Thrifting tips for Asunción

A few things worth knowing before you work through Asunción's thrift stores:

• Learn the colour-tag system at Productos La Copa. Many charity shops discount by tag colour on rotation. Ask which colour is half price this week — it changes regularly.
• Check the art and frames. Original art, good frames, and the occasional genuine print turn up constantly. Frames alone are worth the habit.
• Weekday mornings beat Saturday crowds. Serious pickers go early on weekdays. Weekends are for browsers; the stock is the same but the competition isn't.
• Look behind the front row. Shoppers pull things out and shove them back carelessly. The best find is often one rack deep, half-hidden.
