Thrifting tips for Haliburton

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

• Learn the colour-tag system at Lily Ann Thrift Store. Many charity shops tag items with coloured stickers and discount one colour each week. Ask at the till; it's rarely advertised.
• Bring a tape measure. The perfect sideboard is useless if it won't fit through your door. Tape measure in the bag, every trip.
• Ask about the back room. Some shops hold overflow donations out back. A polite question occasionally gets you first look at unprocessed boxes.
• Check the furniture first, clothes second. Good furniture sells within hours; good clothes within days. Walk the furniture floor before the racks.
