or... "If its too good to be true, it probably is".


Which do I believe?!?!?!?!

It wasn't that great of a deal... Two bucks a piece for #2 SPF 2x4s. I paid almost $7 a piece when I built a house last spring.

$2 is a steal now a days.

I built a deck in the middle of the wood pricing fiasco. $900 for what should have cost $300.

Just keep in mind the price is after rebate and the rebate is in Menards credit. It's OK if you shop there often and have a project to do. Not so much if they are out of the way.
I found that out the hard way redoing my kitchen and was stuck trying to spend the rebate there.
From the fine print..
*Rebates are provided in the form of a Menards® Merchandise Credit Check valid towards purchases at any Menards® retail store. Not valid for purchases on MENARDS.COM®.

I found out about the sale when I went there to get a stack of lumber for my ongoing basement reno, and found them sold out. Guy who put together my order for the other lumber I needed said they had 1400 left when he started his shift.

Around here at Home Depot, 2 x 4 x 8ft Douglas Fir is $2.98, #2 Southern Yellow Pine is $2.85. But i remember it was up to $9 during the "shortage".
What's funny is that the description says:
  • Made of wood for enhanced durability

Up in the NE we’re about $3.35 a stick right now. Way less than they were 6 months ago. Construction is down and lots of inventory to move!
The mills around here are absolutely LOADED with lumber and their log yards are full too. All the fires in the past few years have triggered a ton of salvage logging. With the downturn in housing due to mortgage rates, I'd expect prices to go lower. It just seems like there is WAY too much supply.
