What they did

He uses Grok Bot to price-shop appliances so he gets the best deal on the exact same item. It even puts items in his Home Depot cart to see the pro account price. He says it's already saving him thousands, but gave no breakdown.

How it went

X post by @Jb2Investments (Oct 29, 2026 UTC): Grok Bot price-shops appliances and adds items to a Home Depot cart to see the pro account price; 'savings thousands' unquantified. The savings claim isn't broken down. Make sure the model numbers match exactly, because retailers use slightly different SKUs
