So inexpensive , it's shameful not to stockpile

Add some cream of tartar and your baking soda becomes baking powder, which on it's own, does not store well. But you can mix it as you need it. It has a bunch of uses in baking. It's one of the best potassium suppliments if you want to make your own rehydration liquids. If you find it online, in bulk, rather than tiny supermarket spice jars, it's not too expensive either.

Alum, another one that's useful in the kitchen, for keeping pickles crisp, etc. It's also a good deodorant for underarms and feet. Those "crystal" deodorants are nothing but a large crystal of alum. It's the same thing in styptic pencils used to stop bleeding when you nick yourself shaving. Tons of other uses. Again, cheap in bulk, expensive from the supermarket.

Cayenne pepper. Again, cheap in bulk. Besides uses in cooking, has medicinal uses internally and externally. Ever see ads for that "natural powder" that keeps your toes warm in cold weather? Yep, cayenne. A pinch in the toe of your socks does that very thing. Diabetics benefit greatly from using it. It's also the main ingredient in some external pain relievers and even in Zostrix that is used to treat shingles.
