LOL, but in all seriousness, this is a hell of a deal and more than $100 off. Home Depot selling 8 foot studs for $3.35 right now, and when you "spend" the Menards rebate, you don't pay sales tax on the part of the purchase made with rebate check. So in my mind, this is about $143 off of $343 worth of studs.
And in my experience, you should only have to check about 20 in the pile to find one even remotely straight!

In my area, Home Depot's and Lowe's prices are always higher than Menards. (Wisconsin. Menards home state) And good luck finding a straight board at Home Depot.

That makes sense, it's probably regional & the result of increased competition in my area. Menard's was the hardware store go-to when I lived in WI for a few years, but they haven't been in OH very long. Granted, I was much more excited to see Culver's open in NE OH.

Chances are, if you are shopping at Menards and buying lumber, it's not the last time you are going to shop at Menards [this week] lol.

Spot on. For me Menards rebates are treated as money and entered into the home improvement fund as a positive in the monthly budget. I actually even just convert those stupid visa gift cards to Menards gift cards so I don't have to deal tracking the balance on the Visa cards.

As an engineer, the title is throwing me off. Should be 2" x 4" x 8', not 2ft x 4ft x 8ft. If it was, it'll be the deal of the century. I knew what the OP meant, but it threw me off on first glance. Still a great deal and I could use some but no Menards near me.
As an engineer and builder, your post isn't throwing me off - but it's also incorrect. It should be 2x4x8'. The name for the dimension is 2x4, and not the units in inches.

Rather silly the big box stores were sued over this and now are much more careful.

Quote from ph7 :
My experience is the opposite. I always buy my lumber from lumber yards, as the quality is better (and the service is 10x better - drive your truck right up to loading). I will buy lumber from HD if I have to (say, for a weekend project), and pick through the stack to find the decent boards. Some time I get lucky and find quality lumber.
There's two problems with big box wood, and the lesser quality over lumber yards is not it. First, stores like Menards sell a ton of wood, and they often have very new wood which is still wet - so when it's unbranded, it twists naturally quite quickly.

Second, they have a bunch of DIYers who anally pick through the boards to find only "perfectly straight" boards, leaving the stack a mess and only going to twist worse. Once they get them home they put them on their damp garage floor only for them to end up much the same as boards they passed by.

Lumber yards often have the same or similar quality - but with higher prices the yahoos stay out and the service is usually much better, so the stacks are better kept and stay straighter.

Yes I'm well aware that 2x4's don't actually measure 2" x 4" anymore. It's referring to their NOMINAL dimension and not the actual dimension. Long time ago it actually was 2" x 4" but not anymore.

Quote from James Mason :
Is this the yellow Pine wood form the South pine tress, like Home Depot, or the better white wood from Canada that most Lowes have.?
This is "whitewood" which typically refers to spruce, pine and fir. Not a single species.

Home Depot and Lowes also sell primarily white wood for framing/construction lumber.

Southern yellow pine is way stronger and a higher quality wood than whitewood. You have it backwards.

Why are you making things up?

The only real truth in the above statement is they cannot be applied to online orders.

1) You NEVER have had to use the entire rebate at once, never have. You can use multiple partial used ones if needed as well against a single purchase.

2) It is nearly as good as cash, with only a couple reasonable restrictions such as you can't convert them to gift cards. Same for any other store credit rules at any other store. (This is to prevent rebate fraud where people send rebates to fake names/addresses and try to consolidate them or resell them as the checks are printed with your name and address.)

3) You also save your tax rate by using them. $100 in rebated purchases at your normal (say 7%) tax gets you $100 credit check. Buy another $100 worth of items (further rebated or not) with that check and you owe literally - nothing as they deduct the $100 from your SUBTOTAL before they calculate tax on purchases using them. That's a 7% average additional savings for most states.

I mean you paid the tax on the full amount when you made the first purchase, there's not an additional tax "savings"
