Thrifting tips for Rivière-du-Loup

Regulars learn these fast; visitors to Rivière-du-Loup can skip the learning curve:

• Bring a tape measure at Achetons Vendons. The perfect sideboard is useless if it won't fit through your door. Tape measure in the bag, every trip.
• 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.
• The book section is underpriced everywhere. Books are heavy, slow to sell, and priced to clear. First editions and out-of-print gems hide here regularly.
• Ask about the back room. Some shops hold overflow donations out back. A polite question occasionally gets you first look at unprocessed boxes.
