TIL that my local lumberyard sells shorts and culls for 50% off...

I was at Builders Supply in Tulsa last weekend picking up some 2x4s for a shed frame. I overheard a guy ask the yard manager about "shorts and culls" and he pointed to a big bin. Turns out they sell leftover cuts and slightly warped boards for half the regular price. I grabbed a stack of 4-foot 2x6s for like $1.50 each. I've been throwing away scraps from my cuts for years and never knew this was a thing. Has anyone else found hidden deals at their local yard?

Half off on warped boards is a steal if you own a planer.

Bought one just to find out my planer's broken.

Wait, did your friend actually try planing one of those warped boards and it was a disaster lol? My buddy thought he was being smart buying a bunch of shorts from a yard near him, then his planer ate one and threw it back like a piece of gum.
