If you like bargain hunting, reusing materials, and supporting a great charity at the same time, you should check out the Habitat for Humanity ReStore.
I discovered the ReStore on Winchester Rd. when I lived in Memphis. Now in Austin, I frequent the store here, which happens to be the first location in the country. The store carries new and used building and household materials, which have been donated by businesses and individuals. The proceeds are used to fund the construction of Habitat houses within the community.

The constantly changing items in stock include paint, windows, doors, cabinets, flooring, tiles, scrap wood, everything but the kitchen sink...oh wait, they have those, too.
The location in Austin is currently in East Austin at 4th and Comal, but they are soon moving to South First at Ben White.
There are lots of locations across the country now, so you can see if there's one in your town here:
