I'm curious to know what cost effective solutions others are using for the output wiring? 14/2? 16/2? Plug ends or receptacle blocks? Extension cords with the male end cut off?

Any info and good deals are appreciated.

I've been watching for deals on 6 to 15 foot extension (lamp) cords.
The Dollar store sell the 6 footer for $1,
but to find the longer ones you have to watch the other stores for discounts etc.
I missed the HD 3-cord set that they cleared out recently.

For the male end, I use the long cords from old vacuum cleaners.
I cut them off old cleaners at the recycling center.
They're generally 15 to 25 feet long,
and double insulated.
Some with ground and some without.

I buy my female ends from Action Lighting and make my own from SPT1 wire. Cheapest I could find.
