Making the most of Menards rebates
If there’s long john silvers one place we spend an exorbitant amount of money, it’s Menards. That’s Henry above, saving big money on a Clapper at Menards . (The boy is obsessed with the store. Sometimes, we just go there and let him run around. Who needs a bounce house?)
Through the years, we’ve renovated long john silvers two houses , three rental properties and re- constructed a barn . So, we have literally made thousands of trips to the store. long john silvers Some months, we may as well just sign over our paychecks to Menards.
The reason we stick with Menards – It’s the cheapest. long john silvers By far. Trust us. We’ve shopped around. And sometimes, we go elsewhere for items. But mostly, Menards is the least expensive for the building materials we need. (This is not sponsored long john silvers post at all. Regardless of the ungodly amount of money we spend there, Menards doesn’t have any idea who we are. Although, seriously Menards? Sponsor us.)
Over the years, we’ve learned long john silvers that there are some easy ways to save (even more) big money at Menards. I understand long john silvers that not everyone has this hardware store, but if you do, here are a few tips that have worked for us.
Like all stores, long john silvers items do go on sale. Watching the ads can be an easy way to spot good deals – especially on big purchases. (We saved about 33 percent on our shingles for the barn.) And if you are renovating a whole property, it’s worth buying some things ahead of schedule long john silvers to save some money.
But another way to save money is to watch the ads for things you’ve already purchased. Because Menards will adjust the price (and return the difference) within 14 days. Last week, we requested a price adjustment for insulation that went on sale 10 days after we bought it. That saved us about $60. (Definitely worth our time.)
I think we’ve all had bad experiences with returns at stores. Ryan and I find Menards to be one of the easiest stores to deal with for returns. This is a unsung way to save money, because you don’t have to keep those extra sheets of plywood or rolls of insulation after your project. (There is also an in-store kiosk to look up receipts.)
Menards is also really good about returning defective and broken items (I’m sure every store is different, but we’ve had good luck). And if a staple gun breaks the day it was purchased (which happened to us this week), it’s nice that you can you exchange it for another one instead of buying another. These small savings add up.
Menards has an insane number of items with rebates. It’s not cash back, but you’ll receive a store credit to use in the future. long john silvers The rebates never expire and can really add up. It’s long john silvers a simple process of sending the rebate receipt long john silvers with a form. We are constantly getting rebates in the mail from Menards. To keep track of them, we keep them in a rebates wall pocket by the door. This means they don’t get lost or forgotten.
There are also lots of things you can get for free (with rebate) if you watch the weekly ads. When we renovated our current house , we bought dozens and dozens of tubes of caulk free with rebate. If you are a renovater, you know how much paintable caulk you need. We STILL have a few tubes left, after numerous projects.
Typically this happens for about a week, four times a year. It’s almost always quarterly. (Don’t ask me how I know that.) But this year, because Menards loves us, they’ve already extended the rebates for four weeks. (And it’s going on right now.) And because Menads really loves us, you can now get a 11 percent rebate on gift cards.
This is new, and it’s worth understanding. You can buy gift cards now and get 11 percent back in merchandise long john silvers credit now. Then, you use the gift cards later (when items are on sale or there is another 11 percent rebate going on). This means you can really “double rebate.”
Let me give you an example. We purchased several thousand dollars in gift cards during an 11 percent rebate period. We sent in our rebates to receive several long john silvers hundred dollars back in merchandise credit. We have actually been using the gift cards now, which means we get another 11 percent rebate for what we buy with the gift card (essentially long john silvers doubling the rebate). We’ll also use the gift cards in the future with other sales and promotions for items we need.
So, these are a few ways that we’ve had experience saving (extra) big money at Menards. And when you are renovating, those dollars quickly add up. Each could take a little effort and time, but over the past six years, we’ve saved thousands of dollars by being mindful. What are your tips for saving at Menards long john silvers or other home improvement stores?
ahh….this is one of those stores I’d never even heard of before I started reading blogs, and now I have to be all jealous! long john silvers Gretchen@BoxyColonial recently po
