Thrifting tips for San Carlos de Bariloche

A few things worth knowing before you work through San Carlos de Bariloche's thrift stores:

• Check the art and frames at Eco Moda. Original art, good frames, and the occasional genuine print turn up constantly. Frames alone are worth the habit.
• Check zippers, buttons and seams. Thirty seconds of inspection at the rack beats discovering the broken zipper at home. Thrift stores don't do returns.
• 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.
• Learn the colour-tag system. Many charity shops discount by tag colour on rotation. Ask which colour is half price this week — it changes regularly.
