As frugal homeowners, we try not to spend all of our money for home improvement projects at the home improvement warehouses. We also like to reuse materials when we can. That is where the Restore comes in. It is both a thrift store for items donated to Habitat for Humanity by individuals, as well as a place where Habitat for Humanity can sell items used on builds that are leftover or items that have been donated in large quantities.
Unlike other hardware stores, you do not always know what they will have in stock. You also need to make sure you know your exact measurements as they do not do returns.
The store is pretty large, and they have items from gently used furniture, to brand new toilets and sinks. They also have gardening supplies and will occasionally have used tools.
Today was a 50% off sale, and we were able to get some items that were new at costs less than 1/4 what we would pay elsewhere ( $.25 paintbrushes anyone?)
The Restore is a great place to find home improvement supplies while supporting a good cause. There is also a location on the east side of LV off of Flamingo & Pecos.
