First Time at Menards

[@gaylewatkins4685]

I love that real farmers get their trip Souvenirs from a Hardware Store. 🥰 🤗

[@farmernledell]

Those “shorty fatty” buckets are for more stable cornering in the back of your mini farm truck 😉

[@user-vl5bj6of2s]

Menards is a staple of the Midwest. ❤

[@tess5564]

I grew up going to Menards with my dad and when I would go he would let me pick out a soda and I would get a cream soda and it was one of my favorite things in the world.

“ 🎶 Save Big Money At Menards 🎵🎶 “ Still their tagline - the old guy that used to shout that out on their commercials was the bomb !

[@davyjackson3724]

[@catsmother4556]

[@TheFamilyFarmstead]

Went to Menards for the first time myself this year. Springfield Missouri. It was an experience.

[@AvalonWoodsHomestead]

I had never heard of Menards except through East Coast homesteaders! In Oregon here.

[@badassmother1426]

Should have checked the ads. Some of their sale stuff makes it worth it to us to drive to our Menards which is just outside of our city.

[@SowtheLand]

Next time

[@HeartwayFarms]

Man, I thought you would make your first visit in our hometown 😉 you were only 8 minutes away... Lol 🤣 love our Menards!

[@karinjudge7277]

Welcome to my home state Jason, Lorraine and Penelope !! I was so disappointed when I couldn’t make it to the Murray fest 😢 I love the North Carolina homesteaders ! The Hollers, Art & Bri. 👍🏼 Glad you could see our Menards. Lol Safe travels. 😊

[@karensmith3816]

Menards is amazing!!! I bought so much from them when I built my house! Make sure you go when they are having 11% rebate!! (All lighting in my house was purchased with my rebate funds!! Really adds up.)

[@Benthitchfarm]

We miss Menards and Meijer so much!

[@taze27]

Menards is awesome! One of my go-to hardware stores. They have a fantastic advertisement catalog with some intriguing quotes on the bottom. Love their stuff.

[@rose77778888]

I've been to that Menards! I used to drive for a trucking company out of Ft Dodge.

[@jodyray4913]

So glad you enjoyed our Menards. Welcome to Fort Dodge!

[@beckygreathouse2660]

Love that music. So funny

[@cathysteenson9591]

Seeeee?! Iowa isn’t so boring after all! We knew you’d find something exciting! 😅 ❤

[@lesasoest6875]

Love Menards! We rehab our 1807 farmhouse one rebate at a time!😊

[@terryhenderson424]

Your bucket souvenirs remind me of my mother. We always had some type of a summer family vacation but they were always on a budget which did not include souvenirs....Sometimes she bought the oddest things while on vacation and my adult understanding realized those were things not found back home, were at a super price, or something functional to remember the trip by; in other words basically a souvenir.

[@janthomas2896]

Welcome to Iowa!!!

[@CTR6067]

Ahh, Menard’s. Home away from home in MN. Pick up some lumber and a gallon of milk for your cereal.

[@jtclements]

Master Force is made by Bosch btw. Good stuff.

[@barbc3829]

Love Menards. Prices are often cheaper than Home Depot and you get 11% rebate for each purchase. Love getting that postcard in the mail and using it for another trip to Menards.

[@Abby2269]

[@margaretfiggs2606]

[@lindaann9927]

[@mysticmadman5961]

My wife refuses to go into a Menards. She knows once she goes in....that's it. She only knows what's inside cause I told her..lol

[@foty3rothers859]

Did you grab the mail in rebate card for the 11% off?

[@scotttroestler1810]

My wife probably touched that bucket lol. She works at the main distribution center in Wisconsin.

[@mariowickel456]

[@richardcorcorran8965]

[@kirkmoody6109]

Couldnt habw picked a bette store in such a shitty town lol im a natice iowan

[@jeremysales1232]

Home Depot and Lowe's are better. So is ace hardware.

[@mariowickel456]

My.favorite store Menards Master force tools suck

[@mcldotcom]

WHY? *(MENARDS)* Matters ? Consider this ONE thing. RATIOS of Cost / Savings / Stock on Hand / Value / COMPARED to Places like: LOWES, Home Depot, Tractor Supply, Harbor Freight, Fleet Farm, Walmart, Best Buy, ACE, Etc. Being (ONE) BUTT NOT the Only Option out there. Originally a Construction type Business. WHO NOTICED a GLITCH or HOLE in how Others Did things. Not Always what you are seeing. THEY took what parts of different stores were doing better then others and try to WIN YOUR hard earned dollars by pricing a lot of its items just BELOW what it might cost running around still. Store BRANDS ??? Everybody sells SOME Version of this to limit overhead and COST Mark -Ups to Feed the machine of a retail Down Swing between peek seasons. YOU cannot buy all of what they have at the exact same prices ( ELSE-WHERE ) BUTT what can be done is doing the Lets get it (IF) they have it in stock and not just add on miles, time, ad labor to get the basics taken care of. EXAMPLE of this is when they Added both the food and also the appliance aspect. YOU may be interested in different things *YET* to a price being perceived as more VALUE based ( PULL the TRIGGER ) instead of waiting. This is NOT TOP shelf or Nothing else. They do a business plan of sell what moves and not just stock stuff to take up space to have it (IN CASE) Seasonal, Good Operating hours. Well Lit, Many employees to get you in the proper areas. I DO NTO only shop there. YET, Also Keep them on the radar. HOME DEPOT, ACE, FLEET FARM, and Walmart still are the go to's when it comes to Specific Items. The Guy ( Family ) behind the entire company has been in some hot water over time. Trying to Cut to many corners and also Saying / Doing Stuff Employees and Competition found to be Quite OUT of LINE... LOWES and Home Depot Fight from Much the same Version depending on how close or how far each might be to YOUR exact location still. MY ADVICE: Look at about 3 to 5 different Products, Brands, Pricing and also Availability *BEFORE* Subscribing or Writing any one of these Option off completely . SALES are NOT always what they Claim to be. Just like ONLINE versus Getting it Right Now ( IN PERSON ) Lets get it done and Go back for more all in the same day if Necessary as well ??? TRACTOR SUPPLY, etc, are doing things on a SMALLER Scale as well. SUPER CENTERS ( MEGA Marts ) Discount Whole SALE Warehouses like Sams, Costco, and So Forth ALL have a NITCH in the market. LASTLY ( REMEMBER ) This *IF* nothing else Sticks ? " In the END - It ALL Goes Back to the B E G I N N I N G " NOT Every place is going to have exactly what YOU Want, NEED, Desire, *YET* its Up to YOU how much running around or savings will land up being when Time and Efforts are basically Negated due to LACK of Fully Understanding the PROCESS. A+B=C Get It ???

[@ladysmith3988]

As a kid in the 60's, I've been in the original store west of Eau Claire, Wi. Getting a kick out of you and Ben being intriqued with the store. 😁🔨🔧🗜⛓️
