thrift shop

Donated goods retailer

A thrift shop is a retail store selling secondhand goods, typically clothing, furniture, and household items, often run by charitable organizations.

Prices are low because inventory comes from donations.

I found a vintage leather jacket at the thrift shop for twelve dollars.

Also called a thrift store or charity shop (British).
