Using discount gift cards for Home Depot & Lowes

I have been purchasing discount gift cards for HD and Lowes and the savings have been substantial.  You can get a Lowes card at a 10% discount and HD at 7%.  If you combine this with the mover's package the savings can be up to 20%.  I pay for these cards with my 2% cash-back credit card.  I've had a very good experience with the vendor that I buy cards from.  They come electronically for added convenience.  I also use these cards for many purchases at various retailers, restaurants, etc.

I thought I'd throw this out there and apologize if this has already been discussed!

I have been able to consistently find lowes $10 off $50+ coupon codes online over the last year. The site I have used most recently is http://renovopower.com/lowes.html. I make an online purchase of approximately $50, pick it up in store for a savings of approx 20%. This is how I paid for tile. I bought $250 of tile in $50 increments, at $10 off per increment. The store staff was kind of confused that I had several orders of the same tile, being picked up at the same time. I have found this to be the easiest way to save through Lowes.

Lowes also stopped taking phone orders because of fraud.
