Menards Deal Thread - FAR, Rebate, and Sale Discussion Thread

Quote from sox005 : I saw some womens Levis boot cut jeans with a shelf(clearance?) price of $8, but no mention of the rebate, and the PDF rebate form doesn't specify what skus qualify. If I purchase a pair, it should print out the rebate receipt, correct? thanks

I would buy them. The rebate will print if they work. If not....do a return right there.

Buy them...if they don't print a rebate receipt then return on the spot. I think they will work.

Edit: My pair says Levi's boot cut Curvey cut 528 upc 039307260350..retail 42.00

Quote from jimmy5 : Hmmmm, actually, I'm in the market for a good pizza cutter. Are you saying this one isn't it?

I got a couple of these a few months back when they were FAR and they are terrible!!! We used 1 and didn't even make it all the way across the pizza once before it broke (on a thin Jack's pizza!), the "cutter" just snapped in half. Junk!

Agree. I definitely don't recommend them for pizza, but the kids like to use them with play-doh.

Quote from SRR1138 : http://www.menards.com/main/home-...-12315.htm That is the couch that I have the questions on, also they have a $399 bonded leather one, leather is just going to get torn to shreds if my dog climbed on it right???

I've had this couch for over a year. It's in our living room and doesn't get much use. It's very firm which I like and seems to be very sturdy. I think I paid $249 after rebate.

Quote from jimmy5 : Thanks, I have one of those types already, free from a trade show. I don't like cleaning it either!

The one I got from Menards the last time they were on rebate comes apart for cleaning. Is that the same as this one?

Quote from knitten2000 : The one I got from Menards the last time they were on rebate comes apart for cleaning. Is that the same as this one?

I don't know. Due to the nature of what they're cutting, and that most pizza cutters are basically wheels with axles & fenders, (for lack of better words), I always run my pizza cutters under the fawcet to clean the pizza goo off right after cutting.

New ads are posted. Free paint brushes again.

The Quaker State full synthetic oil has been working well for me from years past. $3 a quart after rebate is a decent price for synth.

Also, cheapo Peak wiper blades FAR.

Perhaps others have had better experiences, but in mine, those wiper blades...absolute junk. Menards would have to pay me to take them again. Got a pair when they were near-free last summer and they basically fell apart two weeks after I put them on. I think they saw an hour or so of actual wiping and they were shot.

Just a heads up, since us Menards devotees all live in climates where driving with ineffective wipers can be freakin' scary.

100% Agree. AVOID *ANYTHING* sold under the name "PEAK" at Menards.

The wiper blades are horrible. Got them during the B1G1 promo last summer. Wife complained on first use of them, they skip, are very noisy and leave lots on the window. And this was before winter started here. Now, they pretty much just 'brush' the snow off.

Other auto-related PEAK products Menards sells really cheap, such as the garage parking sensors, car defrosters, etc... all have horrendous 1 star ratings over at Amazon for the identical model numbers. (Amazon reviews are your friend )

Yet another example of Meanrds switching to ever lower and lower quality products. Just a few years ago they and Anco (sp?) and one other more popular brand of blades. A continuation of this practice (e.g. dumping Scotch/3M sanding stuff for their china-made self-labeled Performaxx/Masterforce; switching from B+D to Stanley and Zircon for stud sensors, GE to China-made Verilux black light FL tubes, drilled shelf uprights with real plastic melamine coating to just white glossy paper covered particle board) and many other examples.

Simply avoid these low quality brands at Menards; unless 100% FAR, and questionable sometimes for that too.

It's my first time doing this. Question about mailing Menards rebate - I'm stuffing multiple rebates in one envelope. What should my top address line be ? The different rebate forms have the name of the product as the top address line. Can I just address it to one product even though there are other product rebates ? The PO Box and other things are the same.

You can use the top line from any of the rebates you're mailing, so long as, as you note, the PO Box etc. is the same throughout. Which I always double check, even though every rebate I've ever done went to the same PO Box in Elk Mound, WI.

I don't think it matters. The post office just looks at the zip code and the p.o. box number and delivers it.

That being said, I usually just take 1 word from each rebate item that I am submitting for. So for example this week I will address it to: Paint Brush, Pencil, Pizza, Nasal

I never have any problem with the Menards rebates and I've been doing it this way for years.
