I was way too early for my appointment in Alexandria and googled thrift stores in Sauk Centre as I pulled over in Sauk Centre. This showed up. I drove over. I like small town thrift stores as they price things accordingly and profits help social service agencies. A win win for everyone. I searched cds and records and the whole store. Needed a key to use the bathroom. I found this cute homemade rug made by persons served at STEP. It was 30"x 27" and $16.20. Amish rugs go for much higher. Plus it was made with pride. They also have a store in Staples, MN. STEP stands for Serving Teaching & Empowering People. I've worked in social services for over 20 years, so supporting this store is gratifying for me. read more
