Alternatives to Flylady "shop" items?

Moneybus

I love reading the Flylady threads on here and I also subscribe to the original Flylady websites which I get several emails from daily. The emails all rave about the Flylady shop items - purple rags / water bottles / rubba scrubbas etc. However they are quite pricey and add in shipping costs they dont end up being very moneysaving.

What are the cheaper equivalents? Eg are the water bottles just stainless steel thermos flasks (I presume as thermos flasks keep liquid hot they would also keep water cold?), are the purple rags just microfiber cloths?

Has anyone actually bought any of the original Flylady items and are they really as revolutionary as the website makes out?

I receive the emails too but flylady products are in the US so...

I use microfibre cloths and microfibre dusters and microfiber dusting mittens from...the pound shop.

I wish I could compare both the Flylady and the other stuff but microfibre cloth and dusters are great, even for polishing chrome and mirrors without any cleaning product.

Lakeland now sell rubba scrubbas and rubba sweepas. In the past I had bought items from the Flylady shop in the US but got fedup with the customs charges :eek:
