Thrifting tips for Khartoum

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

• Look behind the front row at عقارات ابو لجين. Shoppers pull things out and shove them back carelessly. The best find is often one rack deep, half-hidden.
• Try everything on. Sizing across decades is chaos. The fitting room — or a brave moment by the mirror — saves you from the almost-right jacket.
• Don't ignore the kids' section. 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.
• Go early in the week. Donations land on weekends, so Monday and Tuesday shelves are the freshly stocked ones. By Saturday the good stuff is gone.
