Find bargains

Question

Say you are shopping for goods at Big Lots or a thrift store or something not retail, how would you describe those stores as a group? "Bargain stores" or "find bargains" some kind of informal way to group that kind of shopping? And separately what word would describe goods bought at those stores? I've looked up the translations but I don't want to sound like I'm just looking up translations, if you know what I mean!!! Thanks!!

ETA: I just wanted to add that they would be deals that would always be available at bargain stores and what those bargain stores are called, not something that is on sale temporarily from the regular price. I guess I'm trying to differentiate something for sale at Goodwill rather than a sale on something at Macy's. I'm not fluent so I don't know those little differences, if any. Thanks

Tiendas de Oferta are like 99 cent stores that always have the same prices. - 0068e2f4, Nov 10, 2009

Carissa I'm editing the title of your post. Please try in the future to use proper capitalization as it is a rule in this forum. Thank you. - 0068e2f4, Nov 10, 2009

Answer 1

I found Tiendas de oferta using the translator. I'm a native speaker and it sounds good to me. But wait around maybe we can find other translations for you.

Tiendas de segunda mano --- Thrift stores --- second-hand merchandise.

Tiendas de descuento --- Discount Stores.

To shop for bargains would be comprar a precios de gangas
