    Something to Find for Several Rooms in Your House(s)

    What is something you have found or think would be reasonable to find while scrapping where you could have one or more in several rooms in your house (or houses). I'll start:

    Ceiling fan
    AM/FM radio
    Floor standing fan (the ones that are about 3 feet tall)
    Flashlight

    I have 2 18 gallon tubs full of light bulbs out in the garage. I haven't bought a light bulb in 10 years. Every time one burns out, I just go out and grab two or three from a tub & make sure they're the right wattage & put 'em in. I say 3 or 3 because sometimes one of my free bulbs is burned out.

    It's not a huge savings, but it gives me a grin every time knowing that it was a free bulb.

    For those long cold winter nights when there's a blizzard a chamber pot would be nice.
