Questions/Answers about Menard's Sales When can I expect new ads to come out (what is their flyer schedule)While Menards used to be 100% predictable on their schedule they have significantly varied things up in the last year, however a few key pieces remain true: 2-week (15 day) Sun-Sun "General": Most common -- starting on a Sunday and running for 2 weeks and ending the end of day on Sunday 2 weeks later, thus 15 full sale days. 1-week (8 day) Sun-Sun "General": Staggered with this, they typically offer an 8 day, starting on a Sunday and running for 1 week and ending the end of day on Sunday 1 week later, thus 8 full sale days.
This sale starts exactly 7 days after the 2 week one starts and ends on the same day the 2 week one ends, thus giving 2 sales overlapping. This 1 week staggered/overlapped sale has occassionally been a 15 day sale depending on when they need to adjust due to holidays and other sale promotions in the future. All of these sales are "general" sales, meaning products from virtually every department are offered on sale. However, they give the sale a name and therefore some departments are skewed to have more items featured. Such flyer names include "Construction", "Stock up", "Menard Days" and they reuse these every year or multiple times a year. 1 1/2-week (11 day) Wed-Sun "Themed": In addition to these "normal" sales, they will often (typically once a month) overlap a 11 day sale starting on a Wedsday and running though the following Sunday. These are always department-specific sales such as "Kitchen/Bath", "Landscaping", "Storage", "Garage", "Flooring". 3 day (Fri/Sat/Sun) "Crazy Day": About once every 2 months they run a 3-day weekend "Crazy Days" sale.
These run on a Fri/Sat/Sun and also overlap up to 3 other sales. These sales typically offer some really good after rebate prices on things and the deals are normally larger (e.g. more expensive but with big rebates). 1-week (8 day) Sun-Sun "11% Off Entire Purchase Rebate": Completely randomly handful of times a year they run a 11% off entire purchase sale. Except for 1 occassion, these have always been 8 day sales (Sun-Sun). These do NOT overlap any other sale during the week, BUT do overlap on the start and end date(s) which allow you to actually make money on rebate items as the 11% is a stackable rebate. Why do some posters refer to getting sale items earlier than the official start date?Because Menards is located in the upper midwest, and relies on local newspapers or even "mid week" style home town papers to distribute their ads, they sometimes run into places that don't have a paper delivery on a Sunday, or have chosen to send out their ad (perhaps for cheaper rates) in a Saturday paper.
Due to this, many stores will 'set' the ad late Friday night/early Saturday morning and their computer is loaded with the prices+rebates as soon as they open Saturday morning. I have personally confirmed this in all 4 North Dakota Stores (Minot/Bismarck/Grand Forks/Fargo), and many Minnesota stores (Moorhead, Detroit Lakes, Hutchinson, Mankato). In fact, I've seen the ad loaded and set in Mankato on Friday evening's before It often varies if the physical paper ad is set by the front doors or on the C/S counter however. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't but you will usally see the new colored signs (one color for each sale ad to aid them in setting/removal of tags at the end of a sale). Peek around by the department stations and sometimes you can spot the new but not readily available ad sitting around if you don't see it up front. Questions/Answers about Menard's Rebates Menards rebate credit checks do NOT expire Where do I find the rebate forms?After purchasing your items, the receipt will print separate rebate receipt copies, one specifically for each qualifying item
Rebate receipts are numbered, and the corresponding numbered rebate forms are available at the service desk or available online Menards website A summary of all rebate numbers will appear on the bottom of your "master" receipt Rebate receipts MUST be turned over when returning an item with a rebate; otherwise they will deduct the amount of the rebate from your refund with no exceptions (obviously) Can you use Menard's rebates to buy other products that have Menard's rebates?Yes, there is no problem with rinsing and repeating How often are there Free After Rebate (FAR) items?They do FAR all the time, usually anywhere from four to ten items per ad each week Can rebates be combined into one envelope?Most rebates can be combined into one address, provided they are being sent to the same address (Typically Box 155 in Elk Mound, WI) Some rebates are sent to different address - double check Make sure you have adequate postage when combining (8 rebate forms + 8 rebate receipts + standard envelope + stamp total appx .6 ounce)
Do I still need to spend $10 or more on other non-FAR items?Mendard did away with this requirement in early 2011 Can you track your rebates? Questions/Answers about Menard's Price Match/Coupon policy Does Menards match prices?Yes, bring in the sales ad and receive an additional 11% discount, however YMMV depending on the terms of the competetor's sale. Typically "% off" sales can be troublesome. Does Menards accept coupons?Yes, although internet printables are not accepted at some locations They do not accept "free" product coupons Where do I find the Items in the store? Look at the first number of the SKU...Here's where you can find them:1 - Lumber/Building Materials 3 - Electrical/Lighting Supplies 5 - Painting Supplies Link to this Wiki Before you begin shopping for new cabinetry hardware, be aware of your project timeline. Some special order pieces require seven days for delivery.If you are choosing new cabinetry, it’s a good idea to take a sample of your finish directly to the hardware department and select new knobs or pulls on the same day.
This allows plenty of time in your schedule to get the hardware you really want. Understanding Types of Cabinet Hardware Knobs are handles mounted to the exterior of doors and drawers with a single screw and bolt. Some knobs have screws built-in and are easier to install than ones with separate screws. Knobs look great when used with a back plate or alone. Pulls serve the same function as knobs but occupy more space – which means more impact on the appearance of the cabinet. A back plate is a piece of finished metal that rests between the door and hardware. Back plates help protect the cabinet’s surface, cover existing holes in the cabinetry or to enhance decorative hardware. Cabinet door catches are meant for doors without self-closing hinges to keep cabinet doors secure against the frame. Hinges attach the cabinet door to the frame. The number of hinges you need depends on the height and weight of the door. Use two hinges for doors less than 40 inches high and less than 11 pounds.
Use three hinges for doors 40-60 inches high and 13-20 pounds. Use four hinges for doors 60-80 inches high and 29-33 pounds. Use five hinges for doors 80-85 inches high and 40-48 pounds. Good to KnowHinges are specified for use on left- or right-hand doors. Some are specified for use with framed or frameless cabinetry. If you’re not sure what you have, snap several pictures or take a sample with you for shopping accuracy. Two types of hinge installations are available: Mortise hinges are permanent installation hinges. The areas inside the cabinet door and frame have cutouts to attach the hinges. Non-mortise hinges do not require placement into the cabinetry. These hinges simply fasten with screws. Hinges are composed of four parts: Frame wing – attaches to the frame Door wing – attaches to the door Knuckle – connects the frame wing and door wing Pin – holds the hinge together Fully concealed – only the surface of the door is outwardly visible, orSemi-concealed – only the knuckle is visible.
Good to KnowUse semi-concealed hinges for inset doors. European or frameless hinges are the most popular choice for full-overlay and inset doors, although they are usable on face-frame cabinets as well. They offer ease in installation and can easily support heavier doors. European hinges adjust to align and level cabinet doors.European Overlay hinges work on frameless cabinet doors with half-overlay doors. They may also work on face-frame cabinet doors that overlap the frame. Variable Overlay hinges work on doors that completely overlay the frame and do not have a cut out on the back.Partial Wraparound hinges have a large surface area that improves stability on flush, inset or overlay doors.3/8-inch Inset hinges work on doors that overlay the frame and have a cut out on the back edge.H-style hinges look like the letter “H”. One side attaches to the frame and the other attaches to the flush mount door. 3/8-inch Offset H Hinges 3/8-inch Offset H hinges provide support and smooth operation for offset doors.
Butterfly hinges are for use on flush doors. Each wing mounts to the outside surfaces of the cabinet door and frame. T-style hinges look like the letter “T” with the vertical piece attaching to the doorframe and the horizontal piece attaching to the door. Full-Inset Pin hinges (or butt hinges) are for doors completely flush with the face of the cabinet. These hinges mount recessed or work surface-mounted on face frame cabinets. Good to KnowTake a sample of your current knobs, pulls and hinges to the store when shopping for replacements. This ensures you find the perfect fit. To secure cabinet doors without self-closing hinges, consider a catch. Friction catches have a male part and a female part that work with a spring tensioner to provide a secure grasp on the door.If small children are in the home, be sure to explore safety catches and other accessories to keep your kitchen secure. Magnetic catches are the most widely used catch and work with a metal plate mounted on the cabinet door that adheres to a magnet mounted on the frame.
Spring Roller Touch Catches Spring Roller Touch catches have one or two rollers set close together on the cabinet frame and a catch mounted on the door, closing when the rollers hook on the strike plate. Drawer slides are available in light, medium and heavy designations depending on the weight of your drawer. Keep in mind that side-mount hardware is more durable than a monorail, or center-bottom-mount slide. Bearings and rollers create a smoother motion, while full-extension slides are perfect for providing access to every inch of the drawer. Before shopping for drawer slides, you must know the slide length and drawer length needed. Mini Ball-Bearing Drawer Slide Mini ball-bearing drawer slides may require a ¼-inch mortise in the drawer side for installation. Drawer stops are available. European-Style Self-Closing Side-Mount Drawer Slides European-style self-closing side-mount drawer slides have a stop to prevent drawers from sliding out completely.
