At least in my experience (maybe US is different) charity shops charge so little it might as well be free.

Is in Canada (rural Sask) and there aren't many rural charity shops. The few that are out there are darned near new pricing.

Then, please disregard my comment :-D
What's the point of a charity shop if it isn't cheaper? How odd :-)
Also, sorry for mis-nationalising you!

@econads @Lynnd @MyWoolyMastadon @falcennial @daviddlevine @Cbfoley No problem - just that nowadays most charity shops are owned by big corps or churches & they like Feregi style profit

When I first moved to my town I was chary of giving to charity since it seemed like the only ones were catholic, and the catholic church (any church really I suppose) is not an organisation I wish to encourage! Luckily an Oxfam opened up shortly after.

Yep. Salvation Army and Goodwill are horrible charities. Their prices for goods they got for free are exorbitant. A few bucks more and you could buy brand new.

Lucky to have a religious charity in my area that keeps prices cheap. Saw a Tommy Bahamas shirt some time ago. The price was $5 like all of the other shirts.
