Move one: use the bazaar as a map
Narges starts with the historic bazaar to compare categories, not to name today's best shop.
Move two: compare textiles by use
Compare size, edges, reverse, repairs and written material claims.
Move three: go beyond appearance for instruments
If a daf will be played, assess build and sound with informed help.
Move four: buy packaged food late
Check dates, seals, ingredients and storage so food spends less time under heat and pressure.
Move five: finish with three questions
Who made it, how is it cared for, and what remains on the receipt? These create traceability.
