Clip Coupons Easily Without Scissors!
Often I will have a newspaper or magazine that has a coupon in it.
Since I rarely carry a pair of scissors with me, I thought of a diffferent way to clip the coupon without destroying it or the newspaper.

Layers.
Make sure to have several layers of the paper beneath the page you are clipping, and a hard surface.
Use a Medium-point Ballpoint Pen to Score the Paper Around the Coupon.
Note: NOT a gel-pen, pencil, or fountain pen! It's the roller and the oily ink that helps create the separation. A fine point ballpoint tends to tear the paper rather than score it.
Press firmly, but not too hard. Most paper that coupons are printed on has a "grain", so be extra careful when going "across" the grain.

Lightly Fold If Necessary and Tear Carefully.
The coupon should come out exactly on the lines you drew.
You Can Even Clip From the Middle of the Page!
Just lightly fold and pull the paper apart on a seam.
