Thrift Stores
You can find a thrift store, or thrift shop, or charity shop throughout cities in many
countries. These shops mainly sell used goods, such as clothing, books, music albums,
shoes, DVDs, toys, and furniture. Most of the goods are donations from the public, so
they are very cheap. Shopping at thrift stores is traditionally an economical way to buy
clothes and basic necessities for low-income families and individuals. Today thrift
store shopping has become a fun and exciting way for many people to find rare and
expensive goods at a low price.
The purpose of thrift stores is to raise money for charities. The money you spend at a
thrift shop usually benefits a church, school, or community group. They help support
charitable purposes like helping homeless people, supporting a cancer association, or
job training and placement programs for people with disabilities and the
disadvantaged. Shopping at thrift shops is a great way to save money while supporting
a good cause.
