Real vanilla, not the cheap corn syrup crap they pass off as such. For me I'm finding dried garlic, peppercorns and assorted seasoning spices are very handy. I picked up three or four different premixed bottles with hrinder tops, and also I tinker with my own blends using old bottles. Cooking for myself it's much more efficient. Not necessarily a spice, but olive oil is also in my cabinet and raw apple cider vinegar. Goddamn ACV is magic. I just used it for curing a kid's shingle pain and killing fruit flies all in one day. Then drank a little to help with this chest cold.
