I was reading the things you keep in your purse thread and someone mentioned safety pins. We have no safety pins in our house. I never use them.
Other common things that I'm sure everyone in the universe has, but we don't:
safety pins
rubber bands- hmmm.... we have 1.
iron
baking Soda/baking powder
needle and thread (well, my husband might have some stashed somewhere, but I don't know where if he does.)
Anyone else living without some of the daily "essentials"? I'm sure I have many more but can't think of more right now.

I think I have everything in my household.., almost.
i could never live without safety pins, sewing notions or baking supplies.
What I am missing is make-up, body/hand lotion, polyester clothing & bedding ( natural fabrics only) fabric softener and a radio ( except in my car)
if I lived alone, I would not own a TV and a million tools.

You should go on the show.

Oh man, you should come to my house. I have more band-aids than I'll ever use - every size and type. I don't know how it got that way, but it started with a big box of assorted sizes from Costco eons ago. Then I needed more that were fabric - in a couple sizes - because I hurt myself all the time and they stay on better when I am doing chores. It just snowballed, I guess.

@GinzTonic- too funny. I don't have any safety pins and only one rubber band, but we have 3,426,046 bandaids. I have no idea why.
A few months ago I noticed my husband had a bandaid on his finger. A Surfboard Barbie bandaid! I bought them because I thought they were cute, LOL.
