Light bulbs-hoard HID Metal halide bulbs-100W,250W,400W pulse and probe start.And hoard the fixtures-been finding several at yard sales.electrical contractors get rid of them that way-some of my 100W ones came from a former clothing store.Very nice light!

<span style="font-size: medium;">Wow , I haven't been whoring in many years...oh you meant hoard...hmmm, I suppose diecast metal cars and trucks. 100's I think. Lost count. </span>

Toilet paper. At least 18 rolls. Right now I have 30. It was on sale for a dollar off.

Food. I've got a month worth of meals, just counted them. I'd need to refresh bread and milk.

Beer. I've got 2 1/2 cases. Almost a month worth. It was on sale too.

Cigarettes. Just started hoarding those. Price goes up September first, every carton I hoard saves me $7.

Having been consigned to a retirement home by my family, much of what I used to collect has been sold or shuffled off to Goodwill/Salvation. Brother is storing my laundry set, just in case I ever get an actual residence again.

I made a major capital investment today, a Fry Daddy so I can make fish sandwiches. Those frozen fillets just don't work in the oven. I'm sure you understand.

hoarding...

certain 50s car parts, vacuum tubes and light bulbs are hoarded here. Oh, and there's a few KAs and associated parts

Farberware:

Any time I see vintage aluminum-clad Farberware in a thrift or yard sale, I snatch it up. Even if it has issues, it's often good for parts. A nasty saucepan for a buck that has a good handle is a better deal than buying a replacement handle new. And Farberware only used two handle sizes.

I've been known to pick up lids and say - "Great - now all I need is the pot to go under it."

And, sooner or later, one turns up....

hoarding? ehhh, maybe. I tend to temporarily reserve for some undetermined use in the event that something is needed. Lately, it has been cook books,lamps, barometer/temp/humidity set, clocks, phones, art supplies, kitchen ware, hardware, antique computer oddities, phones, and home shelving(lot of good Elfa shelving finds), camera accessories, furniture(for stereo and computer uses)...and occasionally candy, cake, ice cream, sherbert, and empty calories!

Hubby says my hoarding would apply to ALL vintage appliances, lamps and vacuums... LOL

However, I will admit that I cannot pass up mixer bowls (I have 100s...) and I have a 'prepare for the coming hard times' hoard of canned foods. I do rotate them, but I always stock up when specific items are on special. I joke that we could survive in Ogden for an entire winter if we got snowed in...

 

[ovrphil]

100s of mixing bowls? Many duplicates or mostly unique? It's hard to imagine that much variety in mixing bowls, other than the color of glass; green, white, brown, yellow and blue-ish tinted glass.

Maybe...only Martha S. has a couple more.....in "HER" house(s). lol

LED Lighting and lamps, I finally graduated from flashlights.

Every time I see a new LED lamp in a home store it usually follows me home for performance testing. There is so much innovation and creative design today. Solid state lighting has now broken the 100 lumen/watt barrier with high color rendering index light. And once we stop trying to make LED's screw into legacy fixtures then the development will really get interesting!

 

[classiccaprice]

Just as long as they make some sort of adapter. I like my lamps too much... which is one of my items I hunt for. I have a big vintage vynal collection, several vintage tvs, radios, stereos, and pretty much anything from the 50's and 60's. I'm having to part now to make the house look good. It's so difficult!

Hoard? Hoarding? Hoarder?

<span style="font-size: large;">Excuse my limited english vocabulary but what's hoarding? I never heard about that! </span>

 

<span style="font-size: large;">I tried</span><span style="font-size: large;"> Google French translations and it's telling me </span><span style="font-size: large;">"Thésauriser" and "thésaurisation"  I still have no idea what that is! (seriously, I never heard these words in French!).</span>

 

 

<span style="font-size: large;">OK, I know something I definitely don't hoard! It's money!! </span>Or maybe I do but it's just a few coins!

 

On a second thought, I don't hoard sugar sachets or matchbooks like my uncle did when he was a kid! I remember my grandmother throwing the stuff away from his bedroom a few years after he left! Too bad as some of these were already 20+ years old when she did and they'd probably be 50 years old now!

All of those 45's reminds me of the boxful I got from a radio station-still have them-they have a little "Q" burn on them from airplay-but they are fine-A jukebox would be nice to store and play them in.So far having a hard time finding a jukebox I can afford that is in reasonable condition.At one time radio stations were another good source for 45's. But nowadays most radio station DJ's have nerver SEEN one-or a turntable for that matter.I do have a small "hoard" of Technics TT's I got from a radio station after they converted to digital.I got a TRUCKFUL of equipment from them after they converted to digital Scotts Studio Touchscreen systems.Fixed their transmitter.They had new studdio gear -but were using an older Gates transmitter.Jukebox route operators were another source of 45's if you got to know them-but the records would have a lot of playing time on them.

Reading these comments, I see that people still like incandescent light bulbs. I wish that someone close to me were in that category. I have over 100 various types of bulbs that I have been trying to sell on CL, without takers. I even have a couple of these Westinghouse sunlamps.

I just can't imagine using bulbs consuming 100 watts or more.

My hoard stash

The things I hoard, ironically enough.....

Is every cleaning/laundry product known to man. I just have a thing for chemicals - this extends to aftershaves/personal care :/

Sunlamps---Skin cancer in a box!Loved the text on the sunlight bulb packages-how the UV can be healthful-in those days--maybe-but later on as people got skin cancer from too much exposure to real sunlight and tanning rays from sunlamps and tanning machines-things changed.
