thrift shopping
Buying used goods
Thrift shopping is buying secondhand goods at thrift stores, consignment shops, or similar outlets.
The appeal combines frugality with treasure hunting—finding quality items at steep discounts: I found this vintage jacket thrift shopping.
The practice has shed its association with necessity, becoming fashionable among those who enjoy the hunt or prefer sustainable consumption.
