POTW: Time Saver Plastic Cover

2 years ago, I wrote this: (titled: I Hate PLASTICS!!!!)

Don’t tell me you don’t.. because I won’t believe you. I really really hate plastic. It can always break my day. It can ruin my life and it brings out the the worst in me. Whenever I encounter plastic, I curse, I think of how stupid I can be.. I blame myself for letting plastic ruin my day. I blame myself for allowing everything.. I blame myself for not listening to my instinct..

Does it ever happened to you? When you are in doubt and yet you go on. Your instinct telling you otherwise but you just go on. And then.. you realized, your efforts are turned into waste.. You just realized that whatever you do, you just can’t fit in everything? And then you blame yourself.. why does it have to happen to you when in fact you could have done something to prevent it.. why you?

After that article, it was never the same, I learned from mistake.. that one meter of plastic cover can over 8 books..

But this year was different, specially when I saw this:

How can I resist the TIME SAVER, time saving, zero waste description?!? It was so darn hard! Not to mention that these plastic covers are cut specially for books.. so I just bought 4.. that’s 29 PhP per roll (not bad huh, considering one meter of plastic cover is at 25 hP)

The verdict?

As you can see in the photo, it’s a bit big to cover a book.. well that’s for someone who only allow an inch extra when covering books, if you’re on the generous side, the size is perfect.

A roll is 5 meters by 13.5 inches and it can cover 10 books, for regular sized notebooks, it can cover 20. Comparing it to a one meter roll of plastic cover that can cover 8 books (at 25 PhP), obviously the Time Saver plastic cover is much better at 29 PhP and can cover 10 books. Not to mention that, the Time Saver being pre cut that way takes the hassle of bringing home a long roll of plastic cover that might bend along the way. And of course the fact that cutting time was lessen.. talk about saving!

Oh I wish I had known about this product a few weeks ago.. mas maaga ko sana na share sa inyo..

anyways for those not done with covering the books yet, I highly recommend this product.

We bought it at National Bookstore.

2 years after I wrote this.. I discovered that Time Saver Plastic Cover now has 3 variants:

• plastic cover for notebooks (writing, composition, spiral notebook)
• plastic cover for college notebooks
• plastic cover for books

at nagmahal na din sya!!! from 29Php, ang cover for books e 42.75 na siya! Siguro nagmahal din ang plastic cover no? 

But I am still going to use this brand.. mga inay!! 30+ books at 30+notebooks and kailangan ko i cover this year!!! aruguy!!
