Sugar and Molasses
Buy some cane and brown sugar in the raw to sweeten things up a bit. Buy all your sugar wrapped in plastic or purchase it in bulk and store it in an air-tight container with some rice to soak up moisture.
You are going to need sugar for preserving fruits as jams and jellies as well as for marinades and other things. Don’t skip it. Furthermore, in a SHTF scenario, you can trade some sugar for other supplies.
