I purchased this on a Lunchtime Special for 13.99.  It's a package opener and a mini opener.  Amazon carries it too.  I was using scissors to open packages, so this is a nice replacement.

I'll have to think about it later but I just wanted to remind everyone if you're an Amazon Prime member, Prime days is the middle of this month. I think it's the 16th and 17th. No better place to find gadgets than Amazon!

@JoyFilled Warrior I just bought a Clorox grout brush set from Target to use not only on the grout in my shower but it looked like it would work to clean out the corners in the window sill track of my windows. I've struggled with getting a wet paper towel in them to clean the dust and dirt out. Well, I tackled this yesterday and it was a success.  Best $7 I've spent in a while, lol.

Grabbers are fantastic, I'll look for the one which can fit in my ourse.

Often I use long and wide spatulas to help getting items from a shelf.

 

Extra long shoe horns!

Not to hijack this thread but in addition to gadgets if we could expand alternative uses for items, such as @Alsace Gal mentioned in her post about the shoe horn, we might learn we already have problem solvers on hand.

Nothing like the good ole corkscrew.  I make my husband coffee every morning and he opens a bottle of wine every night.  

 

I know how to use it, by why should I?Woman LOL
