Special Sales and Small Business Saturday

We get asked all the time: "Do you all ever put stuff on sale?"

Our joking response, delivered with a smile, is usually: "Sure. Everything in the store is for sale."

But, all jokes aside, I appreciate the real meaning of the question. Customers are used to Big Box or Online stores that periodically mark down, mark up, bundle and play all sorts of games with prices to entice people to buy, buy, buy. The question boils down to this: "If I wait and come back, will the price be lower some other time?" This fluctuation of prices ends up making people constantly worried about whether or not they are getting the absolute best deal.

Sometimes it makes sense to stress about finding the rock-bottom lowest price on things. But, oftentimes, I myself find that when I've spent way too much of my time searching out a savings of a couple bucks, I'd rather have back the time I spent searching. Unfortunately: time is never refundable.

Our philosophy has always been to keep things simple. Sell only high-quality, high-value, long-lasting products at a fair price and leave the dizzying, stress-inducing shell game of rollbacks, coupon codes and closeouts to the Big Guy Goliaths of Retail.

But, with that said, for the first time in a long time, we are actually putting on a storewide sale for Small Business Saturday, in solidarity with all of our small-business brothers and sisters out there. So on Saturday, November 29th, we look forward to sharing 5 to 50% off storewide savings with you... along with our friendly, knowledgable customer service that we offer all year round!
