When listing nouns belonging to a certain category, 啊 (a) can be added to the end of each noun to give an informal feeling a bit like saying "you know, that kind of thing" after a list of things.

  • 椅子 ,桌子 ,电脑 什么的 都 买 好 了,现在 办公室 只 差 招 员工 了!
  • 我们 什么 零食 都 有,花生 ,瓜子 ,薯片 ,你 随便 吃 吧。
  • 发展 汉语 ,新 使用 汉语 课本 ,这些 课本 我 都 学 过,没 用!

As in the first example, the list can be followed by 什么的, but is not generally followed by 等 as this feels too formal.
