Question Posted Monday October 24 2005, 9:12 pm

What actually IS a thrift store and where on earth can I find one?
I'm English lol so I'm really not getting this and it would help if someone English could explain it to me...no offence if you are another nationality, but an English person will be more likely to be able to give me examples of these 'thrift stores' :)

American thrift stores = English charity shops.

it's where people donate things they aren't going to use anymore [clothes, toys, cds, etc.] to the salvation army or goodwill. it's like a consignment shop, except sort of lower class. i love thrift stores, they have really vintage stuff. :]

When people don't want old stuff the places that wind up with it are thrift stores. Salvation Army? Goodwill? Ring any bells? These are examples of thrift stores. Personally, I think they rule. I got a brand new couch no stains or rips for a grand total of 45 dollars. Rock on thrift stores! Peoples unwanted stuff is cool.

They might also be called used clothes store or second hand stores.

The easiest way to describe it may be an indoor garage sale. The prices are usually pretty cheap and most iof the stuff is in good condition. :)
