What the map tells us about thrifting in Leamington

Thrifting tips for Leamington

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

• Ask when new stock hits the floor at Value Village. Shops restock on rhythms — truck days, volunteer shifts. One question at the counter tells you when to come back.
• Learn your fabrics. A quick touch tells wool from acrylic, leather from pleather. Natural fibres at thrift prices are the whole game.
• Cash still talks. Some small shops prefer cash and a few will deal a little on big items if you're paying cash. Worth having some on you.
• Check the furniture first. Solid wood furniture is the thrift store's greatest bargain — it was built to last and priced to move. Measure your space before you go.
