Thrifter
someone that religiously shops at thrift stores looking for bargains and often scores amazing deals. often dedicated to recycling and reuse of products to keep our planet “greener”.
“i’m a real fan of thrift stores. they call me a thrifter, but in a good way! it’s amazing the deals you can find. i found a beautiful designer handbag at one last week for $8.00!! thrifting is my life – and reusing instead of throwing everything away is better for our environment”

a thrifter is a low level player, or opportunist. in a broader sense, a thrifter is a purveyor of second-hand pleasures.
based on the jim thompson novel and 90’s film adaptation, “the grifters,” a thrifter is anyone who makes a living by scoring objects of worth from grannie’s yard-sale (i.e. suckers) and reselling them on ebay or a flea market at a huge profit. true thrifters live in second-hand style, rocking used clothes, furniture, music, books, etc. conversely, thrifter may also be used as a compliment.
die-hard thrifters end up owning boutiques, peddling antiques, old records, vintage clothing, or graduate to become pickers for crate and barrel, urban outfitters, etc.
thrifters may ultimately learn a trade and become clothing designers ripping off designs from old clothing, or doc-mentary directors, thrifting the pain and suffering of others for their own benefit.
