If you are allowed to shop online for one last time before being banned from online shopping for 3 years, would you buy/stock up on anything?

As the title goes... Per community rules, I'd appreciate it if we keep politics out of this discussion

Just the basics
Passion Natural Water-Based Lubricant - 55 Gallon https://a.co/d/3fOztZL
- The reviews on this are worth reading. You might get some interesting recommendations after reading them, though.
Dev boards for different microcontroller and fpga platforms. Also UART to USB adapters because I can never find one when I need one and just end up ordering more.
Anything else I can buy bricks and mortar without much hassle.
Airline tickets.
All of my pet’s food.
3 years? Probably 10kg of dark chocolate, 15L of hazelnut syrup, and 50kg of protein powder.
- What are you going to snack on in a months time though?
  
  I'm only banned from online shopping so I'll snack on whatever I can buy in a physical grocery store.
First, I'd buy multiples of everything from the LDS pantry store.
If I could do one more thing it would be to download kiwix and everything on wikipedia
- Why are you downloading Wikipedia? You'll only be banned from online shopping, not using the Internet.
Nothing. I still buy most of my stuff physically
Probably stock up on some tech hobby stuff that I can't get in brick-and-mortar stores (SBCs, maybe a PinePhone or something).
N95s. I can't find any locally that fit me.
My main reasons for wearing a mask is I'm sensitive to perfumes and I work in a dusty warehouse.
They are also good for flu season.
I feel like if I stocked up, I'd then feel more tempted to shop as my supplies dwindle. I also find that if I have a large supply of something, I use it faster than expected.
That said, there's a few replacement parts of things I use regularly that I have no idea where I'd shop for something compatible physically. Things like produce savers for my fridge and filters for my air purifier
I rarely buy stuff online and when I do it's usually something I could buy locally too but I get it for cheaper from China.
Just the things currently on my shopping list. A CPU fan, a network card, some exterior lights for my house... There are no items that I buy online repeatedly.
Socks and shoes. I can't find anything big enough for my clown feet at retail.
totally stock up in drugs
