Large containers of whole black pepper corns.
In ancient Rome, peppercorns were traded like currency. You might be onto something :)

I also have four or five of the large bricks (ten bars each) of soap.
If somebody wants to give me five gallons of gas for a bar of soap so they can have a bath, I’m game.
You are quite right. Think barter.

It is suggested one store a reasoonable amount of salt whether you use much or not. Alot of people do not. But others do, and it is good traading stock.
