Cricut money saver!

All of my cricut mats have been very well used up. I have washed and re-adhesived them several times. I went to Michaels only to find the 12x24 mats. I needed one tonight so I bought them. They come 2 to a pack for $15.99. The 12x12 mats were $12.99 for a 2 pack. Once I got home I realized that all I had to do was cut them in half. Then I had 4 12x 12 mats for only 3 bucks more! Why have I never thought of that before! So simple and so cost effective!!
