Thrifting tips for Marblehead

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

• Keep a running want-list at The Market - The Salem Pantry. Write down what you're hunting for. Aimless browsing is fun, but a list turns luck into strategy.
• Check the furniture first, clothes second at Lifebridge Thrift Store. Good furniture sells within hours; good clothes within days. Walk the furniture floor before the racks.
• Bring cash for the small shops. Card minimums are common at volunteer-run tills. A few small bills keep a bargain from getting awkward.
• Ask when new stock hits the floor. Shops restock on rhythms — truck days, volunteer shifts. One question at the counter tells you when to come back.
