The
Guides

We already bought the wrong one, so these take a while to write. Six are on the bench. None of them are finished, and we would rather say so than put up a page of filler.

These are titles, not articles. When one is finished it will show up here with a date on it. Until then the honest answer is on the aisle pages — every price on this site has a line under it saying what we would buy again.

How we pick things

We don't take your money. The stores do.

Some links on this site are affiliate links, which means a store pays us a cut when you buy. It does not change your price and it does not decide what we recommend — it is the reason we can tell you the $14 one is fine. If one of the three of us has not owned a thing and hosed it off, it does not go on the shelf.
