge at $2,498 with the extra $500 off is closer to 20%. Source: The Home Depot.
Our Take
A $49.98 pre-lit tree is the eye-catcher, and starting November 5 gives shoppers almost three weeks before the Thanksgiving crowds. The appliance bundle only makes sense if you were already planning a kitchen or laundry upgrade, and the BOGO depends on which tools are actually tagged. Home Depot notes that selection, pricing and promotions can vary between stores and online.
- Best for: holiday decorators and DIYers buying tool gifts
- Skip it if: you only need one small appliance, since the extra discounts start at $798
