If you’re looking for deals, you might want to check out this Discord group. A shopper scored at Home Depot with four Frigidaire ice maker machines because of it.
Home Depot hack
Customer @resale_rascals scored a major deal at Home Depot.
“I knew that this specific location had these ice makers on sale,” he says. “Now, they’re originally $270, but they’re on sale for $135. Amazing right? Wrong. It’s even cheaper than that. I was alerted, thanks to the Discord in my bio, that this specific location has just dropped them in price and that this location had four available.”
@resale_rascals goes to the self-check at Home Depot, and each comes out to $68. The total for four came out to $272. So, according to @resale_rascals, they got four ice makers for the price of one.
As the TikToker’s name suggests, they are most likely stocking up on these ice makers to resell them and make a profit.

Discord is marketed for video gamers as a space for them to connect and sometimes even get access to exclusive games and content. However, tons of users on the platform are not gamers and use the site for chatting with friends and creating communities.
Besides Discord, TikTok is another place to find information on how to score deals at stores like Home Depot. There are tons of people sharing information about how to score deals. For example, this TikToker shares how to order your Starbucks latte in a way that cuts a few dollars off but gets you almost the same thing.
