Always check prices on new items before buying second-hand, and be sure you check out items to ensure that they are in good condition. You can look in the Reno Gazette-journal in the classified section for information on yard sales, garage sales, and items that are being sold independently. Look in the telephone directory yellow pages under Furniture Dealers-Used for thrift stores and used furniture stores. Buying Clothes You should always try on an article of clothing before purchas-ing it. By law, cleaning instructions and fabric content should be printed on the label on each item of clothing.
Malls are areas where many stores are grouped together in one location.
The two largest indoor malls in Reno are Park Lane Mall and Meadowood Mall, both located in the South part of town on Virginia Street. These have major department stores, a variety of specialty stores, and several eateries as well. Buying Food Supermarkets are the least expensive stores in which to buy food. Usually part of a chain of stores owned by one company, they offer fresh, frozen, and processed foods and a wide variety of household items. Most supermarkets accept personal checks with the proper ID and some allow you to use debit or credit cards.
