A plunger. Get it before you need it.
Amen. Not so much an issue for 40 year old me but I had so many friends in my younger days who didn't own one because they didn't think they needed it...until they needed it.
I know that feeling. When I was in college neither me or my roommates had a plunger when the toilet backed up. We tried to use a clothes hanger to unclog the toilet. It didn't work well.
I bought a toilet auger that works much better. It takes care of a lot of problems that the plunger canβt.
I put this off for way too long thinking "mehhh I won't need one"... and ended up overpaying for one when my only toilet got blocked
