I see a lot of "Vintage" stores with second hand designer clothes, but those are still really expensive. Are there any inexpensive thrift stores, along the lines of goodwill or charity thrifts in Florence?

There are many, but most inexpensive ones are outside the city center. They are not as large as the typical Goodwill in the US, although there are some warehouses that are larger, but usually outside the city in the suburbs or in some industrial district in the city outskirts.
Google ABBIGLIAMENTO USATO FIRENZE, and you'll have many hits.

I came across two places that were thrift type shops in Italy, both run by the Red Cross.
One in Arezzo and one in Rimini.
There’s one in Florence on Borgo San Frediano…..”Croce Rossa Italiana”.
There is an open air flea market in or near Piazza dei Ciompi …not sure which day of the week.
Definitely some bargains there.
I bought a pair of sterling silver and moonstone earrings there for E5 a couple of years ago.
There are many vintage and second hand shops in Florence…just google to search for them..
