As Inflation Continues At Record Pace, Goodwill Stores Offer Alternative To New Clothes

HACKENSACK, NEW JERSEY - JULY 27: People walk into a Goodwill Outlet Center on July 27, 2022 in Hackensack, New Jersey. Goodwill and other markets that sell pre-owned items have seen a rise in customers due to inflation costs and younger consumers buying pre-owned materials for environmental concerns. Market analyst IBISWorld predicts that the thrift store market will grow by 2.4% in 2022. Through its recycling of clothing and other items, Goodwill helps keep millions of pounds of clothing out of landfills annually. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
