For quite a while we’ve warned you that we were planning on opening
up an online store. If you read the Fall Issue of our magazine you also
know that Taylor Scully was recently hired to manage that store.
Taylor is hard at work putting together a vast line of products and
organizing them into categories that will make the store more user
friendly. This involves contacting various distributors and organizing
each product into its proper category. This might sound easy, and it
would be if we only planned on offering just a few products in one or
two categories. However, we’ve got high hopes for the online store, and
we want a wide range of products that will help our community meet a
wide range of “prudence” based needs.
That being said, we bugged Taylor until he took a five minute break
to tell us about the store. He says that it will be organized into five
basic categories when it goes live:
Conservation – This is our foundation as a company
and we think it’s only proper that we provide our community with
products that conserve energy on a small scale. Even if you don’t think
solar panels are right for you, I think we can all agree that using
light bulbs that are up to 90% more energy efficient is the prudent
thing to do. If for no other reason than your energy bill.
Gardening – Growing your own garden is a great way
to practice frugal living while also getting away from unhealthy
processed food. Many in our community prefer organic products, but
buying organic is expensive, while growing it yourself can be cheaper
and just as good. We want to provide you with the tools to do that.
Home – Everything from Laundry detergents, to
cleaners of all sorts, to food dehydrators, to hand operated grain
mills. Whatever need you have in the home, we want to make sure we have
a product that meets it; all of which, by the way, are non-harmful,
environmentally friendly solutions to your every day living needs.
Personal Care - Hair care, personal grooming, and skin care; these products are designed to be safe for both you and nature.
Recreation – We all like our recreation. We want to
make sure you have what you need to enjoy your time in the great
outdoors. Backpacks made from recycled materials, solar powered
flashlights, and safety kits are just some of the options available in
this category.
In the future there will be more categories, as things get going and
Taylor gets in touch with more folks on the distributing end. Until
then, Taylor has already met our product goals for start-up (we already
have close to 200 products and he’s adding more every day), and the
store will be going live just as soon as our new website is complete!
We’ve been excited about this for a long time, and seeing it finally
come together has given us a lot of hope about it’s success!
We’d love to pester Taylor about this some more, but he is already back to work.
