Thrifting tips for La Prairie
A few things worth knowing before you work through La Prairie's thrift stores:
- Test every button and dial at Renaissance Boutique. Lamps, radios, kitchen gadgets — try them in the store if there's an outlet handy. As-is means as-is.
- Bring cash for the small shops at Renaissance. Card minimums are common at volunteer-run tills. A few small bills keep a bargain from getting awkward.
- Learn the colour-tag system. Many charity shops tag items with coloured stickers and discount one colour each week. Ask at the till; it's rarely advertised.
- Check for matching sets. Single plates and glasses are easy; full sets are the prize. Scan the whole shelf — mates hide behind other stock.
