I had a thought the other day. Let’s assume that the economy gets bad. I mean really bad. So bad that many of your local specialty food providers went out of business. I really, really hope that this isn’t the case.

Again, let’s assume that it does get that bad. What would you stockpile? What would you spend your precious dollars on to make sure that you would have them in the future?

For instance, I might fill a freezer in my garage with Peppermint Stick and Pistachio ice cream from Bennett’s.

I might create an airtight shed of Groundwork Coffee, along with some extra filters for my Chemex.

How could I help to keep these kind of local gems in business? By visiting them of course. Maybe not spending as much as I used to, or making sure that I buy coffee that I know I am going to use in time not to throw it out.

Where do you hope to still be patron in the next year or two? If something does go awry, what would you stockpile?
