Welcome to The Check-Out Line, where I review products (and services)
that are designed to make your life easier. I give you my opinion and
my opinion only. You decide for yourself. You can see my past product
reviews here. This week, I'm reviewing the Keyfobber...
Everyone likes to save money, and some retailers (ok, a LOT of 'em) offer you the opportunity to get coupons, save at the checkout, and accrue points by enrolling in their loyalty programs. Typically the process involves forking over a little bit of personal information and in exchange you get a little barcoded key tag that you keep on your keyring so it's always handy when you're shopping. Cool, right? Sure, it makes sense.
Until you collect so many of the key tags that your keys start looking like a sea urchin and the tags begin getting in the way of accessing the keys. Mmmm... not so good.
Purpose: The simple little Keyfobber corrals all your pesky key tags and locks them up tight until you need one. Makes your keyring a lot less bulky and unwieldy. I love the word UNWIELDY.
Pros: First, your key tags are transformed from a bunch of "loose ends" into a single unit that hangs from your key ring. Second, it's easy to access the tag you want when you need it at the checkout counter.
Cons: I can't think of any at this time. If I do, I'll be sure to make an addendum here, but I can't imagine what it would be. It's a simple solution to an aggravating issue, so what's not to love about that?
Suggested Retail: $3.99! Seriously. Four bucks! They come in black, pink or grey and there are a few specialty designs for a little more. Plus, as a special promo right now, if you buy three, you get one free. Aaaaand, as an added bonus, for my blog readers only, for the next TWO WEEKS (until June 29th) when you buy three, you get TWO free. Just enter the text "Monica Ricci Catalyst Organizing Promo" in the Instructions To Merchant section of the checkout page on PayPal.
Value: I think it's a GREAT value. I've been using mine for quite a while (I have NINE key tags) and everyone remarks about it when they see it. Just this week, the lady at my mechanic shop asked me where she could get one. Als0, as a personal aside, I totally dig that they're made in America. :)
Where to Buy: You can buy directly from the Keyfobber website.
