Last week I was reading Blogging Away Debt, the topic was kitchen gadgets. She got me thinking about all the kitchen gadgets I have that I don’t use and there’s a lot. Honestly I don’t know what I was thinking when I bought half of them.
The other day while doing some grocery shopping I came across this banana slicer and it cracked me up for some reason. Prior to my blogging and trying to payoff this mountain of debt, I bet I would have been a sucker and bought this little gadget. It’s priced at an unbelievably expensive $3.99! I can just hear the “old me” thinking what a great idea this would be for the kids to use…. Like the kids ever slice bananas and even if they did what’s wrong with using a butter knife?
I hope I’m evolving into someone that knows to avoid a dumb purchase when I see it.

I would just use a sharp knife with the blade slightly wet so it slides right through better. The problem with this device is it would be difficult to make a banana split with it because it only cuts it one way. Somebody thought this was a good idea and I’m sure people who buy it will regret it later.

Oh this is a new one that I’ve never seen before! I love gadgets, but now I make sure they will be useful (like my garlic press and citrus juicer)
