I have the oddest coaster for what ever cup I have with me at the computer desk. I wake up with coffee and the internet the way people used to wake up with coffee and the newspaper. I don't like having a saucer or real coaster beside me because I will be engrossed in reading and will set my cup down wrong and flip the saucer or coaster up or even off the desk. I need something really flat, water proof and non-tippable.
Solution: An empty Tide detergent mylar packet well rinsed out and dried. It was a sample I found out about through Savingadvice.com. I've had it here for months and it suits the purpose beautifully. No water rings on the desk, no saucers somersaulting to the floor.
