Thrifting tips for Valparaíso

Regulars learn these fast; visitors to Valparaíso can skip the learning curve:

• Learn your fabrics at Daisy Ugalde Ltda. A quick touch tells wool from acrylic, leather from pleather. Natural fibres at thrift prices are the whole game.
• 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.
• Learn the colour-tag system. Many charity shops discount by tag colour on rotation. Ask which colour is half price this week — it changes regularly.
• Learn the colour-tag system. Many charity shops tag items with coloured stickers and discount one colour each week. Ask at the till; it's rarely advertised.
