Thrift Stores in Fairfield, IA

“Your Halloween Headquarters! This place is a great place to shop for weird Fairfield knickknacks and tchotchkes. This place is on Burlington, one of the biggest streets through town. It's a relatively new building, with good lighting and a great parking lot. It's not on any kind of hard corner. The shop is clean and well lit inside. I found lots and lots of viable halloween costume options here. The staff had even gone through and sorted the costumes based on genres. I got out with a HUGE cat head that fits over your head like a mascot's. Score! They have all kinds of strange stuff in here, and bargains abound. I wonder whose houses some of these candles and coffee mugs come from. But I'm happy to scrounge through them and find the cool ones!”

“The Well is so much more than a thrift store; they are the heartbeat of this community. I have witnessed first hand, the staff at The Well step up and completely prioritize families in crisis over profit. The entire team are phenomenal, open, and deeply caring. Beyond their massive hearts, the store itself is a wonderful place to visit. It is incredibly welcoming, clean, organized, and you can easily get lost for hours browsing the gently used items. They are constantly putting out fresh inventory, and the daily deals—ranging from 50% to 80% off—are absolutely stellar.The Well genuinely lifts up and strengthens this community. My family is forever grateful for their kindness, and we highly recommend supporting this store! ❤

I would like to include a personal shout out to Valerie. She helped our family navigate a crisis with open arms, genuine care, and absolute grace. She also completely won over my toddler, which is basically the ultimate background check—if cloning were legal, she’d be placed first in line! She is a rare gem who provides crucial community resources with a truly pure soul, and my family is officially her biggest fan.”
