Habitat ReStores
Never stepped foot in a Habitat ReStore, which sells used and surplus building materials. But my wife's grandfather swears on it regarding saving a wad of dough on building supplies.
He had all the kitchen cabinets and drawers outfitted with gold-color knobs he bought at a Restore near their newly purchased condo. in Sunset Beach (there are stores throughout N.C. including one in Greensboro).
A handyman, Ralph also bought some other materials from Restore he used for some interior work. He said he did some comparison shopping and figured he saved hundreds of dollars when all was said and done. Granted, there may some minor blemishes or the colors may not be exactly right, but the money you save can't be beat, he said.
