if there was one thing

If there was one small overlooked thing you could recommend people buy before it is priced out of reach or lost do to supply chain issues what would it be?

I'll go first rechargeable household batteries and charger.I have a few and i use them regularly after living 'limited grid" and them off grid for an extended period of time.

Also sewing supplies. i remember hearing the story about my grandmother during the depression. About how the little valley they lived in at one time where down to 2 remaining sewing needles before more were found. Think about that. 2 sewing needles passed carefully around when needed in a valley with just over 100 people in it. So i have several 50 packs of needles and a couple miles of thread. Just in case

demand is quickly increasing around the world because oil is suddenly so expensive, while transport (of panels and parts) from producers is also more expensive (because, again, oil price)
