Rather than just saving for a wedding, it’s important to also make a strategy to reduce costs. It’s no secret that weddings can get expensive very quickly.

The meat counter is the length of a football field, and the tortilleria churns through so much corn, this Mi Tienda has its own freaking silo, one capable of storing 18 tons of maize. Here's the thing: At 97,000 square feet, it's double the size of the Pasadena store and has a selection to match beyond its festive mango exterior and Saltillo-tiled portals. Like its predecessor, the Northside Mi Tienda features a tortilleria, a carniceria and an aguas frescas bar, not to mention every spice, fruit, vegetable, queso and edible cactus from Tegucigalpa to Nuevo Laredo, all available at rock-bottom Walmart prices. Last year's winner was the South Houston/Pasadena location of their Mexican/Central American supermarket this year's gran campeón is the Northside behemoth that opened last December and made the first one look like a mere bodega by comparison. Don't forget networking: We found an excellent carpenter, James Montgomery, who's one of the volunteers at the store. ReStore customers are giving to a greater cause, as Habitat is able to build an average of one house from the monthly sales at each retail outlet. Some companies, such as Lowe's, donate discontinued items such as wood cabinetry - three finishes, including a scrumptious cherry, are available - for the cost of unfinished wood from most dealers. ReStore buys at a low cost from, for example, vendors for flooring materials such as laminate and tile, and adds a modest markup. But the inventory is "not just torn out of a house," Goodson says. When Habitat picks up donations from people's homes, ReStore is where it lands. If you are smitten with the perfect set of sconces or French doors or bathroom vanity or just about anything in this warehouse, you'd better snap it up: "About one half of the donated inventory moves in about a month," says staffer Mark Goodson. ![]()
