thrift store

Used goods retailer

A thrift store is a retail shop that sells secondhand goods, typically clothing, furniture, and household items, at low prices.

Many thrift stores are operated by charitable organizations, with proceeds supporting their programs.

The appeal is twofold: budget-conscious shoppers find bargains, while those with an eye for vintage or unique items go thrifting to discover treasures.

I found a designer jacket at the thrift store for eight dollars.
