Instead of a $20 dollar Badger paint mixer go to IKEA and pick yourself a $5.24 dollar milk frothier. Just remove the spring.

2AA batteries are not included.

You cheapskate! :shock:
Mind you, if you take the spring off as I suggested before you mix paint, you can add it again for frothing duties :grin: Less to clean! 8-)

yup, I even use mine without a battery to save on having to replace it when it dies.

I do not know the conversion of canada dollars into pounds. I think a pound is more than a CDN dollar?

Is that just using the equivalent of a stick liken to a spoon would work?

I had to replace the battery in my camera just recently... but tried to take one more set of pictures before doing so....haha even though the screen

said "replace batteries".

But these dollar store reading glass is not saving any money. The arms keep breaking off at this rate after buying 10-12 of them I should buy a drug store

brand and save on trips to the dollar store and wear reading glass with only one arm until i make the trip....ugh!!

Wrap some duct tape around the earpieces near the lenses part and then be a little gentle when putting them on & taking them off :)
Also keep an eye on the little screw, they do work loose.
