Re: Common household items you DON'T have

Strongly scented laundry detergents; dryer sheets.  They are a no-no.  ............. BTW, I need a new bag of rubber bands from the dollar store.  I can't walk by a rubber band on the sidewalk, lol.

Re: Common household items you DON'T have

In my whole life, I've never thought to buy stationery items.

The only rubber bands I've ever had, came in wrapped around celery or green onions.

It drives my sister crazy when she visits: 'How can you not have a pen, or even a scrap of paper to write on???'

LOL!

 

But, I DO have tools!

We don't have a toaster oven.  DH would like one, I probably would, too, but I don't have extra counter space left.

 

I'm always in need of more rubber bands, I use them all the time but they disappear.  I've caught the family tossing one after using it.  WHAT!  Put it back in the box to use again Woman Surprised


@Noel7  YES! I slways recycle and save  the lives of many rubber bands!

My son tells me I have no food in the house. Because I have no junk food anywhere, he says there's nothing to eat.

I don't have a "baseboard buddy" as seen on info-mercials on TV, but I will probably buy one, one of these days.  Any product that promises to help me clean more quickly, I may eventually buy.  And many of those I do buy work.

 

The problem with the Mr. Clean eraser and baseboards is that I have to scrub with it.  Smiley Happy  Apparently with baseboard buddy, I can just waft a wand downward and scrub the scuffs away.

 

 


This sounds like a magic wand...

Re: Common household items you DON'T have

I have everything. And I mean everything. Ever since my spinal issues sidelined me for days on end, I got in the habit of stocking up in case I couldn't get out. Now it's a little embarrassing. Looks like we're preparing for the apocalypse, lol. 

 

We recently downsized so I'm trying to use everything up and not buy so much.
