Answer 3

Janice,

They are stores, usually operated by non-profit groups like Salvation Army, Goodwill, St Vincent de Paul, where people can go and buy inexpensive clothing, and in many cases furniture, cooking items, toys, and other things. The money they make goes to support low income families. Stores like Value Village support rehab programs.

My family and I used these a lot while I was in college - and it was very helpful. We donate to them quite a bit now.

Answer 5

you can drop off clothes you don't want anymore & they will take them & sell them there. you can also go look for cool used things there. for so cheap! =]

**oh, and theres a DIFFERENCE between second hand stores and thrift stores!

-a secondhand store is where people get PAID to sell the store their clothes. so the clothes are usually a better quality because the people who work there only accept GOOD clothes. (example: platos closet)

-a thrift store accepts anything, and you don't get paid for giving them your clothes. so it's cheaper with not as many nice clothes. but you can find some cool, old things there. (example: goodwill)

Answer 16

I actually think you know what "thrift stores" are but want everyone to  think you are above that!!!!!!!    I can read people like you and I don't like the ones who think they are above anyone else.    I have money and will never want for anything,   but I go for bargains.   One day you will com down to earth.   Maybe even  when you have to beg on the street corner.     KARMA
