So which stores will you have to go to and what are you going to buy?
The Hardware Store
Yes, the hardware store will be able to give you lots of interesting options and goodies one can play with. I am going to list the items you can get, what you can do with them and the approximate cost to you.
We will total the cost at the end of each section and then give you the grand total at the end of the article.
1. Clothes pins. Clothes pins can be used in the place of expensive clamps that you can generally pay more than $ 20 for at a sex shop or online. You can even paint them different colors if you want to, but this will only cost you more in the beginning and I would not recommend it. I would suggest that you look for clothes pins that do not have splinters in them as this could obviously cause injury. You could buy 30 to 40 at first.
Cost of clothes pegs: $ 3.00 to $ 5.00
2. Rope. You can buy rope at the hardware store. This will be slightly more expensive than the pegs, but will give you hours of fun. You need to look for sash cord as these stores generally do not stock hemp rope or cotton only rope. Be careful of rope used for clotheslines as these are hard and could cause injury. Look at the sash cord and you could expect to buy 50 feet of rope. You could also buy soft nylon rope - 100 feet should cost $15 and 50 feet should be approximately $10.00. You should look for quarter inch rope in both cases.
Cost of rope: Could be as much as $15
3. Batteries. Why batteries? Well you will need them for your collection of dildo's and other vibrating toys. You will need to buy one dildo and one butt plug, but we will get to these last. The large pack of AA batteries holds about 30 batteries.
Cost of batteries: Approximately $12
5. Duct tape. Hmmm yes, duct tape is a must too. You never know when you might want to be gagged and such and this is a quick alternative to rope and leather restraints. Plus in a pinch, duct tape will make for good restraints.
Cost of duct tape: Could be as low as $3.49
6. Dowels. Dowels could be used as canes a temporary measure as these stores sell oak dowels and hardwood dowels and none of these are really strong enough to last as well as bamboo does. For now you can buy either a 1 inch in diameter by 36 inch oak dowel or a 1 and a quarter inch in diameter by 36 inches oak dowel. They hurt just as much but will not last for too long.
Cost: At most $8.00 and could be as low as $4.00
7. Broom sticks (two). Get two of these and make your own spreader bars. You can varnish them if you want, but it is not essential. Buy eye bolts as well to finish off the spreader bars. You can look online for plans for spreader bars or ask at your local moot for instructions.
Cost: Broomsticks - $4 to $5 each
Cost of eye bolts - approximately $5
Cost at Home depot = Approximately $48
Your local convenience store (or dollar store):
You can buy several items from this store like wooden spoons, candles (preferably non-scented non colored as these are safer to play with) and spatulas. You could buy all of this for under $15 at last purchase. The wooden spoons make great paddles and can be used quite effectively in spanking.
Sex Shop:
This is your last stop for now. You need to buy two things here. A good vibrator or dildo and a small butt plug or a set of butt plugs to train with. Your cost would be as follows:
There are good g-spot vibrators that work well in other ways too for $20.You can also get regular 6 inch vibrators for as low as $12. Your butt plug could cost you as little as $10 and a beginner set as little as $15. Let's say you buy the most expensive items, your bill here could be $35. Your cheaper option will cost you only $24. Remember to buy lube as well. You can get Vaseline for this purpose at the dollar store and still be under your budget.
Total = $ 24 to $35
Your total spend would $87 to $98 and you can start playing. From here on out your collection of pervertables can only grow. Enjoy the little discoveries and ideas you will have while shopping too.
