Dumb as Paint

I'm currently painting my kitchen.
I have a regular 9" roller that I use for walls and a smaller 4" roller that I use for this and that.
A 3-pack of 9" rolls cost $9.97.
A 2-pack of 4" rolls cost $4.97.

After I got home and actually looked at my receipt and comprehended what just happened, I soon realized that I can just buy 9" rolls, cut them in half and then I would have a 6-pack of 4" rolls for $9.97 -- thereby saving $5.oo

I'm not poor or anything, but I understand the concept of value.
I would say this is the last time I shop at Lowe's or buy Shur-Line Premium Select rolls, but I know that'd be a lie. I'll sure show them!

Pardon my ignorance--I wasn't raised by a handy guy like Frank... How do you chop a roller in half? You can't just use scissors or something, can you?

i would use a saw if i were to do so. or maybe a sharp knife.
