By Dora Reed

Those who don't mind the limited options of style and fit of these basic cabinets can get the best value for their money. These days, stock cupboards have solid wood doors and fair-quality drawers.

You might want to also visit salvage shops for a secondhand cabinet, as well as thrift stores. If you'd like a new cabinet, you can also wait until the manufacturers have discounts.

Save even more money by installing the cupboards yourself. One thing to keep in mind is that you'll need the required skill level and time to perfectly work on this installation. Since cabinets are heavy, you'll need some extra helping hands around as well. Not only will this be more efficient during assembly, but you'll be able to have a safer working environment.
