It Costs How Much?

My old manual can opener is in its last stages. Old, rusty and not doing the job, so I decided while I was at the store to look into buying a new one. They had several different brands ranging from $10-$16 and I told my daughter "I'd buy an electric can opener before paying those prices for a manual one!"
Lo and behold what did I find but an electric can opener for $10! Grabbed that baby right up and it doesn't just open cans either. It also sharpens knives, has a tool for lifting pop tops, and even has a built in bottle opener. I'd say that's a winner!

I know its crazy what they want for a manual can opener and it is hard to find a good one that actually works. The electric one are way cheaper. Doesn't make much sense to me.

I could have gone to a dollar store for one but they are cheaply made.

Sounds like you got a winner. Maybe it was good your manual one was on it's last stages of life you got a better one with more things to use it for on it.

In fact, the price is not too high according the salary in the US.
