Smart Shopping
Charity Shops
The original circular economy.
British charity shops are a parallel retail economy: same brands, fraction of the price, money goes to a cause. The biggest chains run their pricing tighter than ever, but bargains still hide in smaller branches and online.
These are the UK charity-shop networks worth browsing. BHF stocks furniture and tech; Oxfam Online has rare books and vintage; Mind tends to be the most curated.
