Thrifting tips for Bardstown

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

• Go often, buy rarely at JT’s Consignments. The regulars' secret: short frequent visits beat rare long ones. Ten minutes twice a week outperforms a monthly expedition.
• Donate while you're there. Bring a bag of your own cast-offs. It keeps the cycle going and the volunteers remember friendly faces.
• Look behind the front row. Shoppers pull things out and shove them back carelessly. The best find is often one rack deep, half-hidden.
• Check the furniture first. Solid wood furniture is the thrift store's greatest bargain — it was built to last and priced to move. Measure your space before you go.
