Thrifting tips for Natchitoches

Thrifting in Natchitoches goes better with a little prep:

• Cash still talks at New to You. 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 for matching sets at Tres Bieu Antiquities and Resale. Single plates and glasses are easy; full sets are the prize. Scan the whole shelf — mates hide behind other stock.
• Check the furniture first, clothes second. Good furniture sells within hours; good clothes within days. Walk the furniture floor before the racks.
• Look behind the front row. Shoppers pull things out and shove them back carelessly. The best find is often one rack deep, half-hidden.
