MODERATORS
Your local janitorial supply is better than Amazon.
Honestly every household should have an account at one, everything there is practical and works well unlike most modern consumer products. Dirt cheap too.
Stuff like broom and dustpan, mop and bucket, spray bottles, squeegees, concentrated cleaning products, paper towel... Buy commercial grade, buy it for life.
Good fuckin tip my person! Fire as fuck
As a corollary, look for restaurant supply places to get utensils and whatnot, it's usually cheaper and you'll get more durable stuff. A lot of them don't require memberships either.
Business owners generally buy from business-supply places and not regular retail stores. So if a smaller business could conceivably want to buy something, there's probably a business-supply place that sells it nearby. You may pay a bit more for durable things, but it's often actually cheaper and they don't cycle things out as quickly (businesses will inevitably need to buy more, and they want them to match).
