thrift shopper

Consignment store patron

A thrift shopper is someone who buys secondhand goods at thrift stores, consignment shops, or similar outlets.

The term suggests both frugality and the pleasure of hunting for bargains or unique finds: She's a dedicated thrift shopper who furnished her entire apartment for under five hundred dollars.

Thrift shopping has gained cultural cachet beyond mere economy, associated with sustainability and vintage style.
