Perhaps getting ready to tackle a do-it-yourself project, Jennifer Garner stopped by a Pacific Palisades hardware store on Saturday (4/6/2013).

Accompanied by her daughter Violet and her son Samuel, the “Dallas Buyers Club” actress kept casual in jeans and a pink sweater as they selected their purchases.

On Thursday, the mother-of-three and wife of Ben Affleck spoke to People about her hubby’s Academy Awards acceptance speech.

Although his words about the couple’s relationship raised eyebrows to some, Jen took his dedication as the “hugest, warmest compliment in the world.”
