Menard’s home improvement store’s flyer reads: Valid April 21, 2019 - May 05, 2019 They always come out with a new flyer on Sundays so the next items will be on sale from May 05 - May 19. Will I still receive the sale price on an item from the 4/21-5/5 flyer?

> While Menards used to be 100% predictable on their schedule they have significantly varied things up in the last year, however a few key pieces remain true:  
> 2-week (15 day) Sun-Sun “General”: Most common – starting on a Sunday and running for 2 weeks and ending the end of day on Sunday 2 weeks later,\*\* thus 15 full sale days.\*\*  
> 1-week (8 day) Sun-Sun “General”: Staggered with this, they typically offer an 8 day, starting on a Sunday and running for 1 week and ending the end of day on Sunday 1 week later, **thus 8 full sale days**. This sale starts exactly 7 days after the 2 week one starts and ends on the same day the 2 week one ends, thus giving 2 sales overlapping.

Okay! Looks like I’m gonna _save big money at Mena-a-a-ard’s_ (FYI - that’s their annoying jingle) Thanks **PT**.
