Always on the lookout for a solid bargain, I was really excited to learn about a great source for an even better cause.  Habitat for Humanity has stores all over the country with donated building materials, furniture and cabinets.  The vast majority of the building materials--everything from trim to caulk to hardware is brand new.  That means those of you thinking about redoing a kitchen or bathroom can score brand new cabinets at 50% off retail--with the proceeds going to a great charity.

They also have an ever changing assortment of furniture, too.  Unlike the cabinets or building materials, these items are "pre-owned".  Still, if you're looking for an extra end table or maybe some kitchen chairs, the HFH Restores are definitely worth a look.
