Thrifting tips for Edmundston

Regulars learn these fast; visitors to Edmundston can skip the learning curve:

• Check the art and frames at Good Shepard Ministries. Original art, good frames, and the occasional genuine print turn up constantly. Frames alone are worth the habit.
• Don't ignore the kids' section at Jenna's Helping Hands. Kids outgrow everything in months, so the children's racks are full of barely-worn quality. Even without kids, the small furniture is great for small spaces.
• The housewares aisle rewards patience. Cast iron, Pyrex, good knives — they all surface eventually. Check the bottom shelves; heavy things live low.
• Bring a tape measure. The perfect sideboard is useless if it won't fit through your door. Tape measure in the bag, every trip.
