My wife will buy anything. I mean anything. If it was ever on clearance at our local grocery store, we probably have it in our house. Me, on the other hand, I like to poke around and get stuff that we might actually use. One time, she found some electric scissors. They work really great. Here's what I think of them:

• It cuts coupon clipping time in half - Pun Intended!
• They are very sturdy - They cut through light cardboard
• It has a long battery life - We've had them for a few years and I don't remember changing the batteries
• Light-weight - Who wants to cut with super heavy scissors?
• Keep them away...
