thrifter
Consignment store regular
A thrifter is someone who shops at thrift stores—secondhand shops selling used clothing, furniture, and household goods at low prices.
The term suggests not just occasional bargain hunting but a regular practice or identity: She's a dedicated thrifter who never pays retail.
Thrifting has gained cultural cachet as both economical and environmentally conscious.
