Lucky you! I'm still working on it.

Actually still have some, we emptied the last container into the cocoa bin a couple months ago.

You never know. I got a couple of cheap cutting knives for free a few years back and they had just been sitting in a box when all of a sudden we were forced to make pesach with limited access to buying new utensils....

We should also start a thread for:
Strangest/oddest thing you bought just because it was a deal
... and turned out to be useful!

A while back people bought oars.  Even though they didn't have canoes.

Well, I got those free button batteries last week. Still have no clue what they fit in.

A lot of car remotes use 2032 buttons

My key fob takes those. Yours may also.

Does the 25lb bag of salt have a spot on this list?

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

I've gotten so many free items from Amazon it would be scary to post them all.

But I found this to be oddly good for grilling and always got good comments

Got one, never used it, lost it.

But then corona happened and we sent the kids to the dollar store to buy new ones so they can turn all the oranges from school into orange juice. Unfortunately they do not work on apples.
I'm not who you think I am.

Ah but those were much better than the dollar store version! Probably...

Are you serious about this one?
Check out the reviews..
Lol, this guy.

Nice self defense product. May be a good grill iron

Never used it as a grill iron. Gave this to my wife with her new caddy. Comes with a little black case.

Recommended use - self protection. Has a few sharp edges and some heft. The ergonomic handle makes it easy to swing in a self defense situation. Sits nicely next to her seat and does not interfere with the electric seats. Easy to access. Within reach at a moment's notice. Much safer than leaving a firearm locked in a car or for places where weapons are not allowed such as schools, federal buildings and military bases.

120 characters? Hmm, I wonder what I could write with 64 characters. Boy, it's gonna be hard to use up 15 characters. W-
