This year's Iowa visit turned out to be in late August, which for a summer resort area typically means generous end-of-season sales. This casual sportswear store was no exception, as its "Storewide Clearance" advertised 20%-50% off everything in the store. In other words, we came in even though we weren't really looking for anything in particular. My Son takes a Size 13 shoe of which Brad's had a decent selection. However, the Kid was in a "Don't Tread On Me" mood and he bolted rather than acquiesce to our pleadings to try something on. I then looked around and found a really cool Minnesota Twins hat for 20% Off. The guy running the place was cool throughout.

And…read moresure enough, 2 of the Richter Brothers were there, telling me stories and thanking me for coming in. Sunday hours during my visit were 12-3, and whenever I choose to go, I always check when they're open. This time around, the 50% plus $1 area was brimming with clothing and in my size! I left with 2 nice University of Okoboji branded shirts and a comfortable Marmot jacket. I wandered the non-sale areas as well, as this place has always been an "at home" experience. As long as I'm able to come to the Iowa Great Lakes, I'll be here.

At one point in my Estherville youth, I think this place was Anthony's. That's when the meat…read morepacking plant was open, and there was a little more department store and other business action downtown. Thrifty's has two floors with 6000 sq. ft. of retail space and is filled with gently used merchandise at deep discounts. More importantly, proceeds support ECHO PLUS services for Emmet and Dickinson Counties' people with disabilities. This store also provides employment opportunities for these folks. Program participants sort and hang clothing, price items and clean. In addition, people from the community volunteer at Thrifty's to help keep things going. My Son has never met a yard sale that he didn't love. So as we were recently walking around Downtown Estherville, he made a direct path to Thrifty's Door. I looked around a bit, but quickly snuck out and headed for the Library. The Kid hung around a bit longer, made some friends, and later tried to convince me to buy a few things. Well, it is a good cause....

That loss stuck with him, as he insisted that we return to Animal House during the Summers of 2011 and 2012 to find a suitable replacement. During the last visit, we finally found a worthy successor, and at 20% Off. I knew we did well because he wouldn't take the damn thing off afterwards and even posted a picture of it on his Facebook page. I'll have to admit that it does go well with the matching Fox white t-shirt that Gayle and I also purchased for him.

And every time we have gone there to make a purchase, it's always been a good experience. Most of the time we have dealt with Andrew himself, and he's great at being clear on what they can or can't get in terms of special orders, and has been quick to get back to us on pricing for special orders, availability, etc. Just this last week, my father and I made a special order with them on a Monday and they had the item available to pick up a week and a day later. This time frame seemed perfectly reasonable to me. Also, I was very happy with the price for this particular item. I was expecting to pay a bit more, and that was before we got a discount for paying up front in cash. For my father and I, No Limits Outdoors has become our first stop when looking for a particular firearm. To date, there is only one firearm I had been looking for that they either didn't have or couldn't obtain - and it was a pretty esoteric item to begin with so I was not surprised. The staff has always been helpful and courteous. Like most any business, there are times where they may be busy with several customers but when they're working with you - you really feel like they're working with you. These days, that alone kinda goes a long way. Know what I mean?
