We are always sharing was to save money - "Re-Store"

[buc]

I am wondering how many people have heard of these stores and how many of you have used them like I have?

http://www.habitat.org/env/restores.aspx

They get surplus (new) items off all kinds from new tools (I bought two of these and gave one as a gift for $4 each) http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00973565000P?vName=Tools&cName=HandTools,GeneralPurpose&sName=Pliers&sid=I0084400010000100600&aff=Y


And I buy all sorts of nails and screws from them and huge savings.

We have one near us, but I've never gone in there (although I've thought about it). They have very strange hours, so you really have to plan to work it into your schedule if you want to go to the one near us.

We go to our local Habitat one. It's not very big but I have coem across a couple of great buys.

The Re-store is a great place! Have found doors and cabinets at incredible prices, and a friend pretty much re-did her entire kitchen (except for stove/refer) and bathroom from stuff she bought there. And, it goes to support a very worthy cause - one of my favorite non-profits (next to the one I work for!). If you have one nearby, I strongly encourage you to stop by to see what they have. They are always getting new stuff, so go by regularly. Thanks, buc, for mentioning this great resource!

I would highly recommend you take the time to go in and browse, heck I take a list of things I need around the ranch and go there about twice a month as there inventory changes every so often.

I've never seen one of those stores in my area. What a great idea though! I'll have to keep my eyes open to see if I can find one close to me.

they have a really nice one in murfreesboro, and we got new sinks for both bathrooms for less than $25.00. My DD bought all her paint there marrie

I stumbled upon the one here in Amarillo last week and was wondering what it was.

Thanks for sharing. A new place to shop!! And for such a great cause!
