My moms' old juice-o-mat. We used it quite a bit in Illinois, have no idea why I thought I wouldn't need one here... and then we bought a place with citrus trees! Boy, did I rethink that decision!
We were able to get it replaced from ebay - finally from a seller in Illinois! It is now a 'vintage' item so some of the prices sellers wanted were way too high, but there are some that are just sold as juicers, not memorabilia, so we now have juice!
Also containers, everything from tupper-type ware to bigger containers, shoulda packed stuff into the containers! It is not that they are expensive here, but for the last 5 years, most stores would only have a couple of sizes of containers at a time, over a year or two you may have a good selection, but not the grab & go type selection I had. Plus, with all of the potlucks & the need to protect things from the environment & such, we are always needing containers.
