I assume you mean for priming? If you have any extra DME that works great...it's all I use anymore. Depending on the recipe/gravity about 1-1/4 cups boiled in about 1 pint of water will do the trick. I'm sure you can also use table sugar from the grocery store, but I've never tried it. Someone else on here will probably help in that area.
 
Just about anything. Plain white sugar, brown sugar, honey, molasses, maple syrup, DME... any fermentable sugar will work. They'll all contribute slightly different flavours and stuff, and you need to use a slightly different amount of each, but it's not a problem.
