Default I get $50 off $100 from Advance Auto - what should I buy?

I bought some oil from Advance Auto about a month ago and ended up getting a coupon for $50 off my next order over $100. My initial idea was to buy even more oil with the coupon but of course in the fine print I found out oil was not allowed!

So now I'm left with the challenge of finding out what I want to order. I've had my 90k service done (I'm at 101k now), brakes look good, suspension is fine, battery is fine, and I think I have all the tools I need.

What else should I stock up for???

+1 on cleaning supplies. Wheel cleaner, some good rubbing compound and wax, microfiber towels, a fresh sponge. Bug and tar remover. A few cans of brake cleaner.

Good and interesting ideas everyone!

I forgot to mention that I also have to order everything online - but I can still pick it up within the store. Well let me go shopping for cleaning supplies since that's something I will never have enough of.

Thanks!

If you've got a parts washer, Autozone sells the parts washer fluid in 5-gal containers. They also sell a couple of parts washers.
