    Plumbus! The all purpose home device. I use mine multiple times a day, you definitely can't survive without one.

  • syousef on 15/05/2017 - 18:08

    The real list is a short list:

    • Oxygen

      Light's- Electronic product
      Doors- If I add this then more people with come up with suggestions like - Oxygen, brains, house, butt, sofa, chair.
      Triple-breasted Whore of Eroticon Six- No comments.

      • TheBoyFromVenus on 16/05/2017 - 07:45

        A lot of watches today are electronic, and it is on your list.
        No doors, but mattress and sheets are fine?
        Modern ATM cards have electronics.

        • TurkishDelight on 16/05/2017 - 12:27

          I removed ATM cards. The door is already in the house and you don't have to go and buy a new one like a mattress.

        • TheBoyFromVenus on 16/05/2017 - 13:17

          There would be more doors in a house than mattresses. Doors are more common.

      Yes, I will add thanks. Atm Cards.

      • Shwayne on 16/05/2017 - 13:50

        Modern day credit cards are electronic.

  • iridiumstem on 15/05/2017 - 19:07

    Cutlery, frying pan, knife?

    • TurkishDelight on 16/05/2017 - 03:27

      house, butt, sofa, chair?

      No thanks.

      • iridiumstem on 16/05/2017 - 10:22

        You wanted a list, those were the things that I left out when I moved into a furnished place.

        • TurkishDelight on 16/05/2017 - 12:29

          Sorry If I sounded like cocky and okay I will consider it.

        • iridiumstem on 16/05/2017 - 17:08

          @TurkishDelight: If I sounded defensive, that's not what I meant to do. I kinda cut to the point when I use phone to comment and I realised that I may have sounded bit defensive.

          Anyways, so what's the theme of your list? I kinda get that it's every day item, but it seems to be a subset of that.

          If it is by how long they last (so things that you need to replace often are on the list), I get the feeling that mattress shouldn't be on there.

          If it is by what you carry, again mattress.

          So can you specify what you want for the items to be in the list?

        • TurkishDelight on 17/05/2017 - 14:34

          @Oversimplified: Nothing concrete but I don't want bulky items to consider. I agree that mattress should not be on the list. However, what I meant with the title was the thing that everyone uses like blanket, belt, wallet.

        • fruxo on 17/05/2017 - 18:46

          @TurkishDelight:
          You are not making any sense. You add things like comb, belt and nail clippers. All of which are used by LESS people compared to many other things you discarded, like mattress. You need to define a strict boundary as it's currently just random items you've picked, many of which are clearly NOT used by everyone.

          Take belt. Many men use it, maybe even a majority, but far from everyone. More importantly, if you get a group of women together, the majority would NOT wear one. I mean, how many dresses has got a belt for example? Then you might as well add hand lotion and makeup etc.

  • gimli on 15/05/2017 - 20:22

    baked beans - when you need some gas

  • Plug on 15/05/2017 - 20:42

    Is this a serious thread? The list must be endless. OP - why are you asking for this?

      Like I said

      I am making a journal. I am making a list of everything that comes into my mind. Just like I made a list of best cars you can buy for every budget (in my opinion). I just like to write something these days and making a journal is cheap and exciting.

  • congo on 15/05/2017 - 23:46

    Next, you should put the best value product (brand/cost/where to buy it) for each of these essential items.

    What's the point of this?

    • Euphemistic on 16/05/2017 - 10:45
      +4

      I'm a bit sad that I have read this thread. I was trying to find a point, maybe it is an opportunity to import crap loads of the items on the list cheap and make a killing on eBay.

      OP: Just write down everything you touch each day. If you don't touch it again tomorrow cross it off the list because it is not an everyday item.

      I'm also struggling with nail cutters, scissors, lighter being everyday items. Maybe weekly?

      • ronorboris on 16/05/2017 - 10:54
        +1

        I think you could be spot on. "No Electronic Items" yet a phone case is included? Sounds like a set of criteria for items to sell rather than a real list of items you'd use every day. No chemicals and food due to import/sale restrictions, I bet?

        Everyone who answered just did this guy's marketing survey.

      • TurkishDelight on 16/05/2017 - 12:36

        @Euphemistic haha OKay.

      Special K ?

      • TurkishDelight on 16/05/2017 - 12:49

        I like Nutri-grain and just right with blueberries though. But still a food item.

  • Munki on 16/05/2017 - 11:50

      5 is optional if you get twist tops.

    Dwelling?

    … except the homeless

    Did anyone mention toilet (any form)?

    • forumninja on 16/05/2017 - 19:46

      I don't think OP wants anything fixed permanently or semi-permanently. So toilet and possibly toilet seat are out of the question. Toilet brush may qualify since tooth brush is in the list.

  • forumninja on 16/05/2017 - 19:36

    Dental floss

    • TurkishDelight on 17/05/2017 - 14:37

      Chemical? on floss.

      • forumninja on 17/05/2017 - 16:50

        You can get unwaxed floss, basically a piece of string.

    Your heart. Without it you're dead.

  • sbot on 17/05/2017 - 10:56

    Certainly not a belt, I can't even think of the last time I worse a belt. I think you're really thinking about yourself, and not what 'everyone' uses every day. Not everyone has access to a blanket and pillows. Not everyone bothers using a case with their phone. Not everyone has a phone! And not everyone wears the same fashions as you (belt and socks? I don't have any clothes that require a belt, and wear sandals most often that don't require socks.) Broaden your thinking a little and think about the lifestyles of people outside your demographic.

    • TurkishDelight on 17/05/2017 - 14:40

      Yeah, I think I wrote the title wrong. Can you suggest me what the title should be then?

      • sbot on 18/05/2017 - 11:09
        +1

        Well, it depends on what you're trying to achieve with building your list. Do you really want to find out what 'everyone' uses every day? Or are you looking for something like 'what does the average Australian use every day', or 'what are the most commonly used daily items for Ozbargainers', etc? Define the goal of the list better and you an then more clearly target what you want to learn.

    Someone who enjoys makings lists on a daily basis would have a List.

    Add that to your daily list lol

  • PAPower on 28/05/2017 - 13:21

    HANDKERCHIEF!

    I don't know why it is so underrated.

    Maybe its a European kind of thing. Also, having a singlet under your shirt should be necessary. Apparently almost no one has this concept of fashion?!?

    • cupcake on 30/05/2017 - 15:26

      We just don't want to carry our own snot around with us anymore.

      This isn't Europe. It's Australia, and it's too bloody hot to wear too many layers. Especially in the Summer.
