🏡 How to Research a Home Remodel on a Budget
Plan materials, fixtures, and tools with the shopping assistant before you swipe a card.
A remodel adds up fast. The shopping assistant helps you price out the pieces, find cheaper alternatives, and track things you will buy later.
How to Do It
- Open the shopping assistant.
- Describe the project and budget: "I am renovating a small bathroom for under $3,000" or "Kitchen refresh, cabinets and countertops only, budget $5,000".
- Ask for a category at a time: "Best budget bathroom vanities", "Faucets under $150", "Subway tile options".
- For each pick, tap Watch to get notified when the price drops.
What You Get Back
A running shortlist you can come back to as the project moves forward. The assistant will note when prices change and call out alternatives when a retailer starts discounting.
Tips
- Break the remodel into rooms or categories so each prompt stays focused.
- Ask "show me cheaper alternatives that look similar" when a pick is over budget.
- Save products to a watched list so your partner or contractor can see what you are considering.
