Last week, we told you about a new Habitat for Humanity 'Restore' that opened in Searcy.

But you don't have to drive to White County to get good deals right here in central Arkansas.

In this protecting your pocketbook report....

There's a restore in North Little Rock at 2657 Pike Ave. that’s chalk full of home appliances and fixtures to outfit your home.

The Pulaski County Habitat for Humanity runs the store and the donated items sold at ReStore help support Habitat's home building program. The first time I saw the store was 10 years ago and I've been a regular customer. She's real agreeable on the prices. It's not like your big box stores." Phillip Werner said.

And the restore is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 9-5 p.m.
