What's a must buy household item?
 
Carbon monoxide detectors. If your home already has them, then my answer would be a fire extinguisher.
 
Food. hehehehe
 
A screwdriver with a solid bottom, and interchangeable tips. Got mine at a cheap store. Can't tell you how many times I've used it. For the weirdest things, like putting the plunger together after getting stuck in the pothole,

Ohh something to entertain you (TV books cards) as you are on the toilet
 
A g./f. heheh

I would argue a air purification system (you don't need a an expensive air purifier, even a box fan assembly like would tackle a downstairs and another for the basement with at least 4 air changes/hour. While your rooms can simply get away with one stuck to the intake side of a box fan instead of this cubicle design).

As I feels like a lot of people don't factor air quality unless they a persistent allgen or smoke issue and/or concerned about COVID carriers.
 
Can't just answer with one thing lol Food, security measures (guns, cameras, smoke alarms, etc).

There are many things that you'd need. But I'd have to add Tylenol (or whatever your preferred pain reliever is). I always keep some at the house and I keep some more in my purse. You never know when a headache or some other aches and pains are going to crop up.

I thought to point out for this, there actually a difference between name brands and their generic counterparts. So make sure you understand which pain reliever to actually be taking for the pain in question.
 
Security measures are not always needed, spending $1000 for it to fail since they can hack into it. I mean rather spend it on doors that you can't use C4 on it.
 
Repair Tools, replacement for lights, hoses, a tester, wielding machine, a grinder, some paint and also extra floor tiles!

I know right?!

I rather more practically deploy DIY offline units that only sends to a internally wired unit. That way they can't follow the trail so to speak. ;)

For added security you could lock up the Pi or what not in a small rack security box and shove that way. Even if they DO find it it will take them even more time to break it (just remember to bolt it or something internally so they can't just cut the line and run away with it for offsite cracking).
 
In my country, the Philippines, there are three things that we should have: salt, rice, and water. These are essential elements to bring luck to our household residents.
 
Basic repair tools, flash light in case of power outage. We also need some canned food.
