Menards Shopping

June 1st, 2020 at 04:01 am

One of the items on the summer to-do list was paint the mailbox. I thought I had leftover spray paint downstairs, but it was nearly empty. And I'd been meaning to drop off some old tables at Habitat once they re-opened so DD and I had a surprisingly good outing on Saturday.

We dropped the furniture off curbside at a Habitat site, then headed for Menards. I normally dislike Menards and all those big home stores, but we did very well. They were requiring masks and restricting entrance to adults, as well as enforcing good distance guidelines. We bought a much-needed specialty light bulb, the spray paint, dog treats--and oddly enough--baking powder, fettuccini and peanut butter in their much-expanded grocery section. On our way out, I spotted herbs in their garden center so picked up the thyme I'd wanted. It was amazingly easy, and I'm glad we could fill in some needs.

That $30 was all we spent all weekend. Who knew shopping at Menards could be so good?

    Menards is interesting in that way. We don't have them in the South, so I kind of miss them. Glad it was a good day. I dread going to stores now, the rules are constantly changing. I know of a young single mother who was denied access to Walmart because she had her toddler with her! Feels like discrimination to me. Because who do they think is to care for that child when we are to be staying apart. Grandparents? Another family? What if she needed something last minute that she couldn't wait for pickup or other services. She actually was there to simply do a pickup, and luckily was helped by another customer. It's interesting times.

    My cousin always preferred to do most of her grocery shopping at Menard's. I used to shop there a lot myself when I was fixing up my house to sell. Now I am not very close to one, but I do like them!

    CCF--I think the issue is probably kids running all around. If the toddler was in the shopping cart, it would seem reasonable to allow that.

    There is simply room for improvement, so many imbalances that forget that we all have unique circumstances.
