7 Menards Home Items That Cost Less Than You’d Expect

If you aren’t shopping at Menards for home items, you are missing out. Like Home Depot and Lowe’s, the superstore is best known for selling home improvement and outdoor items, ranging from wood and plants to lawn mowers and paint. However, it also sells a wide range of home items at low prices, including cozy blankets, organizing must-haves, and kitchen gadgets. What is on major sale this week? Here are 7 Menards home items that cost less than you’d expect.

I am determined to get more organized after the holidays. These 20-Gallon Green with Red Lid Christmas Storage Totes make it easy to keep your holiday decorations together in the basement, attic, or garage. Get the bins for $3.99 after a $3 mail in rebate.

It keeps food hot until served.
