Menards: Finally a Coupon Policy!

by admin on October 18, 2011

Hey all you Menards shoppers…..drum roll please…..Menard’s finally has a coupon policy, and boy is it “thorough”!

Menard’s has some awesome deals which I post here often. Those deals are even better when you use a coupon however many Menard’s are not exactly “coupon friendly”. I’m lucky and mine is! You may want to print and bring along the next time you shop at Menards.

Here is a link to their new coupon policy —>

Kudos for this inclusion:

“Limit one coupon per purchase.” This means that one coupon can be accepted per item, not transaction. “

I don’t know about you but if I had a dime for every time I had to explain to a cashier that it means per item not transaction I’d be able to buy me a nice Steak dinner!

I also like the fact that we can use competitors coupons within their guidelines, might make for some good deals!
