charity shops
Secondhand goods stores
Charity shops are retail stores, common in the UK, that sell donated secondhand goods to raise money for charitable organizations.
Americans typically call these thrift stores or thrift shops.
The merchandise—clothing, books, housewares, furniture—is donated by the public and sold at low prices, with proceeds supporting the charity's mission.
I found a vintage jacket at the charity shop for three quid.
