Used goods stores
Thrifts is the plural of thrift, which has two main meanings.
Thrift is the quality of using money and resources carefully, avoiding waste: Her thrift allowed her to retire early.
Thrifts are also savings institutions—banks that traditionally focused on savings accounts and home mortgages, like savings and loan associations or credit unions: Several thrifts failed during the crisis.
