| - If there were an award for "best place to get all your new apartment essentials for under $300 that isn't Ikea" this place would get it, hands down.
Here's the skinny on this, the most popular of Charlotte's Re-Stores.
They restock daily, but the best day to go is Tuesday, as they're putting out the stuffs they got over their weekend (which is Sun-Mon, on which they are closed). Awesome stuff vanishes quickly from here, but also appears often, so keep an eye out.
I don't really get the pricing system here, but there's always a deal to be had. Sometimes old couches are $100 - sometimes five times that. Housewares selection leaves something to be desired, but the building materials and random overstock kitchen, bathroom, whatever items are extremely reasonably priced and various. The last time I went in, they had a wall of cheap toasters for sale at $20 each (and not dinky stick yer toast in the top toasters, broiler toasters, woo).
The location makes it super easy to stop in and try to get a deal on a new window, door, siding, etc before heading to the Home Depot across the street, which is awesome. The staff are rad, and Julia's Coffee is next store, so you can literally spend an entire afternoon stumbling around, drinking a coffee, trying out lay-z-boys, reading books, staring at light fixtures, etc. Fun fun.
