Overview
- TikTok user Ella Mollie says becoming a professional charity-shop shopper is about knowing which branches get the best donations rather than luck.
- Her core advice is to thrift in wealthy areas outside cities, spotlighting Cancer Research UK in Wilmslow and recommending Altrincham, Manchester city centre, Stockport and Sue Ryder in Chorlton.
- She showcases specific finds and prices, including a real leather jacket for £50, a handbag for £6, knee-high leather boots for £15 and Adidas leggings for £3.
- A newer video of her Manchester weekend haul highlights items such as Nike Air Max trainers priced at £25 and Adidas Originals track bottoms.
- The coverage also notes frustration over rising prices, with reseller Jordan Lee saying he now avoids big charity chains because he believes they have become too expensive.
