Things you didn’t know you needed until you actually need them

Did you ever find yourself in the middle of a project and then realize that you need something that you ran out of last month, meant to replace, but kept putting it off.

Suddenly you remember that you are out of baking soda. Sigh. Toast and jam it is. Worry no more! While this list doesn’t include edible items, it does include a random assortment of things you didn’t know you needed, that is, until you do!
