Habitat for Humanity Restore

I was shopping at the Dorcas’ thrift shop next door and was so disappointed in the options available. I was on the hunt for a sofa… a Clean, Modern, Sofa that was relatively small front to back because, well, my other sofa didn’t fit through the front door. I looked at every thrift shop in town and only the options at ’cause for paws’ were halfway what I wanted…
…that is, until I wandered down the sidewalk to a place that looked more like a discount ‘home depot’ than your average thrift shop. There were ceiling fans and old doors and windows outside this place and it caught my attention, I thought it might be fun to look inside. We all probably know that habitat for humanity builds homes for people in need, so I figured this is where they sell their old building supplies. Well that’s partially true!
You can buy doors, windows, lumber, paint, and counter-​tops here. You can also find sink fixtures and light fixtures here. But more importantly, this little gem has everything major you would need for «home». Those items that you usually want to buy off Craigslist for cheaper but don’t want to drive all over heck and back to go get? They sell them all here! Refrigerators, dishwashers, china hutches, bunk beds, fake plants… you name it! It’s like a one-​stop-​shop for on-​the-​cheap everything that would normally cost top dollar.
The best part is that everything here is stuff you would actually want in your house. Black appliances, granite counter-​tops that someone ordered in a color they didn’t like but are brand new, real wood furniture. I know it can be a huge turn off to shop at a thrift shop, but when you come to this place you will see the light at the end of the tunnel. This is the thrift shop of thrift shops.
Ultimately I paid $ 80 for my sofa and gosh, it looks better than the granny sofas at all the other places that were priced around $ 150.
