Who here has heard of slice™ Safety Cutter - Great for couponers?! I just recently heard of it and I need to tell you my story about it!

I have been a bad girl lately and have been ignoring my coupons. Seriously. It has been a hassle for me to sit there and cut them out when I have been busy and as a result, my coupon binder was a mess. However, I was sent a sweet little item to review that motivated me to do something about it!

I was sent The Slice™ Safety Cutter (which is said to be Great for Couponers) to review. As mentioned, my coupon binder was a wreck so I seized the opportunity and decided to clean out and update the binder. That means I got rid of lots of expired coupons then had a lot of new unclipped coupon inserts to cut out. There were so many coupons to cut this morning!!! Usually when I do this, it takes a good hour and my hands are sore from the scissors when I get done!

This time however, I used The Slice™ Safety Cutter and it was SOOO quick and easy. I did make the mistake of putting the cutter directly on my wood tray table at first which means I cut into it a bit. Oops...after that I used my noggin and grabbed my clean cutting board and cut the remaining coupons on the cutting board with The Slice™ Safety Cutter. It cut my coupons out quickly and easily and "cut" my coupon clipping time in half! Best part: my hand was NOT sore at the end! Frankly I think this is a MUST HAVE for couponers! Really!

Now I know you moms out there are wondering how this blade could cut so well and NOT be a danger to the children around. Well, it has a "Finger Friendly Design" that makes it safe for kids-in fact my kids will be using this for future school projects instead of scissors! Look at my finger pressed against mine:

In that picture you can probably see that it is a small item as well, so you can easily keep it with you in a purse or wallet. Mine is tucked nicely into my newly cleaned up coupon binder:

I Love this product for so many reasons! It is safe for the kids, perfect for coupons and small so I can carry it with me. I imagine it would make scrapbookers as happy as it has made this couponer...in fact there are SOOO many things that would be easier with this sweet little product!

You should go check out the slice™ Safety Cutter! It is a worthwhile investment in my book! Highly recommend!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
