Some people are like a Slinky. Not really good for anything but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Its always fun when you have a huge rebate voucher that you can use a number of times. Some of the looks from cashiers are priceless. I had one this spring that was almost $500.....kinda shocking they dont get stolen from the mail.

Sadly the closest Menard's is 45 minutes away, doesn't matter if I go east or west, same distance.

I'm not sure how the Illinois sales tax law is written, but in Ohio if you use the Menard's rebate card, that part of the purchase isn't taxed (at redemption). If it's similar in IL, you may get that tax back as well. I know a lot of folks think the Menards rebates are a gimmick. Maybe they are, but i use the chit out of 'em. I don't send them in until the last minute and stuff as many as I have in the envelope.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

If you fill out the Menards rebates online you only have fill out your information once for all the rebate slips you plan to print.

Loves me some Menards. uh huh.......
Rebates, 11%, lower prices, same or better stuff, mostly knowledgeable people (meaning they know in the store where what I am looking for is located). Plywood, order it delivered when it's 11% and see if it isn't the best looking stuff you have seen. $49.00 I have it delivered. Those little semi/forklifts can set it right inside my barn, most current stack was 87 sheets. Ahhhh, not to have to lift all of those sheets, plus ordering it, and having it delivered it NEVER goes into the store, where the wood wrecking Gremlins reside
Bummer that the parking lot is always crowded, and you have to walk so far to get in, Bwahhhhhhh, not like Lowes and HD where you can practically park inside the store

Rough life.
Last time I looked, the closest Menards is in Ohio. Something like a 10hr drive each way.

Yeah same here. I tried to have a 4x4 piece of ply delivered from US the other day and they wanted $88 delivery fee.

Cheap casters for zero dollars. They're easily worth double that.
