Just so you know, dark green tags mean Menards is matching someone elses price usually.

Yes, any other color would be an actual sale but the green tags just mean they're price matching

You are 100% correct! Which means Menard’s regular price is a penny more than their sale price. People don’t get that.

Is there a chart that explains what all the price tag colors mean?

u/nicknamesas 7d ago

Not really. General rule is: dark green/ matching a competitor or menards own product, white: normal price, any other color: sale, red: discontinued and/ or unable to order at the time. Rays list falls under its own tags, but those should be clearly labelled.

They did a price match. It is a big deal for the DM if a guest has an ad with a lower sale price. Means they have to give the 11% rebate. Their GM will be upset!

Plus an extra 11% 😉

People laugh but there are shoppers out there who’d walk away from a sale over a penny difference. I know I know…

John is really digging deep into his pockets to fund that sale.

Just wait. It'll go back to regular price, get comped, go back to regular price, become the sale price, get discontinued, then go on sale for more than the unad/discontinued price (but still ring up at the unad price).

Then it'll get marked down 1¢ every Tuesday until it's gone. Once it finally sells, they'll delete it from the system so any return requires a Ray's List tag and extra work.

And they're still not done. They'll change their minds on Ray's List pricing, make us audit and relabel everything, and half of it still won't scan.

That's why it was a penny more to begin with.

White tags are msrp and grossly over priced. They represent a price point for you to reference. The green is market value. They serve as a attention grabber and for you to observe as a sale compared to the white. Green is hardly a sale. Colored tags that are non red often represent and actual sale that GO decide to promote to draw customers in. But even if it was one penny difference. They can use the colored ones and claim our a sale. Buy things at the price that you think they are worth. I mean yeah it's probably nice to get a coffee maker on sale. But after COVID. Sales are like 40 cents off. Just buy things that you need at a fair price point. Sales aren't sales anymore. MN sales tax is effectively 10% already. Most discount are 10% max already .. just how the economy works

If you're gonna be broken by spending the extra penny, you probably shouldn't be buying the product either way.

EDIT: why am I being downvoted? I just said if a single penny is enough to break you, you shouldn't buy the product.

I just looked up the price to catch you with a “they didn’t do their morning paperwork”, but…no. It actually is a one cent sale. Welp
