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....

The art work is dead on as the other art work on all the other artafacts in the museum. A pair of moccasin slippers I never seen becouse my great grandmother wore them until there was nothing left. Shame on her. But the Quiver was passed down to me. I now have it and wanted 2 know if i can get in trouble for having it?? I am thinking about returning it 2 its place but i do not want 2 get in any trouble for it. I know none of the authentic artifacts are for sale . My Great Grandad broke into the museum like 60 years ago and took these two items. Thats how the story goes anyways. If someone contacts me i will include photos of the quiver. Call 319-241-4398

Wonderful selection of previously owned home furnishings. We found a piece we wanted, but prior to…read morepurchasing we needed to make sure it would fit. Once we knew it would work, we contacted the store the next day, they remembered us, we purchased it over the phone and delivery was made the same day. An over-all excellent experience.

Delivery was very affordable considering the distance from the store to our home!

Considering the short season and Iowa thrift, I continue to be surprised that these stores survive from year to year. Touche offers an eclectic array of gifts and accessories.

So while Gayle had her fun here, this +1 first wandered around this compact and stuffed space and then escaped to Books and Things across the way. She thought that this place was a lot of fun, while this male doesn't quite understand.
