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.
