thrifted
Bought at resale
Thrifted describes something bought secondhand, typically from a thrift store: I thrifted this jacket for five dollars, a thrifted vintage dress.
The word reflects the rise of secondhand shopping as both economical and fashionable.
To thrift is to shop at thrift stores: We spent Saturday thrifting.
