Here is a little timbit on how to cut coupons quickly...10 pages at a time!

What's it called? I'm on London Drugs website looking for it.

Nevermind. Found it. Here's a link for anyone else that's interested.

So very cool. I'm looking for it at a better price than 24.98 but coming up short at the moment.

Great video!


It looks like it's a Friskar's cutter, sometimes you can find them for $4-$5 at a dollar store (not always the Friskar's name, but same type of tool). You could use the Michael's weekly 50% off coupon, or check Walmart, or Joanne's (if you're close to the US). Essentially anyplace that carries scrapbooking supplies should have an item similar to this one. OP is right, it does save oodles of time and your fingers! I find it's faster and easier to cut single pages this way as well!

I read an article, that I don't neccessarily agree with, about this. Apparantly it is called "gang cutting" and for some strange and inane reason, it is illegal...

Whether anyone agrees with the validity of manufacturers concerns or not, it's an interesting read.

I read that too...I was going to link to this as well. I wouldn't do it anymore after reading this...never would have thought they would check for something like this, but obviously it is a problem.

tkx for the great post . it's very interesting and i always hate to see how ppl violate <strike>the coupon system</strike> any system

The gang cutting article was intersting, not going to change the way I cut my 6 & 7 coupons at a time. I hold mine and cut with sissors and each one still turns out different (the paper sides as I cut)
If you read the article carefully it was started as companies were mass cutting papers they did not buy, not consumers and this is just one way of trying to catch people that mass sell coupons (coupon selling is NOT allowed, just read the fine print on them) It said the smallest amount of "gang cut" coupons they rejected was 12, I have yet to cut that many. This kinda peeves me off, just because you're cutting in bulk doesn't mean you're abusing the system, and note it's not the method of cutting thats wrong, it's a possible sign of something else going on. All the store has to do is show proof of buying the proper amounts of that product. You cant tell me they dont have systems in place to do that quickly and efficiently.

I'm all for doing things properly, but this article did NOT say you can't save time by cutting multiple coupons at once, just to be aware of the problem at hand. This is not a law, and as a previous poster said, this is from the states as well.
I agree we need to be considerate, but lets not put down another SCer for posting her time saving techniques (not saying anyone has so far, just calling for reason)

lol sorry I'm getting worked up, not at anyone here, just at the article.
I think I need another coffee LOL

also wanted to say, great video!! you explained things awesome...I need to get paperclips!

That was a really interesting article. I never even thought of 'gang cutting', but I would never had thought it was illegal. I wonder if it is also illegal in canada, or if coupons can get rejected because of it....

Wow, I was just looking to find a easier way to cut them spend hours doing them...geshhhhhh. Not sure if I should stop using it but it is in america so I dont think it applies here....I think if it was addressed at the store I would stop.
