There's a local Habitat store selling edge glued boards, 8" wide 5 foot
long for $6 for poplar and $10 for Oak. They are at least 3/4" thick.
Is this a decent price?

It is an OK price, not a great price from what I can see. You have 3.3
board feet of wood, but it would have probably been closer to 4 bd. ft.
before jointing and trimming. Oak is about $3.25 a board foot here,
poplar about $2

But it if you can use it, but not worth mortgaging the family farm to stock
up.
