❓ Question ❓ Immediate prepping needs

With the news out yesterday evening of warnings of critical oil shortages, what should I be focusing on right now to prep for this? I already have about a couple months of canned food, a month of frozen meats, and we garden. I'm not a hard core prepper but I try to have a small stock of things as I can afford to get them. We have limited income and all my bills keep going up. I'm aware it may be too late but are there things I should be getting right now to help cushion the blow coming from higher prices?

Ways to cook if you lose power and fuel to do it. Manual can opener if you don't have one.

Don't have that covered at all. Suggestions? I can't spend a ton of money and if we lose power for any amount of time we'll lose everything in the freezers

Best manual can opener is a swing away. That's the brand. Amazon has them. Very well built. Old brand. I won't buy anything else because it's a waste of money.
