In all seriousness - probably a couple pints of decent whiskey and maybe a couple cartons of cigarettes to use as trade goods. Some ballpoint pens and paper might be nice. A .22 cal rifle and ammunition might help. Coffee (freeze dried) and tea bags would be good. And, if you really think that matters will hit the fan, lockpicks. (Yes, you CAN buy them on the internet!)

I don't think it even needs to be "decent" whiskey (that's the stuff I'll keep for myself). I hadn't considered using it as trade goods - I think a few cheap pints might come in very handy. And it will work fine for making bourbon ribs on the grill when this is all over & we're laughing at our paranoia.

On the sanitation kit - I'm upgrading to trash-compactor bags, not regular plastic - much stronger. For those who didn't grow up in the country with outhouses, a bag of lime will make the bucket more tolerable if it's ever necessary.

Walmart has tiny little sterno stoves for $5. Hot (instant) coffee is better than cold.

lockpicks...

Too subtle....

I have one of these in my truck kit.

They put coffee in little tea bags now, much better than freeze dried coffee IMO.
