In fact Joanns has a 5 pack of 45 mm blades on sales this week for I believe $16.99 and it is also Military appreciation and if you have Military ID you get an additonal 20% off of regular and sale priced items!
Oh, will need to check this out...I am also guilty as charged about not changing them out. Changing them out before they are dull will also prolong the life of your rotary cutting mat. Talk about an expense there!
