You are probably SOL on this deal unless there is a Menards near you.
Menards is a home improvement store common in the Midwest. You will only get the best price if you drive to the store and take it off the shelf. Use the
Inventory Checker [menards.com] to see if there is a Menard's near you that has them in stock.
- For the best price, walk in and buy off the shelf. Online ordering with pickup, delivery, or shipping is available, but it costs extra.
- 11% rebate is in Menard's store credit, not cash. It's 18.5 cents a pod even without the rebate, so a spectacular deal even without it.
- No limit - buy as many boxes as you want. My local store has over 200 on the shelf.
- My two crates have an expiration date of 6/2/25. Since Menard's says this a clearance deal, I'm thinking they are probably all around that.
My Review:
If you are a coffee snob, you won't like these. If you just want a cup of joe, they are just fine.
I have personally bought 200 of these pods and drank nearly 100 of them. I am considering buying more. They are basically what you would expect, a generic medium roast. Not the highest quality, a little weak, but not bitter or nasty. I haven't had any pod-quality issues like leaks or blowouts.
The main photo was brewed in my K-Express machine at the 8-oz setting recommended on the package into a clear glass so you can judge darkness. Adjusted to make it look about right - for comparison, the backdrop is generic white paper towel. I tweaked the white balance to try and make the image as "true" as I could, but I'm no photo-retouching expert. Personally I think it looks a little lighter in real life than in the photo, but the towel looks right, and I don't know how to fix the glass reflection of the tablecloth.

If you were to actually do that, I'd recommend an online order for pickup. The pikers will charge you a small fee (which I think is ridiculous for a pickup order), but at least you would be guaranteed they'll be there when you get there.
Also, love the cat avatar.
My local Menards has 124 in stock.
Good thing - I've almost made it through my second case of 100.
