Having A Baby for Less Than $300!posted by Andrea | 11/8/2011
Several months ago, after I broke the news that we were pregnant, I talked about Having a Baby on a Budget.
Since then, I have stayed true to my frugal nature and with the help of Craigslist, my mom's garage-sale addiction, lots of borrowing, and generous gifts from family and friends…
We've spent LESS than $300 on our baby so far!
And that includes EVERYTHING for our nursery, clothing, accessories, books, toys, bedding, diapers, wipes, other toiletries, car seats {yes we have 2}, strollers {2 of those}, diaper bags, towels, changing pad, extra blankets, breast pump, bottles, tons of formula, bouncy seat, Bumbo, Boppy, Johnny Jumper, Pack n Play, all my maternity clothes, and even our maternity photo shoot and classes at the hospital!
I've kept track of every penny we've spent and even surprised myself when I recently saw that the total was still under $300!
Now granted, we did receive several gifts, gift cards, and cash… but besides a few select items {like sheets, mattress pads, and toiletries} I've gotten almost every single thing used, or made it myself.
And you know what, our baby won't know the difference!
Do babies really HAVE to be expensive?
I can't tell you how many people have told me over and over again how expensive it is to have a baby and how those expenses keep growing and growing as the baby gets older. They'll say things like, "you better start saving now", or "get used to being broke", or even "you're not going to be able to spend any money on YOU once you have the baby."
Besides the fact that their advice is completely negative — and probably not the nicest thing to say to a soon-to-be new mom; I also do NOT think it's truthful advice. Having a baby doesn't HAVE to be expensive!
I'm sure it's fun to get all brand new things for your first baby, but I personally can't believe how many people go crazy and buy all sorts of brand new items at ridiculously high prices… just because. Then, a year later, you see those same things {sometimes with the tags still attached} for sale at their garage sale or on Craigslist at a fraction of the price!
How wasteful!
I'm sure many of you already know how frugal I am, but from the moment we found out we were expecting a baby, I decided that we would NOT fall into the trap of thinking our baby needed the latest and greatest of everything. Dave and I were both perfectly fine with garage sale, Craigslist, and other second-hand items for our baby… and boy has that decision paid off!
Oh, and I should mention that just because I buy everything used, does NOT mean that I buy inferior products. As you'll read below, I've purchased many high-end, brand-name items for a fraction of the "new price".
How I Stuck to my LOW Budget:
1. I borrowed as much as I could.
I have several friends and relatives who are about my size and many of them offered to let me look through their maternity clothing. Most of them had also gotten used maternity clothes and were thrilled that someone else could get some use out of their things too. Over all, I spent $2.67 on maternity clothing — and once I'm finished with it, I can return the items to their owners and I don't have to store anything!
I'm also borrowing a bunch of baby things from a few friends — like a baby bathtub, baby swaddle blankets, winter items, and some different types of baby wraps so I can get a feel for what our baby actually likes. Once I figure this out, I'll probably go out and buy our favorite, but for now, borrowing works just fine!
2. I buy everything used.
You would not believe how many clothes, toys, books, shoes, and accessories my mom and I have found via garage sales, second-hand sales, or buying them from friends and relatives — all for pennies {and many of the items still had the tags on them!}
As you may have seen, our nursery closet is packed full of adorable little girls clothes {all the way through 12 months} and we already have a nice little collection of books and small toys started as well.
3. Craigslist is my friend!
I am somewhat obsessed with finding great deals on Craigslist — which has always paid off for me in the past; however I've been amazed at how many hugely discounted baby items are available via my favorite shopping website!
Here are just a FEW of the many deals I've gotten in the past couple of months:
- I found the $200 baby monitor I wanted for $30
- I found the EXACT $180 BabyBjorn bouncy seat I wanted for only $40 {and it came with a bunch of extras}
- I found a nearly new Pack n' Play with ALL the accessories for $30 — delivered to my door!
- I found a Bobby pillow with 2 microfiber slip covers {still in the package} for $10 — normally this whole set would have been closer to $70 or $80
- I found a really nice Jeep umbrella stroller for only $5
I could go on and on… but I think you get the picture. Craigslist has some amazing deals!
4. I made things myself.
Yes, I suppose you have to be a bit crafty to be able to make many of your own baby items… but you CAN do it! I made all my own bedding for less than $8.00 and a bunch of my own baby hair accessories. I also used furniture from around our house for the nursery — and you'd never know it after a fresh coat of paint!
I encouraged friends and family to give me handmade blankets, burp cloths, and little toys as baby gifts instead of pricey store-bought items. Seriously, you should see all the creative handmade gifts I got!
5. I shop sales and rebates.
I know many of you are still amazed at the amount of free {or almost free} diapers, wipes, and other baby toiletries I've accumulated. But with the help of my mom, I am now fully stocked with baby toiletries and baby wipes for at least the first year. And I should have all the diapers I need {Newborn through Size 3} unless she regularly goes through more than 15 a day 🙂
Since I'm not a deal blog, I'm not going to go into all the details of HOW we find such great deals, but it's basically a combination of saving up a bunch of coupons, and then waiting until a local drugstore {Rite Aid/Walgreens/CVS} has a great sale with rebates or in-store rewards.
6. I signed up for all the freebies.
Not only have I signed up for (and received) numerous free baby items via the mail, I've gotten even more free and very high-value coupons for baby items, formula, toiletries, etc.
Yes, I do get a little more spam email now, but I have them filtered directly to my spam folder — which automatically deletes every 30 days; so I really don't have to deal with them.
Here's a link to some good baby deals and freebies — but you'll be surprised what you find if you simply Google your favorite baby brands!
7. I'm a firm believer that "less is more".
I don't care how many times someone tells me that I NEED a baby wipe warmer, I'm not going to get one! It's not necessary in my opinion, and it's just one more thing to buy and then clutter up my house.
And even though I'm already drooling over the super adorable baby girl clothes in the stores, I know I don't need to buy any of them because our baby will be born in the Fall/Winter and she will probably live in onesies, sleepers, and sleep sacks for most of her first few months. I can easily get by with a handful of cute "going away" outfits and save my money for super cute outfits once she's a little older.
It's amazing how few things a baby REALLY NEEDS — food, sleep, warmth, love — and while it is definitely fun to shop for baby items, and may of the items make life more convenient, I'm sure our little girl won't care if her baby wipes are warmed or not 🙂
Was It Worth The Extra Time?
I know that some of you might be thinking about all the time I must have spent looking for these deals, making my own things, signing up for freebies, using coupons, sending rebates, etc. etc.
And you're right, it did take a bunch of time… but I had 9 full months!
Plus, it's SO fun for me to bargain shop, barter with people on Craigslist, and hit up local garage sales. It's a hobby I do anyway… now I just look for baby things as well as other things I want to purchase.
So yes, it was most definitnely worth any extra time it took on my part!
How do you {or did you} save?
- Do you buy mostly new or mostly used baby and kid items?
- Do you have any tips or tricks for finding great deals?
- Are there certain items you would never buy used?
- Are there other items you wished you would have bought used instead of paying full price?
I'd love to hear YOUR frugal thoughts {or even if you think I'm nuts!}

I just had a baby, and I know it seems hard to believe, but I only spent fifty cents, yes-fifty cents on her. That was to buy a little pair of clearance booties. God supplied all my needs through hand-me-downs, and gifts, and a friend offered to let me borrow an exer-saucer. I wanted to buy things, but we truly did not ha e the money. God allowed it to be this way so He could provide for her, and He deserves all the glory for this. I have a testimony about God providing relating to her needs. What a faithful God I serve! Andrea, your frugal tips inspire me! Glad I found your blot. We are kindred spirits regarding saving money, and many other homemaking ways as well.
I love this blog post I have come back to it several times. I am having my third child but I don't want to go crazy with the spending ( I did that the first time 8 years ago). So far I have about half the wardrobe that I need for the babies first year, a Dutalier glider that I purchased for $50 on craigslist, a swing that my husbands co-worker just offered to us, baby monitors I have exclusively breastfed my other children and plan on doing so again (fortunately I did save my Ameda breast pump). I'm glad I stumbled on this blog so early in my pregnancy it has truly been an inspiration.

I think it's awesome!!! I had to laugh about the comments you mentioned that people say when they hear your having a baby! For me, I heard even more because we were having twins!!!
But I know better.
I acquired all my baby stuff much the same way as you. I shopped mom sales, garage sales, craigslist, friends, couponing.
I just had a baby this past year and saved a bunch!!! I knew that I would breastfeed but probably wouldn't make it more then 6 months so I planned ahead for formula. With just the formula we saved 93%!!! How? Coupons and freebies. There were coupons for similac for $5 off. this made the liquid formula only .47cents a bottle. Through friends, strangers on blog sites, and my multiples club I ended up with 60 coupons so 60 bottles. Then we also bought Target brand when there was a sale on 30-40% more cans and also used coupons.
For diapers we hit a deal at Walgreens and ended up with diapers for less then $2 a bag. And the great thing about Walgreens is that we ended up with to many size 1's and were able to exchange them for the size we needed. Wipes, diaper cream, and shampoe we have gotten all free or under $1!
I borrowed our car seat, swing, bouncy seat, bath tub, bumbo seat and maternity clothes. I still had some of the larger items from my twins.
You can have a baby and spend less by being smart about it. Planning is HUGE! I was buying diapers and wipes before the baby came!
Congratulations to you and way to go!!
I bought a lot of my kids clothes at garage sales. Now that I am a Grandma I go to children's resale shops and I also go to mom2mom sales. These are like a big garage sale where moms sell their gently used clothing, toys and baby items. They are held at schools, churches and even arenas. So it's a great place to buy, sell and have a fundraiser. Sometimes you will find homemade items for sale and new vendors.
I just went to a baby shower where the mom to be got tons of cute baby clothes and very few useful items.
Your baby will be fine in her next to new outfits she will outgrow so quickly. Best wishes!
I love this! I used a lot of these same ideas with my 2 kids (now 5 and 3)
A couple other things: We used cloth diapers, which can be a huge initial cost. We avoided this by searching for used diapers, or hand-me-downs. I also made my own diaper covers. Some of my favorite expensive diaper covers were the wool ones, they don't smell and breathe better than any disposable diaper. So I made my own by taking a disposable diaper (we did use these on occasion especially when travelling), and traced it out to use as a pattern. Then I'd look for used wool sweaters at the thrift stores, or use ones I accidentally shrank. You wash them in hot water, and throw them in the drier to felt them. Then cut them out to your pattern, add elastic and snaps. The hardest part is lanolizing the diapers. This is necessary to make the diapers leak-proof. The easiest way to do this is with lanolin soap (you can order it online if you don't have a cloth-diaper friendly store around) and follow directions on the label. I didn't find the soap till my 2nd kid, so I used lanolin nursing creme (one little bottle lasted about 6 months). I would then rub this into the inside of the wool cover when I was washing them (it's super sticky so a very frustrating job, which is why the soap is way better). The wool covers just need air drying for "light" jobs (no smell), and light washing for "heavier" jobs, and a re-lanolizing every 2nd or 3rd washing if using the cream, or every washing with the soap.
Also, babies don't need special wipies, which are actually irritating for sensitive skin, so we'd use water and soft cloths. We did buy wipies once in a while and would throw them in the wash with our diapers. Then we'd reuse them till they were little scraps. I'd also keep the wipies package and shove my rewashed wipies in, add some water, and throw these in my diaper bag.
About washing: we would throw all dirty diapers in a bucket of water with some borax mixed in (with a snap-on lid for safety), we sprayed out "heavier" jobs with a spray hose attached to our toilet (I installed myself), so after a quick draining of the bucket, we'd wash them every couple days, hang them out to dry, and they'd be white and clean for the next job.
Who says kids have to be expensive?

I'm in this boat now at 17 weeks pregnant. The biggest thing that I remind myself that very few things are necessary.
I don't need:
A photo shoot showing off my belly.
Professional photo shoots in the early days or at every milestone.
A full summer and fall and winter and spring maternity and post-partum wardrobe
Multiple baby showers, which may or may not cost you money, but certainly costs someone money for decorations, favors, food.
A carseat for each car that the baby might ever be in.
A video camera to capture all your child's life
To monogram an entire wardrobe for baby
A nursery set of matching furniture.
A matching bed set for crib with quilt, bumper, sheets (these run about $100 minimum from what I've seen)
To decorate a room so well that it could be in a Martha Stewart magazine
A specialty tub for bathing baby
A video monitor for baby
To own 3+ different types of slings/carrying devices
To have toys galore for every stage of life
Nothing wrong with these things, but it's okay to say I don't want to spend my money that way. It's okay to say I'd rather wait and see what I need rather than what I want. It's okay to say I can't afford x,y,or z, so I'll do without.
Wow. Congrats. And wow.
Do you have a crib yet? How did you do that one? If it's a used one…did you find out if there have been any safety recalls? That was my biggest ticket item.

[…] Having a Baby for Less Than $300 ~ "Having a baby doesn't HAVE to be expensive!" Amen. […]
Wow. And I thought I was frugal! You have me beat by a mile. Very inspiring.
I'd love to see your homemade baby girl hair accessories. I've been thinking of trying that for my ten week old girl.
Congrats on your first baby and your frugal yet thorough prep! Don't forget about cloth diapers as a money-saver! Takes a little moo ah at the outset even if you make them or buy them second hand, but over the long run it will save ton$ of cash. Tons. Good luck with the journey into motherhood. It is the best.
You forgot to add in the hospital bill ! 🙂 LOL
I love your blog!

Hi Andrea,
Have you seen this site yet? http://www.29diapers.com/ She's doing a Top 10 series now about saving money on baby's first year, and even compiled a ton of info into her book. She might even send you a copy for review and giveaway. Just a thought 🙂
Our biggest ways of saving money that first year were breastfeeding (free food!) and gently-used or homemade everything.
Best wishes to you in your final days!
Your kid will be much happier when you can write the check for college or help them start a business than knowing they had the coolest sleeper or stroller! Most of the toys you ever bring in the house will be played with upon arrival and then pushed aside. (I actually scrapbooked the few toys that were well played with!). Clothing fits for such a short time it makes no sense to buy anything new–but don't begrudge the gifts of super cute impractical shoes or dresses–it's just a way for the buyer to enjoy your happiness, too!
I found one town-wide yard sale where every year for 4 years I got my daughter Limited Too and similar clothing for PENNIES since the twin girls in that family were a little older. Sadly they had a growth spurt and that ended!
Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive bundle of joy! I enjoy your blog very much and you are in my thoughts and prayers as you await your precious little girl. I just wanted to mention that your philosophy that less is more goes right along with a wonderful book I'm reading called Simplicity Parenting by Kim John Payne. I love the subtitle: Using the extraordinary power of less to raise calmer, happier, and more secure kids. And I would add calmer, happier, and more secure parents as well!
It's so refreshing to see a new mother with such a level head! I don't have children (yet) but I see my friends' houses overrun by kids STUFF that only a fraction of which gets used. I've just started changing my shopping habits to include mostly consignment and second hand stores and kijiji/craigslist. There's something thrilling about finding something second hand that is awesome and cheap.
I sure wish I'd had your blog to read when I was pregnant! We spent sooo much money on things that we only needed just a few months. Tough thing was, I had maybe one friend who was a new mom, and no one to borrow from. Since then, so many of my friends have had babies that I've been the one to pass things on, let borrow, etc. At least I can do my part there, right? 🙂 You have just started out your life on the right foot by trying to save so much money! I can't wait to hear of your baby's arrival too! I keep checking!
Love, love, love this, Andrea! I'm so proud of you…and pleased! You've given me a good goal challenge. I'll let you know how I do! 🙂 You've also proved anew to me the value of Craigslist and garage sales. I'm continuing to pray for you as you await the birth of your little girl. I'll be looking forward to hearing of her arrival!
Borrowing is the best! Especially because lots of the things babies need are really only useful for a short amount of time. I had to laugh at people telling you that you wouldn't be able to spend any money on you when the baby is born. I found that to be true for me, but only because if I have money to spend I would much rather buy something cute for my little girls than for myself – it's just more fun! I really don't think you need a ton of maternity clothes, unless you have to go to work in an office or something. I made do with a few clothes that my mil bought me and then second hand or borrowed clothes as well.
Woo-hoo!! Loved this post!! I've gotten so many awesome deals on kids clothes, toys and baby gear from garage sales! It's so not worth paying full price in stores 🙂 Can't wait to meet your sweet girl!!

I hope the diapers work out for you! In our experience different diapers work best for different body cuts. Hope it won't be a big hassle for you! We love Pampers. 🙂
Mae @ WoFin Blog11/08/2011
Great to hear you were able to achieve this on such a small budget. Your nursery is beautiful and looks like you have plenty of stuff, I think many people hear $300 and go "there is no way I could get the amount of stuff I need for a baby", but your posting has definitely proved its possible. Another amazing way to save money as the baby gets older is to look at this link for baby food cost comparison. http://wofin.wordpress.com/2011/11/08/ways-to-save-on-baby-food/
best wishes to you & your family
I wish all this (Craig's List, internet couponing, etc) had been around 10-20 years ago when I was having babies! You did great!!
That's great starting out for under $300. There is no reason to buy everything brand new especially the stuff that your baby uses for a short time. I love receiving hand me downs from someone who is looking to get rid of an item that I need and then I pass it on when I'm done with it. Its so great when you know your family is complete and you don't have to hold onto even the basic items. For us it is the sports, medical/dental and groceries bills that are our biggest expense. I cut as many corners cost wise with the groceries but it is the accidents and fillings that have been our struggle. And for that I say BUBBLE WRAP should be breathable so I can create clothing in it. I don't know what to do other than buy used with the sports especially since my son likes the more expensive ones. If he wasn't one of the best BMX racers for his age group in the state it would be a no brainer. Things to look forward to….. Hope that baby comes soon!
We bought mostly used and got a lot of gifts via our baby shower. There were some things we wanted new (i.e. carseat and pack n play) or had no option of sharing (we were moving across country and having kids at the same times as our friends), plus we knew we wanted several kids. We're having our 3rd boy and are really getting use out of our baby clothes, gear, and maternity gear! We cloth diaper and are still using those too. I have some issues with sharing with friends. I loaned my friend my nice- and favorite maya wrap. I received it as a gift brand new and she lost it. She says she'll get me a new one before the baby comes but can't find the same one online. 🙁 So I'm not loaning anymore. When we're done having kids I'll find somebody- or somebodies- to give most of our stuff too.
I did buy a few things with our first that most people recommended. I.e. the boppy- complete waste for us. I use it to prop up the baby now since we already have it but I definitely didn't need it. I also bought a new manual breast pump and I was definitely okay with spending the money to have a new one- I didn't need a fancy or expensive one, but the simple one worked for the occasional time that I need it.
I am always shopping ahead for bigger kids clothes- i.e. right now size 5 boys and up- I look at consignment stores and on the clearance racks. I've spent $50 for his size 5 wardrobe and that includes a new pair of tennis shoes and a winter jacket. He only needs a few summer things that I didn't catch on clearance, but that would be good bday gifts for him.
For us the most expensive part of having kids is the medical bills- and someday, when they are all teens, grocery bills 😀
Karen @ Abundance on a Dime11/08/2011
I've never understood the whole "babies are so expensive" thing. I breastfed and cloth diapered my boys and bought everything else secondhand. We spent very little on them for their first few years of life! For baby wipes, we just cut up some old washcloths and filled an old plastic container up with warm water whenever it was time for a diaper change (the used washcloths just went in the diaper pail with the diapers!) Babies don't care about "stuff", they just want to be loved 🙂
Although you did a lot of savings, once you have your baby with you, you´ll realize that she´ll only need three things: new diaper when needed, breastfeeding & mom´s arms.
If you practice the attachment parenting, you could sleep with her with no need of a new crib (only for mothers who want ;).
Later, when she grow up, you should study about Montessori, she was a doctor that found that kids don´t need too much toys or the most estimulating because they can develop the same with usual things.
My kind advice: you should read about Dr. Sears and Attachment Parenting. (pleeeasee do not do the Gerber Method or similar, it´s cruel)
I am from Argentina and i hope you could understood me ;).
Best Wishes!!
This is great.. we did alot of this when we had our kids. One problem on the diapers though. Both our kids developed a reaction to certain brand of diapers. SO we could only buy one brand.. So you might want to pick up a couple of small packs of different brands.. just in case.

Andrea – thank you so much for posting this! I ADORE your blog since I stumbled across it on Pinterest a month ago and I check it religiously! I admire your love for organizing, sanity, family and God. This post is perfect for me since my husband of 3 months and I just found out we're pregnant – due in July! We are definitely on a budget and without reading this I never would have thought to check garage sales and Craigslist!
I am obsessed with little baby shoes and whether we have a boy or girl I would want to splurge on those! (Baby shoes are so cheap anyways.) But my mom and I already have plans to check garage sales this spring!
Thanks for posting this! Can't wait to see pictures of your little girl! 🙂

yay — congrats Chalyse!
oh, and about the baby shoes — you'd be surprised how many you can find at garage sales for $0.25!! Since they'll only wear them for a month or so, it might be worth it to get some of them used!
Have fund shopping and finding great deals for your baby 🙂
Since our daughter and grand daughter lived with us for about a year, we bought a lot of what she needed. One of our best deals was the like new (just needed washed) Graco stroller for just $10 off Craigslist! We also got the cutest bassinet for just $15 from a garage sale and a wonderful wooden play structure for just $50 from Craigslist! Ga/grandmpa added a safe way for 19 month old Addy to climb to the slide so she can do it herself and we added a toddler swing too but it was a wonderful steal!!
I try to purchase used toys from the local 2nd hand store (it's a chain and they have very particular standards, which I love!)
Our biggest struggle is the diapers…. I try to use coupons but they are few and far between AND the stores here in the Metro Detroit area don't allow multiple 'deals' on one purchase.
Our son and his wife are now expecting and we'll be holding on to everything from Addy so they can use it! It's exciting to me to be able to save money and to be frugal!!
LOL! In defense of the wipes warmer:
I have one for the sake of MY hands, not my baby's bottom! That's right, I didn't want to be sticking my hands into cold water every time I needed to wipe my kid's behind. We use cloth wipes, and I keep them in the warmer filled with water. The cloth wipes are made to size — about 3″ x 7″, so they fit in the warmer without folding. I love the wipes AND the warmer!
Very frugal (which I am)and very green (which I'm not). But it works for us! And someone gave me the warmer for free– even better!
Much luck and good wishes for a healthy baby. LOVE your blog, and can't wait to hear your good news.
You are so right! A baby doesn't know the difference between new and used items. We bought used items whenever we could then resold or donated them when we were finished having kids.
The boots in your first picture are so adorable!
Annette W11/08/2011
We save in a different way too…in addition to used/borrowed items.
Neutral! We didn't learn the sex of our three children…so for those baby showers with the first child, we got lots of neutral clothes and accessories. (And no, a crib quilt and bumper are not needed.) So all three children have gotten great use out of them. No need to buy new crib bedding…the farm animals work for boys and girls, though I love your simple ones!

Why You Should be Eating More Raspberries
At Spanish Garden Berry Farm you can pick yourself fresh from the cane red raspberries and black raspberries. These jewels are delicious and good for you!
It may be somewhat annoying when raspberry seeds get stuck in your teeth, but this doesn't necessarily mean you should avoid eating them. Raspberry seeds are a source of dietary fiber, essential fatty acids and antioxidants.
Read below why!
Nothing quite tastes like summer more than a handful of fresh-picked berries. Red raspberries one of the most popular berries out there, shine like jewels in any dish from breakfast bowls to desserts to an array of berry baked goods. Don't let these berries mesmerize you with their bright colors though; these berries are jam-packed (jam, get it?) with phytonutrients and antioxidants. So, let's break it down and discover the health benefits offered by red raspberries and black raspberries.
Red Raspberries have a sweet yet tangy flavor bursting from tiny individual fruits that make up the raspberry as a whole. Because of this structure, raspberries are considered "aggregate" fruits. Among the 200 plus species, there are three basic groups of raspberries: red (most common), black, and purple. These three groups share similar nutritional profiles so pick whichever group is most convenient for you! Raspberries belong to the Rose family of plants along with apples, apricots, blackberries, cherries, peaches, pears, plums, strawberries, and even almonds are a distant cousin.
Nutrients in 1 cup (123 g):
Black raspberries are a dark berry similar to raspberries and blackberries. They are native to North America and can typically be found fresh in the month of July. You can use black raspberries in similar ways to red raspberries. They are an excellent snack and you can also use them in pie recipes and to top cereal. Black raspberries are higher in iron than many other fruits, with 1.4 mg per serving. This provides 18 percent of the daily value for men and 8 percent for women. Iron is essential for the formation of hemoglobin, which is the oxygen-carrier protein found in red blood cells.
With the perfect size for grab-and-go snacking, burst of juicy sweetness in each morsel, and health benefits galore.

So, how do you choose? Here are a few things to consider when you are looking to purchase an awning:
What purpose does the awning have?
Commercial or Residential?
Protection or Privacy?
Retractable or Stationary?
Outdoors or Inside?
Click to enlarge photo of styles and names
Smooth or Flat?
Canvas or Vinyl?
Commercial properties use both materials, where as homes typically use canvas.
New or Existing?
Complimentary or Contradictory?
Light or Dark?
All colours will provide shade, but only light colour will allow light to transmit through.
The majority or vinyl has a white underside, where as acrylic canvas is the same colour on both sides.
Welded or Extruded?
Powder Coated?
Framework is ground and painted at the welds to hide the blackness of welding.
Powder coating is an option that keeps the frame looking better over time. It is included on awnings with open ends.
Fabrics 3-10 Years
Awning 3-10 Years
Always check warranty and inquire about who will pay for labour if fabric must be replaced under warranty.
Smooth finished vinyl is the easiest to clean.
Flat finished vinyl and canvas require a bit more time and effort.
Awnings should not be over cleaned.
Minimum of every 2 years and Maximum of every 6 months.
Too much/improper cleaning can remove the factory protection .
This may affect your warranty and cause the awning to weather fast then it should.
Please remember to use professional services, including Emerson Exteriors , on both Commercial and Residential properties
Check with service provider to make sure products being used will not affect your warranty.

The Khumbu region of Nepal is one of the special mountain areas in the world. Your course begins with cultural immersion in Kathmandu, Nepal's largest city and one of the world's oldest cultural crossroads. While here, we will visit the ancient Buddhist temple of Swayambhunath, the Buddhist shrine Bodhnath, the Hindu temple Pashupatinath as well as the historic Durbar Square. From Kathmandu, we fly to Lukla and start our backpacking trip.
We begin the hike visiting the Namche Bazaar and Tengboche Monastery on our way up the Khumbu Valley, taking time to learn about the Nepali language, share time with the Sherpa people and discover the beauty of the Sherpa culture. As we continue on to the high point of our course at Kala Patar (18,192ft/5545m), we will visit the Himalayan Rescue Association clinic in Pheriche as a supplement to learning about acclimatization and other high altitude trekking considerations. Next, our travels will take us over Cho La Pass into Gokyo, from where we will fly back to Kathmandu. This course in Nepal is an excellent educational opportunity for students looking to safely and effectively lead trekking groups to altitude while learning about the unique culture of the region.
THE INSTRUCTORS AND GUIDES OF IWLS are widely recognized as some of the very best in their field and have practical leadership experience from around the globe. They are well trained and have an uncommon enthusiasm for sharing their skill and knowledge, borne out of a passion for outdoor exploration.
The International Wilderness Leadership Schools' educational model nurtures leadership development and creates an awareness of the guiding mentality that is essential for leading safe, fun adventures in the mountains. The combination of technical skills training, experiential education and practical leadership experience make the IWLS curriculum world class.
THE IWLS GENERAL CURRICULUM outlines the essential components for effective outdoor leadership. Here are a few points that your course will focus on.
- Environmental Ethics: As adventurers in some of the most pristine environments on the planet it is our duty to respect the natural world. All of our courses practice and teach Leave No Trace® principles.
- Leadership: Opportunities to lead the group will be abundant and you'll have the time to learn and practice multiple styles of leadership.
- Weather: Will the storm arrive in the next 12 hours or the next 48? Understanding weather patterns and trends will help you plan successful trips in a wilderness setting.
- Wilderness Emergency Procedures and Treatment: Learn how to effectively manage safe, efficient and timely backcountry rescues.
IWLS BACKPACKING CURRICULUM prepares students for exploration into remote, backcountry settings. Here are some points we'll cover on your course:
- Altitude Considerations: Hiking amidst the world's giants, we reach above 16,000ft. Learn how to recognize signs and symptoms of acute mountain sickness, and steps to take to avoid it. We'll also discuss the most effective treatment for all altitude illnesses: descent.
- Stoves and Campfires: The ability to repair a broken stove, make an emergency fire after being submerged in an icy river, and melt snow efficiently for water are key components for leading a group in the wilderness.
- Geology: From plate tectonics to granitic batholiths, you'll learn the history of the land you are exploring and how these forces create and influence the environment around you.
- Site Selection: Learn how to choose the appropriate terrain and identify hazards to facilitate a safe, fun time in the mountains.
IWLS INTERNATIONAL CURRICULUM is designed to provide students with a fundamental understanding of planning and leading expeditions in foreign countries. Here are just a few topics that will be covered:
- Cultural History: As visitors to this remarkable location, we place a premium on being respectful and learning about the local culture and history.
- Language Skills: The ability to ask directions, purchase items, and communicate on any level is an essential element of leading an expedition to a foreign country. Throughout the course, we'll develop our language skills through dialog and lesson plans.
- Trip Preparation: Logistics in a foreign country have the potential to be complex and tenuous. You'll take part in shopping at the local market, arranging transportation, and securing permits in preparation for your expedition to the Himalaya of Nepal.
EXPERIENCE LEVEL No previous experience is necessary for this course. However, with a desire to learn and an enthusiasm for adventure, you'll develop the skills necessary for a lifetime of wilderness exploration.
Included: transfers, hotels in Kathmandu, trekking permits, local transportation, park fees, porters and yaks, food on the trek or climb, group camping equipment, American instructor and Sherpa support.

This look for a Jack Ryan:Shadow Recruit promo was created using After Effects CC with MovieType For Element 3D, Optical Flares, Magic Bullet Mojo, BCC Film Glow and BCC Grunge.
The typeface is AkzidenzGroteskBQ MdCndAlt, which was converted to paths in Illustrator and customised to give the C more character. The paths were then copied and pasted to an After Effects Solid layer to be used as the source for Element 3D.
The animation is based on MovieType for Element 3D Wipe 01 with added keyframes for Element's Word Position Z parameter providing the gentle push in.
The material is MovieType For Element 3D Material 31, modified by turning on the 31 Color E and 31 Spec (Specular) materials.
The background is MovieType For Element 3D Background 30 with the material switched to be the same as the back bevel of the type object.
The default environment was switched from Default to Lobby Blurred and at this stage there was no other lighting in the scene.
The MovieType For Element 3D Light Rig provides an overall, slightly yellow illumination.
A second Point light was placed above the type, which helps the bevels pop and adds more depth.
Element 3D Add Lighting was set to Stylize. This adds a touch of blue variation which is picked up nicely in the bottom left and top right of the background.
Element 3D Glow at a low setting adds some subtle glow to the text.
Optical Flares Anthrax preset from the VideoCopilot Conspiracy pack was used for the lens flare.
Offsetting the rotation of the flare created some interesting, angled light streaks.
The Optical Flares layer was duplicated, with the XY Position adjusted to reposition the extra streaks. The Brightness was keyframed to start out brighter then have the flare fade out towards the end of the move.
Rampant Design Studio Dust was used to add subtle, realistic dust. Studio Dust includes many subtle dust clips that comes pre-keyed. Although I use a variety of effects to create dust, there's something about real dust that can't be emulated with an effect.
Once again Red Giant Software's Magic Bullet Mojo was used for the overall colour grade, working perfectly to give this a filmic look. The warm tones of the environment and light are complimented nicely by the cool, dark tones of Mojo.
Boris Continuum Complete Film Glow provides the soft, overall glow.
The look was completed using Boris Continuum Complete Grunge for some subtle Chromatic Abberation and Grain.
If you own MovieType For Element 3D click the download link to grab the bevel preset (JR.ebf) used for the title. Remember to copy it across to the VideoCopilot folder inside your Documents folder, then choose it from the Bevels list inside Element 3D.

Fasting plasma ghrelin concentrations 6 months after gastric bypass are not determined by weight loss or changes in insulinemia
Frühbeck G., Rotellar F., Hernández-Lizoain J.L., Gil M.J., Gómez-Ambrosi J., Salvador J., Cienfuegos J.A.
Metabolic Research Laboratory and Department of Endocrinology, Clínica Universitaria de Navarra, University of Navarra, Avda Pio XII 36, 31008 Pamplona, Spain.
Magazine: Obesity Surgery
Date: Oct 1, 2004General and Digestive Surgery Biochemistry [SP] Endocrinology and Nutrition [SP] Obesity Unit
Ghrelin is a gastric peptide with potent orexigenic effects. Circulating ghrelin concentrations are increased in obese subjects, but increase after weight loss. However, in patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP), a decrease in ghrelin levels has been reported. The effect of comparable weight loss induced by either adjustable gastric banding (AGB), RYGBP or conventional dietary treatment (Conv) on ghrelinemia was studied.
24 matched obese male patients in whom similar weight loss had been achieved by either AGB (n=8), RYGBP (n=8) or Conv (n=8) were studied before and 6 months after treatment start. The independence of ghrelin concentrations from body mass index (BMI) and weight loss was further analyzed in a group of patients with total gastrectomy (TtGx, n=6).
Comparable weight loss after 6 months exerted significantly different effects on plasma ghrelin concentrations, depending on the procedure applied (AGB: 424.6 +/- 32.8 pg/ml; RYGBP: 131.4 +/- 13.5; Conv: 457.3 +/- 18.7; P<0.001). Without significant differences in body weight and BMI, patients who had undergone the RYGBP exhibited a statistically significant decrease in fasting ghrelin concentrations, while the other two procedures (AGB and Conv) showed a weight loss-induced increase in ghrelin levels. Despite significant differences in BMI between RYGBP and TtGx patients after 6 months (31.9 +/- 2.2 vs 22.0 +/- 0.7 kg/m(2), respectively; P<0.05), both groups showed similar ghrelin concentrations.
The reduction in circulating ghrelin concentrations in RYGBP patients after 6 months of surgery are not determined by an active weight loss or an improved insulin-sensitivity but rather depend on the surgically-induced bypass of the ghrelin-producing cell population of the fundus.

Free download: A live performance of me singing Avinu Malkeinu (arr. by Janowski) (for women only)
We are currently in the aseres yemei teshuvah – the ten days of teshuvah from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur. It is an auspicious time for deep introspection and prayer, for being truly present in each mitzvah that we do, for focusing our thoughts on our relationship with G-d and how we can strengthen it in the coming year.
Since this year, Yom Kippur falls on Shabbat, we will not be singing the Avinu Malkeinu prayer. It's one of my favorite prayers, and has some of the most beautiful melodies, and I must admit, will miss it. I was thinking about what exactly it is that makes this prayer so powerful to me.
There are so many metaphors for our relationship with G-d. One minute we speak of Him as our father; the next, He's our spouse; then suddenly, He's our King.
I mean, it's a little confusing. Freud would have a field day.
But think about this. Which relationship do you think is most true? Which speaks to you more? Which best represents our relationship with G-d? Your relationship with G-d?
This piece that I posted a link to above, Avinu Malkeinu, is an expression of our relationship with G-d as both a king and a father. Our role oscillates between that of a faithful servant and that of a son or daughter.
Many think of the High Holidays as a time when we are meant to be filled with fear and anxiety. G-d is like the scary IRS Man coming to audit us, except this IRS Man knows us inside and out. He knows what's in the depths of our hearts. He knows what we've done behind closed doors. He is Judging us. He is Writing down all our deeds in meticulous detail. He's Sealing our fate for the coming year. When we think about this, we should be trembling in terror.
Imagine leaving your office at 5pm on a Friday and your co-worker telling you that the Scary IRS Man is coming to audit you first thing Monday morning. Even if you thought you had been "good," you'd still be filled with anxiety and fear.
But then you walk into your office Monday morning at 9am, and who do you see look up at you? It's your father. Who smiles at you and hugs you. Who wipes away your tears. Who always gives you the benefit of the doubt. With whom you share the deepest, most essential bond. Who is, on the deepest level, blind to all of your faults. Who knows you inside and out. Who sees you in your purest state. Who loves you.
It is true that G-d is our King. It is true that he is awesome (in the literal sense of the word). It is true that He judges us. But He does it as a Father. Whose love for us is unconditional, who wants, more than anything, a relationship with us.
To me, the most powerful words of this prayer are shema koleinu, "hear our voice." It is a pure calling out. It says, "I want to be close to you." Like a shofar blow. It's a cry that can only come from a child to a father.

Sound due to Vibrations
"Grasp one end of a straight spring made of hickory or steel in one end of a vise, as shown. Pluck the free end of the spring so as to produce a vibratory motion. If the spring is long enough, the vibrations may be seen. Lower the spring in the vise to shorten the vibrating part of the rod, and pluck it again. The vibrations are reduced in amplitude, and increased in rapidity. Continued shortening of the spring will render the vibrations invisible and audible; the are lost to the eye, but revealed to the ear." -Avery 1895

I've been using the Belladonna Bitch Fist toy so much recently I'm starting to be able to just straddle it and slide it right inside myself with no hands. In fact last night when I did that, it slipped it so easily and quickly I couldn't get a video. I'll have fun showing you when I do.
I was determined to see if riding the fist could make me squirt with the knuckles pressing in all the right places, so I used the wand with it and while it made me come thinking about when my Master uses his fist on me, I couldn't squirt.
How stretched I was afterwards made up for it though. My cunt is definitely starting to gape open nicely on Master's instructions.

My husband will never understand why I have so many pairs of shoes and does he even need to? He thinks its one of those 'Men are from Mars and women are from Venus' things.
The thing I love about shoes is that unlike your dress size your shoes will nearly always fit you. Well, that isn't strictly true. I went down a half size about five years ago when I lost over three stones doing an iron man triathlon in California. Yes, you read it right. I think I should document that story on here, maybe. It was my 50th birthday treat to myself!
I do have a purge every now and then but usually Mr B would always say I have too many but what is too many in his eyes is not enough in mine.
Here's some of my recent favourites and some I keep putting in my shopping basket on various sites.
These red shoes are a recent find on asos. Sadly, they are sold out but it was the first time I had come across the brand, Raid.
I was worried that they wouldn't fit. I'm a size 40 and this is one of those brands that only does full sizes e,g. 6 and 7. But they did fit me and I did go to the ball!
It's not a brand I would say is a new go to but there are the odd show stoppers I would definitely go for like these yellow tassel beauties.
Whenever I see anything in this shade of cobalt blue I'm like a magpie. These suede heels recently became mine … I wear them with black for work wear as seen here with my old bag from Fenwicks Newcastle and my Top Shop trousers that I just can't stop wearing. I first told you about them here.
I took the first pair back as stupidly I didn't take in that they were part of the M&S wide fit range. I was happy to find that the 39 fit perfectly. They also have their special footbed;
"redistributes your weight away from the balls of your feet, reducing pressure and increasing ankle stability, allowing you to wear your heels comfortably all day long. Insolia® is endorsed by the UK College of Podiatrists."
The price is even better at just £19.50 … style, comfort and budget friendly … well done Sparks. They also come in two other colours; yellow suede and silver metallic.
Feeling the love for these too from M&S at £25.00 that I just might have to have soon.
Air & Grace London is a fabulous brand that I learned about through hanging around on Instagram. I honestly could buy every single pair of trainers and espadrilles … they are what dreams are made of.
It's hard to choose but if I had to then these espadrilles would be top contenders.
They are priced £99.00 and £129.00 respectively. It's my birthday this month .. how lovely would it be if anyone reading this post might take the hint {hint, hint}?
Isn't it funny how once you start documenting things you 'see' things you didn't realise about yourself?
I clearly have a thing for ankle ties and bright colours in my choice of footwear at the moment.

SAN FRANCISCO – Google profit jumped in the recently ended quarter, but the leap fell short of market expectations as smartphone-centric lifestyles brought with them a shift to cheaper mobile ads.
Google shares whipsawed, losing ground and then gaining, as Wall Street came to grips with concerns about a shift to lower-cost ads on mobile devices and the technology titan's penchant for spending on "moonshots" like self-driving cars and Internet-linked Glass eyewear.
"At Google you have strong-willed leaders who tell shareholders they are interested in the long haul and want to invest in interesting long-term projects," said Forrester analyst Frank Gillett.
"I personally like the willingness of a company to swing for the fences, but it is not popular with Wall Street traders, to say the least."
Lifestyles are shifting from using laptops or desktop computers to get online to using smartphones or tablets in what Forrester refers to as 'the mobile mind shift,' according to the analyst.
Google has prospered on targeting ads served up with Internet search results on computers.
"As people increasingly embrace the power of the smartphone, they are using Internet search engines less and using apps more," Gillett said.
"It is a gradual shift but it is a profound one because it changes how Google reaches people; the whole model is shifting."
Innovating to endure
Google is devoting resources to self-driving cars; Glass eyewear; Fiber super-fast Internet networks, and a Project Loon aimed at delivering Internet to remote or rural areas using gear floating from high-altitude balloons.
While critics see such endeavors as Google straying from its area of strength in online search, some people view the moves as innovation aimed at keeping the company relevant to evolving lifestyles.
Google services such as search and maps could become features in autonomous car consoles or Internet-linked eye wear. More people using faster Internet could increase the ranks of people tapping into the Internet firm's products from YouTube to Gmail or cloud storage.
"Innovation doesn't happen if you manage to quarterly earnings," Gillett said.
During an earnings call, Google chief financial officer Patrick Pichette said it stuck to benchmarks when it came to deciding whether to continue backing projects such as Fiber.
"In other cases, when teams aren't able to hit hurdles, we take a pause and reset strategies as we did in terms of Glass."
This month, Google halted sales of its Internet-linked eyewear Glass but insisted the technology would live on in a future consumer product.
Glass allowed users to share pictures or video and search the Internet hands free. Google did not indicate when a general consumer version of the eyewear might debut.
"We think they are retrenching the technology to find a new use case," Forrester's Gillett said.
"If they were going to kill Google Glass, they would have killed it."
Google's Glass team became a separate company unit answering to Tony Fadell, co-founder of Nest.
Google bought the smart thermostat maker early last year in a multi-billion-dollar deal and brought the former Apple executive on board in the process.
Low-budget Internet users
The Internet colossus reported net profit up 41 per cent year-over-year at $4.76 billion in the final three months of 2014. The profit translates to $6.88 per share, below the consensus forecast of $7.11 per share.
Revenues were up 15 per cent in the quarter to $18.1 billion, also slower than anticipated as Google saw slowdowns in some of its online advertising metrics such as costs per click.
"Internet growth is slowing worldwide, and the new users who come online will have and command far less spending power, while gravitating towards local alternatives and apps rather than web models in their usage," said Jan Dawson at Jackdaw Research.
"Google really doesn't seem to have an answer for any of these."
Google shares fell immediately following the results in after-hours trade, but later recouped the losses and traded up more than a per cent to $518.10. Google results were dented by a strong dollar, reducing the value of income earned outside the United States.
Production problems also hurt its ability to meet demand for a new Nexus 6 smartphone, Google's Pichette said.— AFP

Going off to college is the time when you'll acquire some skills that might help you live more comfortably both during your studies and later in your life. One of those skills is managing money and developing financial responsibility. Since many students live on a tight budget, they need to acquire some budget-friendly habits that will help them cut any unnecessary expenses and even increase their savings. Here are some money-saving tips that will make your college life more comfortable and enjoyable.
Outline Your Budget Limits
By creating a budget every month, you'll know exactly how much you can spend and you'll be able to minimize the risk of exceeding those limits. If you've built up a nest egg or received a lump sum, you'll start spending your money more carelessly and eventually empty your account. However, if you place some restrictions on your spending, you'll be more careful with your money.
Make a List of Your Expenses
Take a sheet of paper and divide it into three columns – utilities, necessities and additional expenses. Since your utility bills are pretty much the same every month, you can set aside money for that first. Necessities include things like, food, shampoo, toothpaste, toilet paper and the like. Write down everything you can think of that you simply have to buy that month. The last column should be for any additional expenses like library and laundry charges, public transport passes, etc. By making this list, you'll be more aware of your spending and able to cut any unnecessary expenses that aren't on the list.
Look for Discounts
One of the perks of being a student is having discounts, so take advantage of it. if you want to go to the movies, find out whether you can get a student deal and buy the ticket at a lower price. The same goes for restaurants, bars, recreation centers, etc. In addition, you should collect coupons and look for special offers in supermarkets and other stores. This way, you might be able to get something you need for even twice as less money. You can also come across 3-for-2 offers for a range of products in supermarkets, so keep your eyes open.
Buy Food First and Learn How to Cook
Once you've paid your rent, you should go grocery shopping. Getting your monthly supply will prevent you from ordering a pizza because you don't have anything else to eat. In addition, buying in bulk is generally more budget-friendly, especially if you find special offers and discounts.
Another food-related habit that you must adopt is cooking. Eating in restaurants and ordering food is much more expensive than cooking yourself. Even college canteens can charge a lot for a meal that you can prepare for half as less. If you can't squeeze in cooking into your everyday schedule, you can pick a day when you'll cook meals for the rest of the week and then freeze them. This way, you'll avoid any unnecessary expenses like ordering food and always have a healthy meal at hand.
Take Advantage of Freebies
Instead of spending a fortune on a night out in a club, you should find out whether there's a fun event free of charge. If you live in a city, there are probably plenty of interesting events that you don't have to pay for. Feeling like going to the movies? See whether there's an open-air movie night somewhere in the city. Art exhibitions, concerts, book promotions and workshops are probably available for free – all you need to do is find out where.
Increase Your Income
If your parents support you, you should start making your own money. Not only will this help you maximize your income, but you'll also help them out while gaining valuable experience. A lot of students have part-time jobs that enable them to live more comfortably. In addition, any kind of working experience will make a difference for your future employment, regardless of whether you have a job related to your major. However, you shouldn't work too hard because you still have to study and attend lectures. A part-time job is a much better option for students than full-time employment. So, browse through freelance jobs online or job listings in newspapers to see whether there's something for you. If the money gets tight, you can seek finance advice and learn how to organize your budget better.
Get a Gift Card
A great way to limit your spending is getting a gift card. Since prepaid gift cards have a limited amount and can be used in particular stores, you'll have to manage your spending more carefully. You'll have to keep an eye out for discounts and offers in certain stores, plan your expenses in advance and stay within the card limits.
By adopting these budget-friendly habits, you'll develop financial responsibility that will enable you to live more comfortably both during your studies and later on in your life.

Heavy duty on steroids. But this thing!
Reviewed By Robert P (JEFFERSON, GA) Reviewed for a 2018 Toyota Tacoma —2/16/2018 11:49 AM
I bought this to compensate for the short end in my new Tacoma. I do a lot of woodworking, so I bought this to carry long boards and also a couple of kayaks. I looked at the other, much cheaper versions of the bed extender, but I was concerned those lightweight models might bend under heavier weights. I actually just returned from Home Depot after using this to carry 4 sheets of OSB, 22 sheets of 12' Hardy plank siding, and 2 1x8 boards 12' long. Worked perfectly! It's super heavy duty.

Your hear this everywhere you go: "Just heard about this new diet, it really works." Everyone gets excited, they don't eat carbs for two weeks, lose some weight. Eventually, put it back on, plus more, in a matter of weeks.
That has changed as pro MMA fighter and nutritionist Mike Dolce has created not just a diet plan but a way of living life, and I'm loving every second of it.
Dolce, a man who has been into nutrition his whole life, had started helping MMA fighters that struggle to reach their respective weights. Word got out quickly that this diet plan really works. Not only were the fighters making weight with no problem, but their performances in the cage were improving as well. Mike's phone started ringing off the hook with fighters from all over the country seeking his assistance with their nutritional programs.Now "The Dolce Diet" is a well known brand and it is offered to everyone. Whether you are a fighter or someone just looking to better their life and feel great about themselves, you are able to get ahold of Mike's diet program.
After the tournaments, I was afraid I could fall back into bad eating habits. I do eat a little more now but all healthy food and hold my weight between 183-185. It should be an even easier cut the next time a competition comes up.
If you still don't believe in this diet program, you can ask Mike Dolce yourself, yes yourself. You can personally ask Mike any question's on his twitter account, @TheDolceDiet. Dolce is very active on his Twitter page and is always answering all sorts of questions. I have become quite friendly with Mike on Twitter. He's a great guy and really knows how to stay positive and encourage people to reach their goals. Mike always asks how my progress is going and it's just cool that I can talk to the man who wrote this book at almost anytime of the day.
"The Dolce Diet" helping people lose weight and live longer !

Scrub Armor is a scrubbing tool for your kitchen that works much more effectively than an ordinary sponge or scrubbing cloth. Each rectangular tool is made from stainless steel rings that will rub virtually any mess off your cookware without scratching it. You can use this tool over and over again, as its material is durable, and it's also dishwasher safe. One square may even last you for years. Besides being gentle on your pots and pans, it is also gentle on a user's hands.
The cost of Scrub Armor is $10.00 plus $6.99 shipping. The special TV offer allows you to receive a second Scrub Armor by paying an extra fee of $6.99 for a total price of $23.98.
This price was obtained from the As Seen on TV commercial page which was taken offline due to Scrub Armor being discontinued. Scrub Armor may still be found for sale on Amazon or Ebay.
This price was obtained from the As Seen on TV commercial page which was taken offline due to Scrub Armor being discontinued. Scrub Armor may still be found for sale on Amazon or Ebay.
As you scrub a piece of cookware with Scrub Armor, the square's thousands of stainless steel rings will work independently, breaking up any stains on the item. These rings will even, without great delay, break apart and remove stains that come from burnt-on sauces or cheese. After they're finished their job, your cookware will appear smooth and clean again.
You'll be able to safely use a Scrub Armor square on various materials that are commonly used to make cookware, such as Pyrex, cast iron, and stainless steel.
Each square is bendable and flexible, so you can use it to access the hardest-to-clean corners in the deepest of pans that other scrubbers may not be able to reach properly.
Since these squares are made of stainless steel instead of a material of less strength, such as sponge or nylon, they won't wear out quickly. When one gets dirty, all you'll need to do is run it through the dishwasher, a practice that will not reduce its effectiveness.
Scrub Armor will not scratch up your hands and fingers as you use it, so you won't need to put on a pair of rubber gloves before you clean your cookware. You also won't need to rub your cookware as vigorously as you would when using less effective scrubbers, so your arms won't get as tired.
Some scrubbers will remove the stains from your cookware, but leave you with a bunch of unsightly scratches in their place. Fortunately, with Scrub Armor, you won't need to choose between having stained pots and pans or scratched ones, as this tool will remove stains without ruining a pot or pan's smooth finish.
Scrubbers made from flimsier material sometimes just aren't able to budge any globs of burnt-on cheese or sauces that happen to be on your pans. However, a Scrub Armor square will eliminate these in seconds, even if a stain is literally blackened.
One of these squares is the ideal scrubber to use when you're cleaning your grill, as it'll remove burned-on food from these, too. Each is small and flexible enough to be slipped between the bars so you can get rid of any debris in those somewhat hard-to-reach spots.
It would be nice if you could obtain multiple Scrub Armor squares in the same set, but these come alone or in sets of two. If you only have a solo one and you misplace it, you might have some difficulty with your cleaning tasks.
While some sponges and plastic scrubbers come in various colors, allowing you to add some brightness and variety to your kitchen, Scrub Armor only comes in one shade, silver.
Many people choose to use sponges to remove dirt from pots and pans, but these aren't as strong as Scrub Armor squares and end up falling apart after being used on difficult-to-remove stains. One sponge may only last you a few days' time, while one of these squares could last for years.
Steel wool is similar to stainless steel, but depending on what they're made of, steel wool may scratch up some of your pots and pans. Plus, it rusts more easily than stainless steel, and cleaning cookware with a rusty scrubber will just add more dirt to the dishes.
