I know they get a lot of hate but I like Menards. They have an awesome selection of PVC fittings and sizes, the tools I've bought there have all held up decent, and the employees are a lot more pleasant to deal with than Orange Box or bLowes. My local Menards does the 11% rebate on everything which is kind of a pain in the ass to redeem, just take 11% off at the register. I guess they want to mail you store credits to make sure you come back.
It's all a gimmick anyway, they just price everything in the store 11% higher and give you a rebate. Their sales fliers usually show the price "after rebate".
Yep & you can even end up paying more then when they don't have the 11%.
Must be a good racket because now they mostly always have the 11% off thing going on.

My FIL rebuilt his deck with lumber from menards. His rebate was literally hundreds of dollars.
I’ve been rewiring my house with electrical supplies from menards and I too have saved hundreds, which I then put right back into more parts.

Yep.
Last month I rebuilt a small set of stairs for a family friend.
I priced out Lowes vs Menards and Menards was straight up cheaper. (lowes killed off the military discount which would have made it closer)
And in the end I got a $120 rebate above and beyond the like ~$200 I saved.
So accounting for the rebate, ~$880 bucks in materials vs ~$1200 for the same exact hardware, same shitty big box store wood.
People who b***h about the rebates are morons and have no experience with Menards clearly.
I just bought Miracle Grow potting soil yesterday, looking it up on Menards >2cu ft bag (56.6 l), >$15.69, $13.96 AR
lowes has the same exact miracle grow in a different sized bag
Its a "50qt bag" which is 55.06 l
$17.98 for less material.
This is across the board.

I bought flipper-tier carpet and underlayment to replace the old crap in my last house when I was about to sell it. My rebate ended up being over $1k, which funded brand new heavy-duty shelves for the garage and basement in my new house. Menards is awesome.

No. The prices aren’t any higher. You know why they offer the rebates so much? Because they know most people won’t take the time to mail in the rebates. >I CANT POSSIBLY MAIL THAT HONEY IM TOO BUSY SHITPOSTING NONSENSE!
Where else can I get 2x4, romex, a tub of cheese balls, and a pack of socks, all with an 11% rebate?

hi neighbor
Menards no contest for me. 11% rebate is especially useful considering dog food and grocery items ( even if it's just onesie twosie bullshit ) are included
Good, more people need to hear the gospel of Menards
Too bad the harsh reality is that Menards is a very horrible cheap employer that routinely puts employees into danger. One of the most israelite corps out there. They wouldnt spend a dime on marketing
NH. Central part. There's actually a decent number of farms around but a distinct lack of farm/ag stores. I have one good one nearby they're just independently run and a little pricey.
The past couple years with Bidenomics, Publix has become nearly impossible to afford for general grocery shopping. The newest stores have Starbuck’s in them and shit, but it’s like $12 for a single package of shitty Oscar Meyer bacon and I can go to Costco and get 4lbs of Kirkland basic or 3lbs of thick cut good stuff for the same money.
I used to be like 50-50 Publix and Winn Dixie, but now I’m between Costco and Walmart more because Publix doesn’t even have any good sales outside of holiday weekends and I’m not going to pay $13 for a frozen pizza when I could go to Papa John’s for the same money.
Tractor Supply and Blaines are the two closest stores to me.
Thens its Lowes and Menards and Home Depot
I almost never go into TSC, but Blaines is nice.
Its pretty expensive but ill pay an extra buck or two to not spend the extra gas.
Its not much of a hardware store though, very limited selection of shit.
Menards by far has the best prices and selection of them all. Its also the furthest thing from me of course..
Menards no contest for me. 11% rebate is especially useful considering dog food and grocery items ( even if it's just onesie twosie bullshit ) are included
>they won't put the aisle/shelf location of all the items on their website like Home Depot did
fricking hate wandering around and wasting time trying to find shit at menards. yeah they're usually better priced than Depot but sometimes I just pay the Depot markup because I can look at my phone and it tells me EXACTLY where the item I want is located.
Are you really so helpless that you have to be spoonfed a precise map to the part you want? You lack the basic skills needed to find the aisle you want and track down your part? Do you also need your phone to give you step ny step instructions on how to wipe your ass? Fricking helpless zoomer.
To be fair the Despot spent a LOT of money developing the accuracy of their website and it takes a lot to maintain that accuracy in each store.
Home Repo HAD to set up their locator feature because their employees are so fricking useless you can't ask them where to find anything. Menards employees are actually help and know where shit is located in their store.
I went to Ace Hardware to get a paint match to do patch work. I brought a sample. The guy asked me a bunch of questions about which product I wanted. I chose a product but then he said he couldn't do the match in that product. Then he ripped the sample in half and wanted me to hold the piece up to their wall of colors to pick one. None of them were what I wanted. Then I have to tell him I came to get it computer matched and it can be any product in the store. He called someone else over after getting his dirty finger prints all over the sample and they started asking me all the same questions all over again.
>Ace is the Black person place.

>save big money on my nards
Love me Menards, simple as. Getting ready to move back down south and I'm gonna miss it. The area I'm going to only has a Lowes, so I'll end up driving half an hour just to get to a Home Depot for anything I can't get from the local sawmill.
I have HD ship to me and buy as much as practical online to save myself shitloads of time. Menards is def cool though and if one were nearby would patronize.
Two biggest complains:
1. Unlike Lowes or Home Depot, no aisle info is provided on their website so you have to ask someone to find the item for you and it can turn out a pretty painful experience.
2. CHANGE THE FRICKING TUNE I CAN'T BEAR IT ANYMORE
They play it every 10 minutes or so and there is no way to avoid it even if you are trying to be real quick.
>1. Unlike Lowes or Home Depot, no aisle info is provided on their website so you have to ask someone to find the item for you and it can turn out a pretty painful experience.
Anon, I'm no Menard's shill, especially since John Menard is a c**t, but if you need a website to tell you how to navigate a brick and mortar store, you have problems Menard's can't solve for you.
Just... look up.
Damn, you boomers are thick. It is not about "website telling me how to navigate a store". It is about quickly finding a required item instead of walking around, looking up, then scanning nearby ailes etc. Here is what it looks like on Lowes website as an example. I could be *in the store* and it is still easier for me to look up what I am looking for on the phone and go to the aisle and find the right bay and grab it. What if you are buying ten different things? Are you going to walk around the store reading the signs and then scanning the entire aisle to find a littly thingy you are looking for? And then repeat for 10 other things?
yes? i understand the want to know exactly where it is if youre buying one thing but if youre going through the whole store anyway i dont see a problem.

>John Menard is a c**t
man I never saw this until now but I've been going to the place for years and this is exactly the kind of vibe that bleeds through EVERYTHING in this place, it's downright unsettling
I worked at their distribution center in college, the whole family is c**ts
The fricking jingle they won't discontinue or at least change after all these years is a sure sign. It is clearly to annoy people especially the employees. I'd fricking puncture my ears with a screwdriver if I had to work there. I am surprised they don't do some kind of trans nuns events during the gay month or whatever.

No, but that fricking menards jingle plays every 10 minutes. Luckily in the lumberyard, there aren't as many speakers so you don't hear it as much.
How many times a week do you find empty power tool boxes stuffed into the lumber stacks?
Only found stolen shit once, security is pretty good at our store. Sometimes ill find small things like boxes of nails or screws near the drywall.
Are you forklift certified?
I've been driving forklifts at menards for 3 years now, it was ridiculously easy to get trained on. I don't have a card or anything, so I assume I'm not legally certified. Really I think its just I have permission to drive them on company property. I'm really good though so I'd assume getting certified would be a piece of cake.
How many times have you gotten injured
We all know the stories
Been injured 3 times so far, none long lasting.
1st: lifting "silt socks" (big cloth tubes filled with hay for shitty landscaping hacks). The hay gets really ground up and fine, so as I was lifting it a piece of tiny hay flew into my eye and tore apart my retina. I tried for hours to rub and rinse it out, but I ended up going to the hospital to get it out. It took about 3 days to fully heal.
2nd: lifting excessively with poor technique. I was stocking 6x6 posts and was really straining my wrists. I dropped one and it jerked my wrist forward and sprained my wrist slightly. Wasn't severe, but couldn't lift anything with my right hand over 10lbs for about 1 week. Wore a brace, got better.
3rd: fixing/repairing old shelving units outside in the brick/block isle. Majority of the boards holding up bricks were rotten, so they had me cut up new boards to replace the old ones. Rode an order picker up to the top, and began replacing boards. One of them was so rotten, my foot blasted through it and I dropped a few feet before the harness caught me. Hurt like a b***h, but didn't break anything. >pic related is my 3rd injury

In my area, Menards was the first hardware store to enforce mask rules and the last to take them down. So I stopped going there. Also just about everything they have is, by direct comparison, more expensive than Lowes
I know they get a lot of hate but I like Menards. They have an awesome selection of PVC fittings and sizes, the tools I've bought there have all held up decent, and the employees are a lot more pleasant to deal with than Orange Box or bLowes.

It's so your lazy ass doesn't bother and they just never pay you
They don't give you cash, you mail all your receipts in and six months later you get a store credit.
Which is fine because you can get the rebate on commodity items and then spend it on commodity items.
If they ever limit the rebate to only non commodity items then they’ll be fricked.
It's all a gimmick anyway, they just price everything in the store 11% higher and give you a rebate. Their sales fliers usually show the price "after rebate".
I’ve comparison shopped and no, they don’t.
Yep & you can even end up paying more then when they don't have the 11%.

It's call price checking and you deserve to spend the moron tax. Literally just compare the price to Home Detard and you'd realize how dumb you are.
The sink faucet I bought was $170 at Menards and the same exact one was $400 at home Depot. Charcoal grill I bought at Menards was also 50% cheaper.
Paid Menards Shill posts
The only money Menards pays me to shill for them is the BIG MONEY I save by shopping there.

Stores I wish existed in New England
- Blain's Farm and Fleet
- Fleet Farm
- Countrymax
- Menard's
- Runnings
- Rural King
- Bomgars
- Theisens
- Gemplers
And probably a bunch more I've never heard of
Blain’s is the absolute GOAT.
I hope they stay true with slow expansion and never lose that SOUL
I order from them online sometimes but never seen or been in one. I wish.
I hope that for your sake you one day get to experience a B&M Blain’s, either at Christmastime or planting season.
What state you in anon?
NH. Central part. There's actually a decent number of farms around but a distinct lack of farm/ag stores. I have one good one nearby they're just independently run and a little pricey.
You have Tractor Supply there?
Yeah. It's okay but there's better options with local stores, Agway, some Ace hardware places, etc.
The only things I go to TS for are leather gloves and old tractor parts/fluids
I wish we had Publix up here
Publix is solid but still overrated
The past couple years with Bidenomics, Publix has become nearly impossible to afford for general grocery shopping. The newest stores have Starbuck’s in them and shit, but it’s like $12 for a single package of shitty Oscar Meyer bacon and I can go to Costco and get 4lbs of Kirkland basic or 3lbs of thick cut good stuff for the same money.

Home Depot employees let shop lifting get so bad they had to put anything of value in locked cages.
Hate the music, dislike the website. Just don't shop there.
Bro how they get away with playing "this is my fight song" in a store where men buy things to make aliving is beyond me.
It’s a Walmart with different inventory.
I went to Ace Hardware to get a paint match to do patch work. I brought a sample. The guy asked me a bunch of questions about which product I wanted. I chose a product but then he said he couldn't do the match in that product. Then he ripped the sample in half and wanted me to hold the piece up to their wall of colors to pick one.

I grocery shop at menards
Whenever I here the word nards I'll always be reminded of Monster squad when that kid says "Wolfman's got nards!"
What? Oh it’s a flyover cuck store
AYY CARAMBA!
I have one les as than a mile from my house. I can't justify going somewhere else. The rebates never take long to come back, but I live in WI.
In my area, Menards was the first hardware store to enforce mask rules and the last to take them down. So I stopped going there. Also just about everything they have is, by direct comparison, more expensive than Lowes
