What’s One Item You Regret Not Stockpiling Earlier?

Wish I’d started putting back more OTC meds and antibiotic ointment before prices shot up. Ran low quicker than expected last year. What’s the one thing you wish you hadn’t overlooked or waited too long to add to your long-term stores?

Rain gear, hands down. Thought I could just improvise with what I had, but a real waterproof jacket and decent boots make a world of difference when you're out in the elements for days. Got soaked more than once before I finally wised up and stocked extra. Funny how it's usually the basics that get overlooked! Anyone else find themselves scrambling for something they thought was “optional” at first?

Should’ve stocked way more seeds for the garden—prices sneaked up and some varieties just vanished last spring. Anyone else notice how fast heirloom seeds dry up lately?

Absolutely agree on the seeds—thought I had plenty, but I ran out of green bean and tomato seeds fast with the grandkids helping in the garden. Anyone found a reliable source lately?
