The water pump will also be $99.50. If you return the water pump you will only be paying $99.50 for the battery set…this is the "hack"
Hope that helps

It's kinda like buying in bulk for a discount, but "tricking/hacking" the system so you keep the bulk pricing on a single item.
We can argue all day long about the ethics of such behavior. Home Depot "allows" it, so it probably doesn't bother them that much. But you're knowingly buying a bundle for a discount, but not keeping the entirety of the bundle.
(btw, nothing is stopping the buyer from selling the unwanted pieces of the bundle on the 2nd-hand market, but they go "naaaah!" and make HD shoulder the cost.)
Like I said, it's kinda a gray area that some people have zero issue with.
It's not a gray area. It's not even a YMMV deal where it's up to a store manager. It's literally working as intended.
Kroger and other stores advertise Buy One Get One Free deals all the time. In reality you can just buy just one item for 50% when it is rang up at the register. Is it "soft defrauding" to buy only one item?
It's so funny to act like Home Depot is a struggling single mom who has to "shoulder the cost"… what cost is HD shouldering, exactly? The cost of people buying things for their labeled price?
Home Depot can easily change how this works. Literally overnight they can decide to not price their things like this, and force full returns of all items like many retailers. But they don't, and they haven't for years and years and years. Will they change it eventually? Probably, they're one of the few companies to still price it like this.
It's not even a "hack" or anything. People only use that word because it's the fastest way to describe the process. But I find it so funny that ethical high roaders always seem to find their way into the HD threads to make themselves feel superior for no reason.
