Thrifting tips for Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

A few things worth knowing before you work through Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu's thrift stores:

• Check zippers, buttons and seams at Centre de Partage Communtaire Johannais. Thirty seconds of inspection at the rack beats discovering the broken zipper at home. Thrift stores don't do returns.
• The housewares aisle rewards patience. Cast iron, Pyrex, good knives — they all surface eventually. Check the bottom shelves; heavy things live low.
• Check the furniture first, clothes second. Good furniture sells within hours; good clothes within days. Walk the furniture floor before the racks.
• Test every button and dial. Lamps, radios, kitchen gadgets — try them in the store if there's an outlet handy. As-is means as-is.
