Frequently Asked Questions

Is the illustration of "Mr. Thrifty" a photo of you?

No, I'm not that handsome. I actually had a local illustrator create Mr. Thrifty for me. Anyway, I really wouldn't want to be the mascot of my own site.

If I find a deal, can I email you?

I'm working on a form to contact us for that very reason.

Is this your only job?

My wife and I own and operate web sites for a living (modest living). Yes, this is our only job but not our only site.

How do you keep all the product straight, do you have a computer system that does it?

We hand pick each link and enter it into our site. Our good friend Marc helped us create the system to manage the product listings.

Do you really do woodworking?

Yes, but I do NOT make a living woodworking. Any close inspection of my work would clear up any confusion very quickly.
