I saw something similar on Reddit and thought it would be interesting to see what the CAG community says.

Let's start this thread with, say, items 25-dollars (USD) or under.

I'll start with BreathRx Tongue Scrapers. A three-pack for $7.11.



I have used them for almost 10 years. And I never travel without one. Just one of those inexpensive, everyday items that have become a part of my daily routine.

just brush your tongue with a normal toothbrush.

Duct tape and WD-40. That shit fixes EVERYTHING!

Goo Gone. Great for removing glue residue found on cases (I'm looking at you, Gamestop). One bottle is like a lifetime supply.

Toothpaste Tube Rollers (like $1 on meritline)

Lint Brush

A set of socket wrenches: $10 from Amazon



A set of alan wrenches: $10 from Amazon



A set of screwdrivers: $10 from Amazon.



EVERY house should have these things (plus a bunch of other tools). [Not necessarily these exact items but definitely a set of each.]

Underpants.

Netflix subscription and a one hitter.

Haha. When I was a freshman 3 years ago, I knew would need some tools, considering my dad and I work construction and basically survive on our tools. So I went to Walmart and saw a 200-something piece tool set about the size of a drill box. It included metric and standard sockets, wrenches, Alan wrenches and like 40 different screwdriver bits. All for only $15.

So I reccommend Walmart for anybody who needs the above. But I'd agree with Javery, you HAVE to own some tools. (I would also say a tape measure. There's nothing worse than not having a tape measure around.)

Also, after recently buying one, I'd say a battery charger and rechargeable batteries should be on the list too. We've all still got things that use AAs and AAAs, so we might as well save a few bucks.

Condoms or zip lock baggies and rubberbands.

A plunger!

Vicoden. Preferably 7.5/750 mg. Or a bottle of cheap booze.

Batteries
Bottled Water
First Aid Kit
Flash Light
Non perishable foods
Shotgun
Bullets
Wooden stakes
Torches
Gasoline
Matches
Sleeping bags
Pillows
Condoms
Toilet paper

Toilet paper.

There are always about 3 critical times a year where I find that I need a pair of pliers.

A printer. I don't understand how someone could have a computer and not have one.

George Foreman Grill. Kind of a pain to clean out the grease, but it's compact and works great on burgers.
