tip for withdrawing money from Wasabi wallet

Spend each mixed coin separately for best anonymity. ie suppose you mixed 0.5 btc and got back 5 mixed coins, don't spend them all in one transaction.
Timing of spending mixed coins could also be used to correlate that they belong to same person. ie you spend all the mixed coins separately all but on the same day a few weeks after the mix. An analyst could assign some probability that they belong to the same person due to timing of spends.

That's a bit tricky unless you mix far more coins than you need, which results in bitcoin sitting there for some time with the risk of dropping in value. Not sure how necessary this is as a buyer?

I think a good start is how the bitcoin is purchased in the first place. Use someone else who you can trust or buy with cash, probably wise to put too much faith in coin mixing.

Re: tip for withdrawing money from Wasabi wallet

Buyers are likely mixing small amounts so typically would only be receiving back one coin anyway. But for a large order they would need to spend all the mixed coins together. But for vendors, you could spend each mixed coin separately. Wasabi docs recommend not spending all outputs of a mix at once. Even just splitting the spend of the outputs into two spend instead of one, would be better. The bigger the amount mixed the more important it becomes to spend outputs in chunks instead of all together.
