Long term readers of TFTS will no doubt recall that, back in the day when TFTS was a predominantly orange affair (we like to think that the new colour scheme is a little more pleasing to the eyes these days) we had our own online store which suddenly went MIA – well the good news is that its back, and its better than ever before so not only can you read TFTS, you can also shop with TFTS.

The burning question here is, why would you want to shop with us and, in order to answer that question with respect to yourself, our answer requires us to be up front and above board about why we would welcome your patronage.

In short, and for those unfamiliar with how Amazon Affiliate Stores work, shopping via our online store is a win-win situation as not only will you still pay the some of the best prices for products available but, in purchasing items via us, you’ll also be helping to support the ongoing costs associated with running the site – without any impact whatsoever regarding the price you pay (it’s just that Amazon will offer us a tiny fraction of the sale value as a commission).

Of course, it’s entirely up to you whether you choose to shop via our site or not – regardless of the fact that you’ll pay the same price as listed on the main Amazon.com site – and we wholly respect that: which is why we thought that (unlike many sites running affiliate stores) we would be entirely up front with you as to how we benefit without impacting on you.

That said – having seemingly done my best to put you off it (a salesman I’m not) – if you would like to browse our online store and help us with the day to day costs of hosting TFTS having now moved to a dedicated server you can access our store either via the top sidebar page menu or via this direct link.

Your patronage would be sincerely appreciated.
