Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
For decades, the leadership teams and marketing departments at companies like HD have undertaken tremendous efforts to figure out how to squeeze every fraction of a penny out of people like you and me.
The notion that we are "hacking" something without them knowing is ludicrous. Their social media listening tools caught that concept well before most of us ever heard of it. They know more about you than some of your friends do. Our "hacks" are the result of thousands of hours of spreadsheet analyses, business intelligence/data science projects and countless board room powerpoint presentations on our buying behaviors. Every millisecond of our web page interaction, every path to purchase has been analyzed beyond belief over the past ten years to maximize the % chance that we convert (complete our purchase) with the highest dollar amount and margin they can squeeze out of us.
The "hackable" deal is a brilliant strategy because price sensitive consumers like us will convert near our personal max, while other segments of the general public and contractors will buy the same thing at a higher effective price and margin and everyone feels they got a good deal.
Make no mistake, we are the ones getting "hacked" here. But we do get the deal we want/demand and everyone wins.
Nothing is hackable. It is stealing via loopholes. Honesty is always better than guilt. You know what you are doing is wrong and it will catch up to you.
Return items based on your deal. Or someone will be at loss because of your actions.

Justify it however you want in your own mind, but what is being committed is fraud. If they sold you a bundle of goods consisting of 3 items, you should have to return all three to get your money back. If you are not returning all three yet getting a full refund, you retained possession of an item you did not pay for. Theft by some other name is still theft. Don't try wrapping it up with some moral cover by equating it to the little guy vs the big mean corporation.
