Ok, just a quick blurb here about a budget friendly find on some hardware. I stopped at Target to see if they had any coat hooks for the next rack I am working on for a friend and found a few that were on clearance in their Home Improvement section. I then started looking around that section more.
I was able to find a multi-pack of brush nickel drawer handles and also drawer pulls for around $4 on clearance as well as misc other hardware for as low as $0.24.
I have no immediate use for this hardware but I am still planning to make those cabinet doors as well as other things for my shop and around the house and could not beat the price. Just have to figure out where I am going to store these things now but I’ll figure something out or maybe build it.
Not your avarage place to look for woodworking supplies but they occasionally have some suprising things on clearance. I won’t mention the copper fire bowl I got a couple years ago $15. :)
If anyone else knows a good store to look for clearance items such as this please let me know.

You are so lucky to get a place where clearance sale was in progress. It is good to take such opportunity to
buy certain items which are not meant for immediate use but in the corner of your mind you know that they are going to be useful. It has happened many times in my case and I have been blamed for storing excess of things. But when later on they were put to use all praise came to me. You can always find some place to store. Hope you will use them in the near future and let us know how u have used them. Best luck.

Ebay. I got all the brushed nickel knobs for the last two houses I built from a store on ebay. About 150 knobs total. 0.99 each! Similiar knobs sold at Home Depot for between 3 and 6 bucks.

When I go shopping, before I leave the store I always walk around looking for those unadvertised hiden tresures.

I Love Target! My wife worked at one several years ago and I learned about their sale items being placed on the “end caps.” Now every time I walk into any store: Target, one of the Marts or any of the home improvement stores, the first place I look is the end caps. This is where all teh clearance items are hiding!
