One bargain hunter bought a popular but old-fashioned camera from a charity shop for the equivalent of just over \u00a35 which sells for hundreds online.<\/p>\n
Thrifting is when shoppers visit charity shops, such as Goodwill in the US, to find otherwise expensive items which are on sale for a much-reduced price.<\/p>\n
On social media sites, such as Reddit, thrift shoppers share the various deals and savings they make with each other.<\/p>\n
A Reddit user named Megacatt revealed they had purchased a vintage Nikon camera while thrifting.<\/p>\n
Posting on the subreddit ThriftStoreHauls, the bargain hunter divulged their find which goes for 30 times the price.<\/p>\n
