What the map tells us about thrifting in Trois-Rivières

Thrifting tips for Trois-Rivières

A few things worth knowing before you work through Trois-Rivières's thrift stores:

• Ask when new stock hits the floor at Village des valeurs. Shops restock on rhythms — truck days, volunteer shifts. One question at the counter tells you when to come back.
• 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.
• Seasonal items go cheapest off-season. Winter coats in April, fans in October. Buy the season ahead and pay half.
• Check zippers, buttons and seams. Thirty seconds of inspection at the rack beats discovering the broken zipper at home. Thrift stores don't do returns.
