The shower tile spacers at my local Habitat ReStore blew my mind

I was digging through the bins at the ReStore last weekend in Cleveland and found an unopened 500-pack of 1/8 inch tile spacers for $2. I looked it up on my phone and the same bag goes for about $12 at Lowe's. I grabbed three of them because I'm about to start tiling my guest bathroom floor. It got me thinking how much money you can save on small stuff if you just check the ReStore first. Has anyone else found random renovation supplies way cheaper there?

$2 for 500 spacers is insane, I found a brand new toilet for $15 there once.

Wait did they really have a TOILET for fifteen bucks? That's absolutely wild, bet that thing was gone in like five minutes though. I actually found a like-new bathroom vanity at a Restore once for twenty dollars and it was solid oak with a granite top. The lady who runs our local Habitat says they get all kinds of weird stuff from contractor overstock and people who just don't want to deal with hauling things away. Makes me wonder what other random gems people have stumbled on in those places, like I bet somebody out there has found a full set of kitchen cabinets for like fifty bucks.
