Editorial Policy

Our goal is simple: help you solve annoying little obligations with less effort, less time, less money and fewer decisions.

We start with the simplest reasonable solution.We don't assume that buying something is the answer.
$0 is a valid recommendation.If something you already own can reasonably solve the problem, we'll tell you. If one item is enough, we won't suggest five just to make a longer shopping list.
We don't pretend we've tested something when we haven't.We won't claim to have personally used, tested or owned a product unless that's actually the case.
Retail information can change.Prices, availability, delivery estimates, pickup options, sizing, product specifications and included components can change. Check the retailer's current information before making a purchase.
Product-specific information comes from the source.For age guidance, sizing, warnings, instructions and other product-specific details, rely on the current retailer or manufacturer information.
Affiliate relationships do not change the basic rule.Start with the simplest reasonable solution. Sometimes the best answer generates no commission for us. That's fine.
Fewer choices can be better.We're deliberately not trying to create the biggest list on the internet.
