Tonight as I prepared to be frustrated while I cut some sausage on my very basic cutting board, I tried to think of a way to make it stay in place. My first thought was non-slip shelf liner. But after our recent move I realized I have no idea where my roll is. 
Then it came to me - I could use my little rubber jar opener.
We’ve got two of these, and they’ve both been given to us as promotional items, printed with business logos like the ones you see above. I use these several times a week, from opening soda bottles to pickle jars. If I haven’t been able to open a bottle with just my hands, these have always worked for me.
I’m glad we have two, too, because my kids like to play with them for some strange reason. 
And one is usually missing or in the dishwasher.
Anyway, I stuck it under my cutting board and it worked great! If I’d had both available it would have worked better; I’d have stuck one under each end of the board instead of the one I had in the middle.
I imagine that it could work well for other items in the kitchen as well - under the slick cookbook from which you’re trying to make a recipe or under your child’s soup bowl at the table.
So next time some business is trying to give you a free jar opener with their logo on it, don’t pass it up! Let us know what else you use these for in the comments below.

Not kid related, but I use non-slip shelf liner (similar material to your jar opener) under my sewing machine and serger to keep them from falling off the table when I start sewing really fast.
I cut a piece large enough to cover most of my small table, so things like scissors, pin cushions and spools of thread don’t get shaken off the table either.

I use those little jar openers when the kids want to help me cook pancakes or anything else that needs to be stirred. The bowl stays still, so the kids can use both hands on the spoon.

Great idea, STL Mom! My kids are always playing with ours now, so I can’t ever find them even when I want to use them for their original purpose, LOL!

I’m sorry if this is off-topic, but I need some feedback. Do you think extended auto warranties a good deal?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.
