Shoppers go second-hand to help combat cost-of-living crisis

Sales almost doubled at a second-hand clothing retailer in the final three months of 2022 as shoppers looked for ways to cut costs amid the cost-of-living crisis.

Blackburn-based Go Thrift's revenue totalled £846,000 in the final quarter, up from £451,000 a year earlier.

It also confirmed that on Black Friday its sales were up by 160% compared to the previous year.
