I am not sure how they come up with their merchandise, but our local Goodwill store had a bunch of hardware items at 99¢ per pack. I bought a few items and thought that was that.
Then came building a wall in the greenhouse to keep the chickens to one end and away from all the plants they find so delicious.
Some hinges were needed for a door. We went back and I picked through the hardware bin and ended up buying about $50 worth of hinges and stuff. Should last a lifetime, but maybe not.
Later we went by Home Depot and I pointed out one hinge like some we bought to my wife. It was priced at $4.99. She just smiled. I recently bought a bunch of hinges for an accordion door I built and they were $2.98 a pair. Picked up a few more of those for use in the future.
I am not sure if this is available at any other Goodwill, but a few had price stickers indicating they came from Menards. I think their store closest to us is in Casper, Wyoming.
