CHARITY shops are traditionally a way to pick up donated items for a fraction of their original price.

But some shoppers say they are turning their backs on buying pre-owned charity clothes as they claim they are "ridiculously expensive" and say it's cheaper to shop at Primark.

It comes as Gen-Z shoppers are increasingly favouring second hand sites like Depop and Vinted, along with car boot sales, to snap up purse-friendly outfits.

A number of young shoppers have taken to social media to complain about the expensive prices at charity shops.

Anna, who posts under @thecharityshopqueen, has uploaded a number of videos in charity shops calling out their "audacious pricing."

She was also unimpressed at some orange heeled sandals for £14 that were £25 when bought new, and she added: "I'd rather pay that and not have had someone's smelly feet in them."

In another video, she was amazed when a charity shop said they didn't sell anything for under £8, even H⁘M items.

Bargain hunter Hope Bailey called out shops in Manchester saying: "Why are charity shops going so expensive?"

Meanwhile influencer Lilly Whitfield, who lives in London, said: "Somebody tell me why charity shops are becoming so expensive.
