Day 88 - We'll Be So Glad To Be Consumers Again

Since we had 90 days of not buying anything new to endure, we've basically been taking every catalog that arrived and depositing it straight into the recycling bin. No sense in useless temptation. Since we're so close to being done, however, tonight I flipped through a baking catalog that arrived.

SO tempting!

First we have square biscuit cutters
for those who are unable--or have forgotten how--to cut on a grid.

Or how about a peanut butter and jelly knife for children who don't want to get peanut butter in the jelly
and aren't smart enough to figure out to use two knives.

Or how about an onion keeper?
Which seems to be an acrylic bowl with a lid that costs 3 times as much as an acrylic bowl with a lid that isn't an onion keeper.

Well thank goodness we'll be free to buy things again. Look what we've been missing!

I do hope the onion keepers come in varying sizes in case the size of one's half-onion varies? And what if it's 3/4 of an onion? Do they have a keeper for that?
