A couple of years ago, I decided to augment my CD collection, and started watching for specials at Barnes and Noble. Sometimes, when they have a coupon, even if there is not something I really think I want to buy, I browse. I rarely buy a CD full price. Usually between the coupon and the membership discount, I save enough that it is equivalent to taxes, sometimes, the savings is even more.
Well, one day at the counter I noticed a display of clear little plastic boxes, labeled
"CD opener" So, for a dollar, I bought one. It is a little round plastic device with a slit, about the width of a CD, that has a blade in the bottom. It slices through the shrink wrap. And, a second slice takes it through the sticky label beneath the shrink wrap.
I am old school. Give me paper, scotch tape, and string. I do not know the secrets of getting through shrink wrap and plastic bubbles and clam shells. That is very wearisome for me.
But this CD opener is great. It was a dollar well spent!
